jack is correct/ when one of the mini petters run away/ time stands still for about one second then the fear sets in/you do not know where to run or try to shut it down/ if you run ,it my blow apart and catch up with you/so there is no safe place around a run away diesel/before i start one I all ways crank it over with the fuel rack in the off position and listen for the squeak/ if you hear it in the off position, you know not to start that little sucker/ I also check the linkage and make sure it moves freely. I also keep the air cleaner loose enough to pull off/ I have had to stuff a towel in the intake two times to stop one..I also had a 5 hp witte gas run away when the detent latch broke/ that could have been a huge problem except it was belted to grits mill and it could not speed up too fast tuning a 20 inch granite stone in the mill/remember //think twice and start once.sid
