The wind vane governor is super easy to remove. Bend a metal tab or two and off it pops.

I took my old ~1959 Pope mower out for its first proper run the other day. No governor at all. Holy hell that was interesting. I wanted to film a "hot lap" with it but one hand was full pushing it and the other was busy trying not to let it run away! A bit of an adrenaline rush, I have no idea when the blades were last changed and them grenading into my legs was always in the front of my mind, hahaha!

I'm going to tweak the cable, but I must say, I do like my governed engines.

I don't collect mowers. I just require Multiple Mowing Solutions™.
