Perkins diesel engine 4108

[geno]

My engine has been misbehaving1 It runs very well for two or
three hours, shows no sign of distress, but when you cut the
throtttle back quickly the engine stops. To start it again the
throttle has to be wide open. I have checked the whole system for
air leaks, put on new filters and so on. The only thing that it
might be is a maladjusted "anti-stall" screw on top of the
governor. Has anyone had this sort of problem, and if so what is
the solution?

Check to see that the kill switch is working properly. Make sure that the lever on the engine is moving through it's entire range of motion.
