2284 throttle problem
Recently my grandparents aquired a 2284. The little cover with the blow by tube was leaking copious amounts of oil between it and the block. Got a new gasket and a little hi temp rtv and fixed it.
In the process, the throttle&choke assembly and gov arm had to be removed. We reassembled it tonight and started it up. It fired and ran wot with the throttle lever in low idle poss. We messed with it a little and found that when we manually placed the throttle arm in low idle it would start and run fine, but when I throttled it up it would run away. Once this happened we had to move the throttle arm back by hand for the engine to idle. The cable is hooked up and everything re assembled as it was. All cables work and are in good visual shape. Could it be that our gov is not set right? Any help appreciated. I don't know how to set the governor if it is that... kinda running on a hunch here

If you removed the governor control arm, the governor has to be reset. It is the same procedure as any Kohler motor.
Copied from the Kohler manual: 1. Make sure throttle linkage is connected to governor arm and throttle lever on carburetor. 2. Loosen nut holding governor lever to cross shaft. 3. Move governor lever toward carburetor as far as it will go (wide open throttle) and hold in this position. 4. Insert a long thin rod or tool into hole on cross shaft and rotate shaft clockwise (viewed from end) as far as it will turn, then torque nut to 7.3 N·m (65 in. lb.)

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
