Another runaway

Fastruck,
I've had the same problem with the hand throttle on my M813. If I try to bring the speed up a little, it will slowly climb way up to wide open. PITA.
SCSG-G4,
Are the rings typically that loose, or would that only happen in a really worn engine?

I was trying to use the hand throttle the first time it happened and it happened exactly as you described. However, the next time, I had not touched the hand throttle. Could that still be the cause? If so, what is the cure?

Sorry to hear that man. I'm working with Roda Deaco, trying to adapt one of their throttle cutoffs to Mah Deuce engine. I was planning on starting a thread when we got into it.

Ancient thread, I acknowledge, but...did you ever get anywhere with RD about a throttle cut-off?

Mine had nothing to do with the hand throttle. It just happened to happen as I was trying to use the hand throttle. My problem had to do with the injection pump and the "private" that installed it incorrectly. I don't think it would be applicable to the multi-fuel engine.
