22 September 2007 - 3:26Lawn Mower Problem??

Will asked:

I have a Troy-Bilt Tuff Cut 220 lawn mower and I was cutting the grass and bumped into some 2×4’s I had laying around…they where stacked on one another and theres one on top that was longer than the others and was sticking out and hit the top of the lawn mower (the engine) I mean it wasent that bad really but out of the no where the engine seemed like it began to slow down..
Like the RPM went down like half way…The gas tank is full and the oil s good…i dont know what happend, the blade still spins but its a lot more slow.
Any help on fixng this?
Thanks.

    For two screws on the carburetor one adjusts the idle speed try turning each slightly in both directions until maximum performance is achieved.

    the 2×4 probably bent the governor linkage. take it to a shop and tell them what happened. should be a quick fix.
