Hi Grumpy
You have the correct manual. I just took the pump off the engine and I am going check it over. I am going to check the engine over also. How does the governor work on these engines? Can I bolt the engine back down without the pump on it and run it? I want to try to isolate the problem it's either the engine or the pump.
With your pump can you adjust the engine speed? mine has a lever that you adjust the speed of the engine. If I set it low it runs wide open and it doesn't matter what I do it runs wide open. Its seems to me the governor is not functioning right it just pushes the throttle to the wide open position all the time. I guess I will know more tomorrow when I get the engine bolted down and start it up with no pump on it. To me it should idle where ever set the throttle lever is set.
Thanks
