B&S 550ex won't rev up

Norm, I had it running after adjusting the govener plate, but changed it slightly and lost the revs.......
So I put a remote fuel tank so I could get at govener spring and lever clearly, but couldn't get it running properly.
And AVB the throttle runs free, and the govener positions seem similar in both machines.
I juggled the govener lever and it didn't change revs..
I'd like to know how the govener works. You put up early the different springs available, maybe I stretched my spring....
I don't think the carb is the problem as how many times can you clean it.....
I'll start it today and have a play.
thanks
speedy
