[AT] OT- Troy-Bilt Horse

Sorry Bill, but I believe I mis-spoke. I don't believe it's the governor
linkage, I believe it's the throttle linkage, moving the throttle lever
does not increase the RPM's at all, it stays at idle.  Manually moving
the throttle tab on the carb itself will make it rev up.

Regards,
