    Default Briggs 850 speed up

    Just wondering if anyone knows how to speed up the Briggs 850 I asked the dealer to speed it up and he took it from 2800 to 3050 but it's still to slow and think 3300-3600 would be better and would like to be able to do it myself, otherwise I will have to wait until I can take it in to have the new chassis fitted
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Hi Ian. This is probably not the correct way to do it but I've done it on 3 carbys with no problems.

    I just bend the tab in the pic forward. Just bend it a little at a time until you get to the revs you want. If you bend it back/forth too often you might break it off.

    Thanks I might give it a go,I'm hoping the dealer has the new chassis in next week and I think I will ask him to try increasing it more
