Anyone ever have their MPH gauge read 27/28 even when you're idling? It was fine when I left the ramp this a.m., but on my last run this afternoon it read 28 the entire time and even when loading up. I just got done flushing the engine and it's down to 24 so I'm not as fast when I'm flushing...
Anyone have any ideas where to start? Thanks in advance!

What JT said.... Did you hit a stick or log? I've had the same thing happen... take a piece of wire and clean out the pickup hole..
