Mach1dave 0 #1 Posted May 24, 2020 Can anyone help me with why the engine always runs at high speed. Even if I drop throttle down to idle it still run at full speed. is that a governor problem? If so how can I fix it. any help is appreciated. thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 12,197 #2 Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Has always done this? Have you made any recent adjustments to the throttle cable, or governor? BTW Edited May 24, 2020 by rjg854 add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 60,007 #3 Posted May 24, 2020 Take a look at the linkage going from the throttle cable to the governor and from the governor to the throttle arm on the carburetor. If all of that is moving freely as it should I would suggest you remove the carburetor to see if the throttle plate has become jammed or fallen off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
