D17 throttle

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   New to me D17 Series 1, had it about 2 weeks:  Runs smoothly, idles fine, but seems like it goes from a moderate fast idle right to throttled up and wound out with little in between.  Not much increase for first 2/3 of the movement down of the lever then she's off to the races with the governor kicking in.  That's me mentally comparing it to my WD, WD-45, 170 and 175--all gasoline engines.  I looked at the linkages, governor, springs and it all seems in order.   Normal for a D17?  I did find an old post of Dr. Allis that said the have a stiff spring and quick response.
