Sure. *First thing is to take over complete control of the carb
throttle, and check that this works OK. *If the throttle behaves
normally, then you can even use that to rev the engine and observe
the governor operating against a spring when it senses increasing
RPM.

It starts reving immediate lfter started and is hard to start and then
run in front of the motor to watch the carb.

When I put the oil pan back on I had the engine laying down where the
oil pan was on top. I ensured the internal goener lever was touching
the cylinder then put the oil pan down before torquing the bolts.
However, I did not restrain anything.

What causes the internal governer arm to move? i know that plastic
govener gear attached to the camshaft, but not sure what actually
moves the arm?

What Jon is saying is to disconnect the governer from the carb so that
only you can control the throttle position. Then as you move the
throttle you can observe the governer arm, which is disconnected from
the carb, and see if it moves in the right direction, or indeed if it
moves at all. Be sure that the throttle is set for low speed operation
before trying to start the engine. This may mean the the butterfly
must be disconnected from both the throttle control and the governer.

Well. today I could manually rin the thing by hand. The problem is
when I rev the engine and then immediately pull the throttle into a
lower position, the throotle does not always come back to the low
speed position. I am assuming this means it is the govenor? If so I
guess I have to take it back apart. However, how do I ensure the
internal fork is making the correct contact with the gear?

I may be fightenign a losing battle. It ran but now it is smoking.
Something it did not do before. I have no idea why. COuld it be
becasue I re used the same pistion rings when I replaced the rod?
