Massey Ferguson 50

I adjusted the values and rebuilt the carburetor and put in a new distributor. Tractor starts fine but idols at high RPMs can't get it to get RPMs to come down HELP!

Did you hook the throttle linkage back to the carb correct?

Welcome to the forums.

Did you have the throttle shaft out and perhaps installed it 180 degrees out during assembly?

Did you SYCHRONISE the carb to governor arm rod per the repair manual? If the rod is too short on that application the governor won't control speed correctly. All linkage must move freely, any binding will cause trouble too. Hopefully there's no trouble with the cam gear weight assembly or the timing cover control linkage.

Everyone makes mistakes, everyone. You admitted to yours, many don't/won't.

No problem 99. Just trying to add a little humor to things. I better watch out, I will get black-balled for taking a post off topic.
