Folks

What its doing

As soon as I go to 1smph it takes off in either direction at uncontrolled (at least by me) speed.

After reset sound works fine. Smoke blower came on and I turned it off. Lights work. Bell and whistle work. Still goes at uncontrolled speed. Other Engines respond properly

 

What it is

Premier Berk, - fixed drawbar - PS2 - Been on shelf all year - old battery (I dont think I put a JW replacement in this engine)

What I have tried

Remote reset - TIU reset - Engine feature reset done

I have not opened it to look at anything. (I wont get parts before Christmas anyway)

 

Any thoughts? I suspect tach system, only because I know it exists and is used in speed control.

 If the tether was unplugged while it was on the shelf and then plugged back in. I had one that the pin on the engines socket was loose on the circuit board and had to be re soldered. It took off at a fast rate but mostly on corners where there was more strain on the tether. A delicate soldering job that requires a small tip and a steady hand. I believe it's not a uncommon problem on these older engines. 

 The tach reader or missing stripes on the flywheel will have the same symptom. I mentioned the tether because it seemed to run okay before it was stored.
