I think you mean the tab closest to the engine that has the small spring on it . Once you have the machine running at full throtal then move the the tab with the small spring using pointy nose plyers back or forth to adjust the tension on the govenor this inturn will give you less or more revs to which ever you need. Hope this is of some help cheers roebuck.
