So, the engine speed is preset at the factory. the tube at the rear of the carby that connects to engine block is the governor.

Hello Nolan
I think you've got the theory right (for my modest understanding).
But the rear tube would be for the decompressor, the front tube for the governor.

You can adjust the idle speed I'm told with these carbys
Yes. A later addition of the carby gave an idle speed adjuster.
I might add, also, the governor springs changed to accommodate differing
top speed requirements.

It's a clever carby, but not a particular efficient one. I guess.
