John Deere 3010 starting issues

Hayden Wilson · Jun 17, 2012

When I crank my 3010 it starts to rev up without hitting the accelerator and gets to about 2000rpms and I have to cut it off. After starting it a few times it works itself down to an idle. Does anyone know why it is doing this? I"m afraid if I don"t figure this out it will throw a rod through the motor.

Is this a diesel ? If so, pretty good chance it needs to go th the injection pump shop for a new governor weight ring.

If it has diesel engine I agree with Jon Hagen that the governor ring has deteriorated in the inj pump.

Yeah it is a diesel. And I will have that checked out. Thank you for your advice.

Check your fuel filter. They rev when starved for fuel.

Change the fuel filter first, thats the cheap fix if it works. If not, you have the new filter to feed your rebuilt pump.
