Over-revving?

[F600-new]

I still agonize over the day I fired up my Jube after not having started it for weeks and the RPMs shot up. After one or two tries with the throttle lever to bring the RPMs down I quickly shut off the engine. Started up again but knew nothing had changed so I very quickly turned it off and had a look at the linkage.

Problem was I had knocked the governor control rod off at the carb lever ball while replacing my fan belt.

I really wish I had known about this before it happened.

Did anything bad end up happening because you started it at full throttle?

It was worth a shot.. Im kinda new to the tractor world. What he posted i kind of did. My tractor was already running and warm. Some how my throttle was all the way up and i started it. It was throttled up for maybe a second. 2400 rpms. Didnt know if the would do to much damage..
