I attest that I did get the beast up to 65 ONCE (I have been chastized
about wrecking the engine and will never do it again), whereas before
the hubs it would only do about 57. Note that my M35 has had an S-280
sized shelter on it since I got it. A big wind resistance issue if
there ever was one.
I was chastized for running the engine at this speed, if only for a
minute or so. Joe Young says don't do it, so I'll take that as good
advice.
As to the 'governor' bolt on the floor, I found that on mine, the
operating lever on the pump stops traveling before I get to the bolt.
A spring then takes up the extra movement of the gas pedal.
