Geez, scary, you either had the idle screw in too much and it ran away or it has a vacuum leak somewhere.
It must have really gotten hot to sustain running like that with all the stuff you disconnected. Let's hope it survived, may want to ck the compression. First reach down at the PTO flywheel and see if you can turn it by hand, it may have locked up.
You didn't have the hose cooling it, so how long did you take doing this idle adjustment process? I'm asking for my own reference.. I know any longer than about 30 seconds or so off the hose or out the water it can get pretty hot.
You can try to disconnect the rectifier/regulator and then see if it still blows a fuse when you connect the battery.I just checked and motor is still even and good on compression. Now the fuse in the rear fuse box keeps blowing once I hook up the negative on the battery. I was able to check compression by placing a screwdriver across the relay terminals. But now the fuse blows. What the heck could it be now

If you haven't downloaded the manual yet, now is a good time. It has the electrical test procedures in it.
So the gauge turns on
When you put the lanyard on the DESS post or when you just press the start button?
I’m going to go out and get a replacement beeper. I’m getting nothing still after checking the beeper connections. Just the gauges work but still no start.
