A suggestion. On your next visit, do a little reverse engenering on
the machines. A small sheet metal screw in the carb, a little battery
acid in the crank case, a ball bearing or two in the gear box.

You don't have to destroy the thing, just a little tinkering with the
governor might slow it down a bit and increase the margin of safety.
Might even be done by just bending the linkage wires between governor
and carb.
