I have recently acquired a D6 9U Serial #9U27640. When I push the fuel control all the way to "off" the main engine continues to run. Obviously, I am not completely shutting off the fuel supply. I have been told that the linkage is the first place to start looking. Any other suggestions?

Hi, Ron A.
Dependzic is right in what he says but it may be worth simply grabbing hold of the control lever on the side of the governor and trying to push/pull it further toward the stop position. If it is slack in the linkage, you may well be able to move that lever far enough to shut it off even without disconnecting it.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

most likely the little pin on the linkage inside the govenor has fallen out. i have four D6 9Us, it has happened twice in ten years. simple fix with good glasses and needle nose pilers and a pen magnet.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
