I'm having a devil of a time getting the throttle on my 2010 Wheel adjusted correctly, and while the first step of the procedure has you "adjust the rear control rod until the governor control lever contacts the firewall", there is absolutely no way this is possible on my tractor while the front control rod (the long part that runs along the gas tank) is installed. The bellcrank bottoms out a few inches before, even with the rod adjusted as short as possible and the governor linkage removed, and best case I end up with a large dead spot at the bottom end and thus a very short throttle range.
I did note that the parts diagram shows the bellcrank end of the rod (T18579) having a clevis clip , whereas mine has a cotter pin with a hole. There also appears to be a handful of different revisions of the linkage/governor throughout the history, and the 'newer' one (T18942) shows the cotter pin setup, so i'm wondering if somewhere along the line a wrong, longer rod got installed somehow. Information about either, however, is scarce.
Does anyone know what the overall length of the early-model throttle rod should be, or roughly what the position of the bellcrank for both the idle and full throttle should look like? I feel like something is wrong somewhere.
Thanks
