I got a 4255 that will only rev to about 1700 rpms any idea what would cause this?

Check to see if your fuel filter is cloudy.

If it is, your filter is probably gelled. Enough fuel would pass through to run the engine, but not enough to rev it much.

What's ambient temp? Is fuel tank venting? Check for good flow from fuel tank to inj pump. How many hrs of use since fuel filter was changed

Also suggest evaluating check valve if you have one
