[QUOTE="Dameon, post: 78271, member: 10703"] The flow control was purchased so I don't over spin my implements. If a rotary brush cutter is designed to be driven at 540 rpm and I spin it at 600 rpm, there is a potential for part failure. I'd rather not be 6 feet from a blade that gives out and comes flying off. I do intend to spin the motor up without the flow control and gauge rotational speed with my handheld laser tachometer. If it's spinning close to 540 rpm, then I'm not going to worry about it. If the motor is designed to spin 600 rpm at 30 gpm, and I'm pushing it with 27 gpm, simple ratio math shows it should be 540 rpm (600 / 30 = 20 * 27 = 540). Calculations don't always agree with actuals. [/QUOTE]
