Harley Roadking 3 #1 Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Hello I have a d200 It starts fine runs good,till you move the throttle lever instead of slowly speeding up it runs fullbore when I move the lever just a little,any ideas on the problem Edited December 13, 2022 by Harley Roadking more pics 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,597 #2 Posted December 13, 2022 Is this a new problem or a problem with a new to you tractor? Do you have any pictures of how the throttle is connected to the engine? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,173 #3 Posted December 13, 2022 Dont know if this is the problem, but would be worth cking -- the throttle lever is - like many - made with a 'friction' nut and that is adjusted by tightening/loosening this nut. When it gets wear it'll let the throttle be TOO loose and give your type complaint, try snugging this nut up a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that where the governor lever is to hook to throttle,tightened that it was loose,still does it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The throttle handle that you move by hand has a ...''threaded stud?" going thru the dash with a 9/16" nut (I think?) back there. By loosening or tightening it determines how much friction to have on the lever. And FWIW, the motion handle has a similar type adjustment, if the motion handle creeps on you, you tighten a friction nut there also..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
