Yup, that spring's gotta be the problem. Probably just popped out of the hole. Should be an easy fix. :smile:
The spring is not the problem it has not been moved and the throttle plate should be resting against it in the idle (low rpm) position but it does not. That is what I am having trouble figuring out now. As you can see in the picture it is resting mostly in the accelerated position but I can move the throttle plate lever by hand to the idle position but it will not stay by itself.

Weather you moved it or the gremlins moved it the spring is in the wrong place.
It is a damping spring and goes from the governor arm to the throttle plate arm on every governed engine ever made.
It actually works like a shock adsorber .
Now governed throttle functioning 101.
The governor closes down the throttle proportional to the speed the engine is RUNNING.
The faster the engine is going, the harder it closes down the throttle.
when the engine is STOPPED, it holds the throttle wide open, not closed down against the idle stop.
That only happens when the engine is running and you have moved the throttle control to it's lowest setting
The throttle control stretches a spring which pulls the governor lever open and the governor mechanism pulls the governor lever closed, WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
Like a little tug o war.
he who pulls hardest wins.
When you move the throttle control it changes the balance point between the two springs and thus the revs the governor will try to maintain.
People regularly set the governor up backwards thinking that the governor will open the throttle butterfly but it actually closes it.
So you loosen off the clamp on the governor shaft rotate it in the direction that will open the throttle fully till it stops, hold it in that position and clamp the governor shaft to it in the fully opened position.
Thus when the governor shaft starts to move it will close down the throttle as it should do.
