  Nate,

    We used to have a murry lawn mower and the best thing we did to it =
was change the drive pulleys.  It is kinda like swaping gears in your =
trans.,but a little different.  There is one pulley going from the =
engine to the trans. pulleys.  I think we changed that one to smaller =
pulley  =20

    Our murry was alot of fun.  We used to put it in reverse, floor it =
then slam it into 1st and the best of use could keep a wheely for about =
15yards.  It was the most fun I ever had with beer and trackers.  What =
you don't want to do is try running off of ethonal in stead of pump gas. =
 We tried that and seized the motor.  So you might want to stay away =
from trying to chemically supercharge the B&S. =20

  HTH

  Chris
