125 accelerates on its own
 

Hello,

My cub 125 automatically "accelerates" on its own when I put it in forward position. When I move the lever just slightly forward from neutral it doesn't do it. It's when I have it in about mid-range. It will go several seconds at the appropriate speed, then suddenly it just takes off like a rocket! When I'm mowing, I have to almost keep the brake pedal pushed halfway in to "maintain" my speed.

Is this something I can adjust or does it mean something is needing replaced?

Thanks,

Ben

The friction nut needs tightened. It's located under the dash on the hydro linkage. The chassis manual tells you how to adjust it if your not sure. You can download the manual from the tech section if you don't have one. :beerchug:

Thank you, both. This information helps.
