DavidBoren do you have any other hobbies besides lawnmower carburetors?
You are very correct! Think of a dyno as a stationary drag strip.It's the same concept as putting the motor on a go kart , and measuring
the time it takes for the kart to hit X rpm= speed, with a fixed gear clutch. Kinda like tuning at the drag strip?
Not a true dyno, but better than running a push mower with no load in the air. Or snow?
You need to worry about critical blade tip speed. I have had a blade come apart. It is not pretty and will wreck your mower. 1941 Wards Wasp with a cast iron deck.
