Briggs and Stratton engine idols to high

[Chromedude]

I have a 6.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton Intek platinum motor from a pressure washer. It ran fine as a pressure washer. When I put it on a 1967 Sears drover. my problem is the engine start fine on choke but when I take it off of Choke the engine revs extremely high. I do not know how to adjust that. Any help would be grateful. Thank you

Does it have separate throttle and choke controls? A lot of those machines have them tied together, or no throttle control at all because they're meant to run at a fixed speed.

Otherwise, something is probably messed up in your throttle linkage or your idle speed screw is cranked way in.

Is it meant to be on a pressure washer next???
Does it have a tapered crank shaft???

If so... its going to be difficult to get another crank.. or at least itll be work to change over to a proper straight shaft for to use in a kart or the like...
Might aswell as get another predator, slap on and go...
