what is the correct way of adjusting the govenor? linkage is tight from throttle lever to the govenor, but at full throttle i can feel the govenor trying to pull the lever back to slow position. throttle lever has nothing till you get the lever half way down then the motor starts to accelerate. any ideas where to start timing is correct. have ordered a new carb. thanks in advance

That is not uncommon.
Remove the link from the governor arm (behind gov.) Put the throttle hand lever wide open.
with your hand, pull the governor lever to its full open position (internal stop). Now see where the linkage is related to this position.
The lonkage needs to be short enough to pull this lever to that full open position. If it does with the pin in it it is as good as it can be. If the throttle lever is going back toward idle on its own, it needs to be tightened (if a friction disk type) or have some filing and possible weldup of the teeth/notch/pawl if a ratchet type. JimN
