Re: Bought a new toy. A Toro "Snow Commander"

Thanks for the response! From what I've read @4000 rpms is ideal for the snow commander. The motor can handle more but the machine can get difficult to control if you go much higher. I guess I will engage the rotors but not put a load on them and set the rpm there.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I have been searching the web for two days and I cannot find the answer I am looking for. I have a snow commander and I recently installed a new metal carburetor. After I installed it the motor was surging. I ordered a new governor spring and rod because I thought I might have damaged them when I removed the plastic carburetor. I installed the new spring and rod last night and it is now running perfectly. After doing all the research online I now want to make sure the rpms are set properly. I am going to order a rpm reader but I am not sure how to set the rpms properly. Do I set it while the motor is at idle? Do I engage the rotors and put it under a load? From what I understand I just need to bend the rod the governor spring is attached to. I just want to be sure I set the rpms properly. I love this machine and I don't want to damage it by over revving it.
