When you pull back the throttle, it stays there and the governor dosn't compensate at all. This tractor sat for about 2 yrs without being run, could something just be stiff in there? You can move the gov arm ahead and back by hand. Any ideas where I go from here? [Reply]   [No Email]

If it does you got linkage problems [Reply]  [No Email]

How much disassembly is needed for a front cover-ectomy? Can it be done without removing the front end? [Reply]  [No Email]
