    It’s the spring that controls the governer. The spring needs to be tighter. V I P E R

    Make sure the air filter is clean and not acting as a choke drawing in excessive gas/ make sure the engine is tuned (properly adjusted air jets and slow Idle nut. make sure no grass and junk is binding the linkage to the governor arm / and make sure the spring on the governor is not sloppy loose.
