[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 280912, member: 7544"] Yes, it's an extremely bad idea to disable or bypass the governor on that engine. Doing so will allow that engine to rev so high, it can and likely will, go into self destruct mode. Although it wasn't a Briggs, my brother did this stunt on a 5hp engine of mine that I had loaned him, and it snapped the top of the valve stem of and dropped the valve on the piston. It wasn't pretty. [/QUOTE]
