Evening all.
I am the owner of a new to me 2120. I bought it as an open station utility tractor to mow some grass, run a post driver, that sort of thing. Today was my first day using it, and I cannot seem to make it keep a constant rpm. It will normally idle quite nicely once it is warm, but as soon as I put the bush hog on it and ran it at PTO speed, it would randomly vary from less that 1500 rpm to over 2700 with no rhyme or reason to the variance. No change to the throttle position, no change to the load, or terrain or anything that could account for this huge swing in rpm. I fought with the throttle lever pretty much all day to try and keep it somewhere near 2200 (PTO speed), so very frustrated. I think I may be looking at an injector pump rebuild? Is there anything I can do to narrow the problem down and provide a more competent description to the repair shop? Are the injector pumps rebuildable? Thanks for your time and help with this.
