I'm calling out Bill Pearson... if he ain't too skeered!

[Docwheelhorse 2,660]

Dragged out the Briggs powered walk behind... did a carb clean, replaced rotted fuel line, oil change and evict mouse even though evictions are currently illegal.

 

Well Mr. Briggs and Mr. Stratton want to challenge Mr. Pearson to his low idle challenge...

 

I personally don't think a Tecumseh could idle this low TURNED OFF... LOL

 

Hope to see all of you in June.

 

I know Bill doesn't come around here often..

 Maybe he will see this.

Ok.  Maybe a dumb question...  who is Mr. Pearson?  And why do we want to run an splash lubricated engine so slow?

@pullstart  Wild Bill is the guy that does the horse parade at the Big Show.

The guy in the western shirt, white pants, and cowboy boots....

I agree on the "why the slow idle?"
 

This is Bill

Bill does a "slow race" at the show.... slowest tractor wins.

 

Don't worry I turned the idle up to factory zone... I was just playing "limbo" for a minute ---how low can you go...---

 and I had my hands full multi-tasking!

We don't dingus..... is just for a bit tho and the whole idea is to run the tractor a slow as possible ...first one to cross the finnish line is last. Hydros usually rule.  Even with a six speed in low and my idle screw backed out so just a thump thump I lost to some Godforsaken cub....
