I posted this on the Case forum as well.....
My 580 has a throttle control issue with the simple sliderbar bolted to the right side of the engine block. Wondering if you have one and can look or perhaps you know......
The throttle/gov control on the gas engine has a slider bar that connects to the rod assembly and uses two springs to control the throttle response. One of the springs is actually inside of the other and this allow both forward and backwards tension for throttle response....simple enough. The limit of the movement of the rod assembly is a mystery to me however........The slider bar is shown in the CASE parts reference as G45792 as having a small tab on the forward (towards fan) end I think to run up against the spring control and limit its movement. Mine doe NOT have the shown tab and I thought it was a spot weld that had separated causing the tab to fall away. I checked with a man who has the same part and he says his also doe NOT have the tab even though his reference material shows the slider bar having the tab as well.....
This piece is the 5 1/2 inch long by 7/8ths inch tall metal slider bar that is adjusted by the two bolts affixing it to the block... it either does or does not have a short metal tab on the front bottom edge......does yours have the tab? More importantly, I can not see how the slide adjustment works without it as the assembly has no way to limit movement without it unless I am missing something.. I can send you a photo if needed. Sure would appreciate a hand with this mystery.....sras3142 at sbcglobal dot net ... thanks
