I got the feeling it was something like that. If there is something wrong I would like to fix it but like I said, It doesn't feel bad, just different. It pulls ok, I can hear and feel the governor working etc. At top speed I think it would be too fast for cutting. Ill have to spend a little more time in the seat to see if I like it.
