Engine starts to race while it is running

Recommended Posts

I have a Wheel Horse 416H tractor with an Onan engine and while it is running it just starts to race for no reason. Does anyone know why and how I can fix this?

Let us know how you are making out.  I want to add a few comments.  The flyball spacers are becoming hard to find, Boomer is a source but he has a waiting list.  There is a guy on here that made a few, they are expensive, but worth the price.  In the link that I provided there is an issue, in step 18 you will see a fork under the left yellow arrow, that fork should be centered and the pictured one has the ball under the shaft missing.
