Default 149 lost it's oomph!

Sorry about this one guys but I took some bad advice and now im in a pickle. I tried adjusting the throttle linkages on my 149 for a smoother response. Seemed like it didn't really react from low throttle untill I hit about mid throttle. I took everything apart and tried adjusting springs and nothing seemed to work. Then I think I made the mistake, I loosened the governor arm on the pin that it rides on. I thought it was just a swivel pin but I guess it isn't. There is nothing in the service manual or owners manual to tell me how to set this back up. The tractor is now running fine but I can tell it isnt quite as fast or powerful as it was. I set all the other linkages and springs where they were. Any ides? Thanks, Mark
