560D no acceleration, what did I do wrong??????

Finally got the pump mounted on the 560 last weekend and went this afternoon to try and get it going again but not without problems. I drained the batteries trying to get the fuel system bled and than when I finally did get it to start all it will do is idle. Moving the throttle lever makes NO change of engine speed.

One other odd thing is when you try and move the lever right at the pump if you put side pressure on either the throttle lever or the shutoff lever the engine will increase speed EVER SO SLIGHTLY. I am wondering if I got the throttle lever on the shaft wrong on the insside or if it's something else.

Any help would be great as I really thought I had it together the same way it came apart as I was pretty meticulous with marking things (or so I thought).
 
Most likely the throttle shaft is not installed correctly. This could also be the reason it was so difficult to bleed.

The governor will always try to move the metering valve to the low idle position. The throttle shaft needs to put pressure on the springs to be able to increase the speed. If not installed properly it will move the arm to the rear but not to the front.

When you take the cover off to check it make sure that the throttle will increase pressure on the springs and more importantly that the shut off lever will move the metering valve to the shut off position.
 
Thanks Owen, thats what I was leaning towards myself. I hate to take it off as I took the guts outta the check valve at the tank and I really dont want to get a another bath till i get a cap on the line. Oh well thats a small price to pay if I get it going again. The shutoff works just fine as the shutoff lever stopped the engine just as supposed to. Wonder if I can convince the wife I gotta go back to the farm tomorrow and fix it right??????
 
Owen I ckecked it out this afternoon and everything was together properly, BUT the throttle shaft is slipping on the arm that goes into the pump so I think I got the problem nailed down. Thanks again for the help.
