Ok guys, Had to pull a trailer for my friend the other day. He wrecked a ford psd that was attempting to pull a horse to get AI'd... not that it would pull it any way #ad
Friend and horse were fine. When I unhooked from the trailer, I got on it fooling around.
Lost all resistance in the pedal and immediately knew that the linkage had broke. Parts stores were closed, so I took the linkage up to the shop and tack welded it back together. It broke at the threads, however, was welded back to almost exactly the original position. It was a quick fix and got me home, but now I have to pop the throttle to get it started or else she'll just spin. Idle is about the same and no play in the linkage. I haven't had a chance to get a new linkage kit yet (wasn't really planning on it... the weld will hold fine). My goveror has been adjusted to allow 2800rpm (still stock springs). Any ideas?

This is a follow up to the question above.

I just went over and met cumminsgetme. I looked at his linkage and noticed that it was on backwards. We both agreed that it didn't matter, but we decided to swap it around anyways.

Can you believe his truck starts right up? I can't explain why, but it fixed the problem.

I hope this will help someone in the future.

Can anybody explain this? I obviously wasn't paying attention when I pulled it off, however concluded..... "heck, it doesn't matter". Well, apparently it does! But why? Thanks for any replies.

I don't know for sure, but I'll bet it gets in a bind and the governor can't open the throttle to start it.
