yes, just make it where you can use the throttle and speed it up that way…..

Yes, you’d prolly wind up blowing it. Most common thing when that happens is throwing the rod.

I think you’d go faster, they do it all the time in lawn mower racing (they remove the blades first of course!)

You will brake the connecting rod, the speed will be to much and it will brake.

It would run faster……….for a while before blowing up.

Of course you will tell your dad that you have no idea why the engine blew, and you’ll ask him to buy a new one, RIGHT?

you would definetly blow the engine
This engine bearing (ROD BEARING)is cooled and lubed by the oil splashing.
Sinse there is no oil pump the bearing would start slapping the crank from over reving and would brake the Rod

engine will blow because the governor controls the rpms of the motor making sure this does not happen. but what the hell do it and go really fast for a short amount of time it will be fun!
