Default Thanks for the welcomes

Thanks for the welcomes and a question from MrMac, I had a tractor come in , with a "lack of throttle control while an engine is running,it it did run at a high R.P.M.,But,it fails to come down on slow position" it turns out the customer tried to tune it himself and ended up with a trottle screw in backwards, some springs in the wrong holes and the jets were all miss adjusted, or it could be some dirt in the carb. Check your linkages for binding or sticking, look up the specs for your engine and check the initial settings as to how yours is set up.If you are comfortable cleaning the carb outside and inside that often clears up a lot of performance problems, let me know what works for you to get the throttle control back. I hope I have been of some help.
