[SEL] Throttled vs hit&miss sound

[Best, George]

Tom and I both have 18hp Stovers.  Mine is throttle governed and Tom's looks to be hit&miss.

While I know most people prefer hit&miss over throttle governed, including myself, I do think that in some cases I prefer throttled over hit&miss.

Almost all of my collection is hit&miss but two of my largest engines are throttle governed, and I think I actually prefer them that way.

Last month I saw a 22hp Stover hit&miss running and going through its coasting cycles and it really didn't do anything for me. I much prefer the nice steady beat of my 18hp Stover.

I think that I've acquired a taste for the nice steady beat when it comes to larger engines.  Small engines still need to be hit&miss for me.

Anyone else developed a liking for throttle governed?

George

George,

lol  Hopefully soon I'll have some time to dig into the Stover.  :)  I was hoping that someone would want to tear into it and grab a wrench at the get together but that didn't happen.  :(
