Sure  enough, the fan bearing has walked upward and is holding the throttle  
cross shaft open.  Removed the air cleaner, pounded it back down with  a 
rubber mallet, reinstalled the air cleaner - and off we go.  Ten to  fifteen 
mile later, same thing - Oh, this is going to be a LONG  trip!  This time, I 
left the cross pieces in place (a 140) and parked  the air cleaner on top of 
the spare.  I reached the fan pulley with  the end of the mallet handle and 
bonked the bearing down again.   After that, I kept the speed under 60 and 
only had that happen one more  time.
