Combines F motor revs and only runs wide open

Its got to be the governor.Check to see if the governor lever moves when you rev the engine. Thats got to be fixed,full rpm on a dry start, it can't be good for a engine.

Could it be something as simple as a spring missing, or worn offIJ I had that happen to me a couple of times. Went to slow the engine down to unload and it wouldn't.I'm not familiar with Gleaners but it's just a thought.

Different set up but when throttle cable broke on A2 it went to full throttle.Cable was used only to slow it down.They are limiting speed governors not variable speed like a tractor.

The lever moves and if I hold the butterfly it will idle, but when i let go it goes wide open.
