JD 720 runs rough

I have a John Deere 720 Gas thats idles perfect, but when you push the throttle ahead or drive up the hill it sputters alot but if you pull the choke out halfway it runs perfect. I'm not sure if its the float in the carburetor thats adjusted wrong or what? Also pushing the throttle clear forward will make the engine run way too fast. I noticed a bolt on the throttle lever underneath the hoods that can hold that back some of the way but I don't think it is enough, Is there an adjustment on the governor to make? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Sumo

The pony on my 70D did that until I took the carb completely apart and cleaned everything. Run wire or whatever through all the holes and blow out w/ compressed air. Then it worked great something must have gummed up because you should see the tiny holes for that. I used torch cutting tip cleaning tool. It has all the little rods and little grooves and works great. I would try that first see if it is better and there usually are 2 adj. bolts for setting the idle and full speed in the dash? That's how it is on mine.
