hope someone can help me with this one. i have a cub cadet 1541. has the original "magnum 15" engine in it, over 1100 hours on meter. runs good, except for the other day. after mowing for about an hour, i was going to back it into the shed. turned up throttle a little bit and then the engine totally reved up, higher than it ever should have. it runs from idle to wide open hardly any in between. when it does, it is very sensitive to the throttle. i checked over the govenor and throttle linkage and all is just where it should be. throttle is free moving and is not hanging up. all springs are ok. is there an internal govenor on the kohler? or, is something possibly wrong with the carb? i did make an adjustment a week or so to the carb but it did not do this after the adjustment. i am afraid that if i run it like this, the engine is going to blow or the tractor is going to go out of control. HELP!!!
