I sell a lot of trenchers I find at auction. I currently have two 3700DDs with a common problem. I've seen this on other Deutz diesel powered Ditch Witch trenchers.
When I move the hand throttle to Faster, there may be no response for a minute or more. This is a rod control, so it's not a cable problem [see pic].
Strangely, at times, I can operate the lever to raise the trencher boom and the extra load on the engine gets the throttle to start responding.
