The issue is not critical. The full load speed of the engine is the point at which the engine is making its rated HP and it is usuallu about 80% or so of full throttle no load. This means that at no load with the throttle wide open (hurts nothing) the engine will turn about 20% faster than rated PTO speed. I know of no reason to worry about it. the slight overspeed will not harm any equipment. If it is a light load, and throttling down is needed to conserve fuel, that 80% might be close. It is not a good idea to lug an engine below about 75% of max idle. this produces less actual HP, and overloads bearings and drive train. JimN
