Kohler CV16S Govenor issues

I was given a Yardman 42" mower with a Kohler CV16S, the guy told me he replaced the o-ring on the governor shaft and now it revs wide open if I put it in full throttle. Like wide open it will blow up, when I return the throttle to idle it idle's no problem. When I start the deck the rpms drop and when I disengage it it returns to screaming again like the governor isn't doing anything. Any ideas? Thanks

Go through the governor section of this manual, adjusting the governor may help. https://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Ko...13-CV14-CV15-CV16-CV460-CV465-CV490-CV495.pdf

I've tried doing that and it didn't change anything.
