Re: Idle adjustment
Two adjustments exist.
1) There is an idle stop on the carburetor. (back side of the carb behind the intake)
2) Adjust the governor to carburetor rod length. This process is described in a How-To and in the manual.

The governor may never pull the rod far enough to hit the stop. Check by having the tractor at a low idle and pull the governor throttle rod forward (toward the front of the tractor). If the idle speed drops, then it wasn't sitting against the stop.
I'd probably guess that wear contributes greatly to this.

Re: Idle adjustment
There is some Pennington manuals at the Quick Links connection to the manuals ( top left corner of this page). Now that you have 2 posts you can access all the manuals listed there. Send me a PM if you can't find it. I have the info on my laptop. Stan
