did and I have blown the head gasket. Question is: When I get it restarted what to do about the full throttle. Why does it do that after a long period of none use?
Anyway, can anyone please advise me how to fix this phenomenon?

The engine does have a govenor on it, but if nobody has set the high idle it will run away if you have a problem in the fuel system witch includes the govenor. For example if your engines rpm are supposed to be 2400 rpm at full throttle then your high idle should be set at 2640 rpm. It should always be 10% above the rated rpm. I would take the throttle cable off of the throttle and crank the engine. See if the problem persist. Rev the engine by hand and come back to idle, if this works properly than your problem is in your controls. A fuel leak will not cause a engine to over rev and blow a head gasket. You may want to take out the injectors and spin the engine over to make sure there isn't any build up of fuel and or water on the cylinders. If you have fluid on the cylinder when you try to crank the weakest point is your head gasket. Hope the info helped goo luck
P.S. I would install a safety shut off on the engine to prevent any future mishaps.

There are 2 idea as i don't get your question in full? A diesel has a Governor so over Rpm is not your problem.you maybe running at full throttle an over heating.A diesel can turn max rpm an not be full throttle so make sure you are proped to rpm. Sound like you have a fuel leak an when you start it. it runs away?Using starting fluid?.Some kind of gas or high octane fumes making it run away.
