rdr pretty much said it all. Briggs manuals also tell you to bend the tab to adjust the rpms. They actually have a "special" tool, but it just amounts to a cheezy piece of 3/16in round stock with a slit cut in the end. (Pliers work fine!) I use a "SenDEC" (Flash Alert) tach/hour meter. Works to 8000 rpms, AND monitors hours and reminds you to change oil every 25 hours. Here's a link to their web site.

It's all just nuts and bolts.
