Atco query.

One for Clive perhaps.
My neighbour bid successfully for a complete 1956 two stoke(14") and got it for £26. He went into a local Agri. merchant for a couple of bits and was offered a similar one from the back of the workshop for £20 so he had that as well!
After a bit of fettling we got the first one going within minutes. The question I have is;
Can the engine speed be reduced, there doesn't seem to be any adjustment.(The cable may be stretched?) I presume to stop the engine one uses the old screwdriver trick or switch the fuel off?
The second one is 1954 & we're looking forward to playing with that. It looks in superb condition.
Many thanks in anticipation.
