Just for the hell of it, take a look at the intake tube (manifold) to be sure it isnt cracked.

Manifold and o-ring are good.

Did you check the timing/flywheel key?
Since the carb is new, what about the fuel line/filter? (if there's a filter)
Also check the gas cap condition.

Have you check to see if the governor is set properly?

From what I've read, that's done solely by spring tension and I have the engines revs in the ballpark.

Flywheel key is good
No fuel filter
Surges with the cap off

Governed top speed is set by RPM's, but the governor itself must be set mechanically. Please read this manual on how to set the governor, section five.

"Top No Load RPM is changed on these engines by
changing to governor spring. " pg 24

I'm not going to argue with you, but I will tell anyone else who reads this post that you must mechanically set the governor before setting the RPM's. Good luck, I'm out of here.

Didn't mean to offend you. I traced the actuating arm back to the engine and looked for set screws on the carb mounting plate, but found zilch. Many other engines do have adjustments, I just don't see one for my engine. Can you show me where it is?
