Have a model D grader with D17 engine, while blading my road all of a sudden the engine started running faster than it has ever had and would not go down in engine speed without the engine almost stopping, just one step with the throttle and it was racing high again. my brother says its possible the carb. Please, I need help where to look, and get this workhorse back to working. Road is bad and needs attention. Thanks for any info or suggestions

as said in this post and in 170 gov post i bet its the weights . running the engine without checking the weights will cost you a cam gear. i pull tractors and its happened 3 times in three years.

Thanks, I took it apart today, and found no weights on the govenor assembly, only one pin was there, no clips and the place where the pins go one side was totally broken off, the other side cracked, i also found many teeth missing from the timing gear. I"d bet the weights had alot to do with that huh. Since you"ve had to replace the same parts(seems like) where did you get them from???? guess I"d better start lookin for some parts. ENGINE # 17-77543-M

Thanks for the info. I have to wait till the weather is nicer so I can tear it all apart. I have no garage and the wind and cold are bad. I believe my cam does not use the bolt on gear. Upon making calls today One guy told me about a person "BARNEY TAYLER" who could possibly have the complete govenor assembly with weights and maybe even the right cam timing gear. Does anyone know of BARNEY TAYLER? and how to get ahold of him? Someone else said the same govenor assembly fits a WD45 and d17 is that right?

Sounds like a pin came out of one of the governor weights. Had that happen to me a couple of times on a D17. You might want to check into that right away. Rick

I have had similar poblems with my D Grader but it does not seem as severe as your's. I was able to improve on the problem by puting a slight bend in the linkage between the carb and the govenor arm. I agree that you should take the front cover off your govenor and check the weights. If a weight breaks free it can get into the timing gears and cause real damage.

By springs I meant the ones in the governor, which could affect this issue.


Kentb of SWMO said: (quoted from post at 15:42:12 02/16/08) NOT a spring issue. The spring is whatopens the carb. You have something wrong with the weights in the govener housing. Time to open up the front of the engine which would be at the rear on you blade.

Thanks I will take it apart tomorrow and ck out the springs. I guess this would also cause it to run slow at times no matter how much you increase the throttle. I thought it was the carb getting plugged or bad gas.

Doubt it is an issue with the carb. It sounds like the spring or the weights in the governor are the issue.
