Engine stops when in neutral- any pointers for a DIY fix or service options around Lancashire?

Hi all, apologies for delay in response as real life took over.

Nevertheless, the above mentioned issue was identified and eventually resolved. It was a bit of a headache to try and figure this one out and was discovered by chance after randomly tightening and checking for any bits which might be loose.

What happened was that "Throttle Shaft" (no.7 from the diagram below) was rather loose and the holding screw required some tightening, as a result the "Governor Spring" (No.6) could gain more resistance and aid in allowing the fuel to reach the injector. Probably due to engine vibration this part became loose over the time, therefore the flow got disrupted.

Hope this helps anyone who might search on the forum for similar troubleshooting.

Below is a more detailed explanation with pictures in case this might be of interest.. or anyone encountering similar problems in future.

 

 

The circled nut below required some fastening

 

 

 

 

Due to not having enough tightness the circled bit was loose and the "Governor spring"couldnt actually do its job properly.
