M35A2 no throttle

[Kaleb7]

I have a 1971 M35A2 with the Whites LTD 465. I just changed the hydraulic head orings and adjusted my fuel 1 flat on the bolt. Now once I got it started back up I have zero throttle. It will start and run just don’t have any throttle at all.

Did you make sure all the linkage inside the HH mated up correctly when reassembling? If something got out of alignment during assembly, you will lose control of the throttle. At least it didn't go to wide open when you cranked it up.

Just for CLARITY.....

A WIDE OPEN condition could result in CATASTOPHIC FAILURE through a runaway condition typically resulting in an EXPLODING ENGINE BLOCK as a result of a THROWN PISTON/PISTON ROD ASSEMBLY through the side of the BLOCK.

PLEASE read the associated threads on HH Rebuilds and how to be prepared to safely SHUT DOWN a runaway (wide-open throttled) engine!!!!!

You need to make sure the "plunger sleeve pin" is fitting in the "plunger sleeve slot" . See the attached picture.
