My 3.5 hp lawnmower has a link which controls the inlet opening to the carb. This link as a spring link to the speed feedback and the throttle lever feedback but there is no connection to the throttle. See the pic attached. Not sure how to attach the link so as to be able to control the throttle.

I assume you have a sprint engine but because I don't know it is hard to give you proper detailed instructions
There is also quite a few different ways they were set up
So we need the model, code & serial numbers which are stamped into the blower housing directly above the spark plug

Looks like the plate with the code/serial is missing. All it says is 3.5 hp classic

Numbers are either stamped into the shroud above the spark plug or on metal shield over muffler.

Shrink the pic and repost here. Google how to shrink if you have to.

The wire goes from the governor ( white plastic tab ) to the carburettor ( black plastic triangle )
The spring goes from the throttle control to the loop in the wire as per figure 52 in the PDF linked below
