Step back and look before you break it.
Most likely another fastener. If you beat on it or use knives with force you will find out why AFTER IT'S WARPED OR BROKEN.
If you see any bolt heads in the deep holes they need to come out also.

Check this out:

Ok here is where I'm at!
No change!
Opened engine and Governor is fine everything inside good so new gasket fixed small leak so I'm in better shape there!
I had a new carb and put it on adjusted governor and no change engine racing so I'm still stumped or doing something wrong all linkages the same!
Engine fires right up but no control of throttle!
I can only choke to get it to slow down but that's not going to work!
I have not found a video on tuning one of these engines unless I'm missing something!

Have you actually looked at the carburetor throttle plate? I have seen them come off and get trapped in the intake port before. That is all that is left.

Plate is fine
Could it Be sucking air someplace??
Would that cause it to run WOT?

Is the governor link hooked to the throttle? An engine cannot run wide open with a closed throttle. Are you sure the governor adjustment is correct?
