IDK. Does the governor move at all in response to load?

No, not seeing any movement. AND the kicker is that IIRC the throttle should go to wide open when the engine is stopped. It does not. Just stays against the minimum stop.

Does the governor move with the throttle? If you move one does the other
move with it?

I got a chipper from my father that never seemed to rev up right. It
turned out the governor-throttle connecting rod was in the wrong hole in
the throttle, so it did not move correctly. I re-positioned it, and the
thing worked great.
