Why don't I have a throttle control on my mower?

Most Walk Power Mowers we offer do not have a throttle control.  A throttle control would allow you to vary the engine speed from idle all the way up to full speed.   We have found,  not having it actually increases engine life and product performance.

 

Here are some of the reasons full throttle operation is best.

  • Cleaner cut on the grass
  • More power, less likely to bog down
  • Less stress on the engine
  • Engine runs cooler (Full speed means more cooling air from the flywheel area)
  • Slow engine speeds can result in hot spots on the cylinder


On units with throttle control we recommend full throttle operation while in use.  Throttling down for a minute to talk to the neighbor is fine but that’s about the only time
