Case DC governor problem

[Anonymous-0]

I would put this on the Case board, but not as many people look at it there. Anyways, my Case DC will rev way up and out of control if it isnt idled all the way down. Do I just have to shorten the rod that connects the throttle lever to the governor, is it a carburetor problem, or something else? I don't know too much about Case's. Thanks

The adjustment on the carburetor is very important and has only one setting. With the engine off, open the trhottle wide open and check the throttle arm to stop position. It should be 1/16 of an inch from contacting the stop. Usually setting the rod length so the pin will just slip through the holes when holding the carburetor wide open.
If the carburetor or manifold has been removed and reinstalled, this adjustment will often be wrong.... Gene
