Having the carburetor working properly helps too.
I just rebuild the carb and replaced a lost spring on the governor on my 18.5hp V-twin, now it feels like it could power a 54 inch deck with ease in all but tall weeds.
The carb had 2 bad seals that would flood the engine with fuel under heavy load and the gov spring wasn't allowing the engine to run at full speed.
