Mark siebenaler 88 #1 Posted April 3, 2023 When I go to throttle up I only have to move the lever up about 3/4 fourth of an inch and it's at a very high speed already? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,460 #2 Posted April 3, 2023 Sounds like something's out of adjustment there. I can get pics of a Kohler throttle setup later if someone else doesn't get it done by then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you post a picture of your throttle linkage? It will help us diagnose the issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,444 #4 Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Throttle cable controls the governor, and the governor controls the speed. Sound like more of a governor problem. Pictures to follow soon. Make sure that the governor is adjusted at this point according to the manual before making any other adjustments. Edited April 3, 2023 by rmaynard 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #5 Posted April 3, 2023 Check the location of the spring in the holes of the linkages shown in Bob's last pic. My sweet spots are usually the third holes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,460 #7 Posted April 5, 2023 @Mark siebenaler Have you adjusted the governor arm? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,620 #9 Posted April 5, 2023 @Mark siebenaler would also give both ends of that governor mount point some lubricant , and related linkage , agree with others on possible problem areas . verify each point for easy movement , so it can follow the initial , request / intent . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
