Roebuck. That tab that you have the pliers on is not the governor adjustment. That is connected to the anti surge spring. Bending that tab that you have pictured is to stop initial high surging when you start the engine. And sometimes as mentioned by vccomm, it can be used to lower the engine idle.
I would like to make it clear that the way to adjust the engine rpm's is with the tab that the governor spring is connected to. Not the anti surge. If you go back to the picture I posted I have circled it in red. I would try this first Blumbly and put the spring back in its proper place.
I think that the help that everyone is giving great, that's why I enjoy this forum, because people are very generous here, but I just want to make it clear the proper way. Because this is usually a very simple problem to fix.
Thank you.
