Have you checked the governer?

We had it apart cleaned it up every thing looked to be in order

Something is binding in the governor linkages. At what speed does it idle?

 

[Young Buck]

well it idles at differnt speeds it depends on the throttle lever im starting to wonder if thats part of my problem it is very wore but when you pull it all the way back it will idle all the way down to i think 3 or 400 rpm then kind of catch itself and come back up to 600 but it needs to run about 850 to make the generator light go off. we have a 50 deere and you can pull the throttle back from full blast and it just idles away without even a waver id like the 730 to do that also

My 720 used to do this until I replaced the filter bowls, one of them had a hole in it.

I think you need a service manual so you can adjust the throttle linkage correctly. Sounds like you are shutting the fuel off and thats why it hunts. If you had the governer housing off there is some adjustments for the linkage arms inside the hsng on the side of the block.
