For the record. A governor does not "kick in". It is always "engaged". It does not take any certain RPM to make it work. The governors job is to maintain the engine speed that the operator commands. So, whatever position you set the throttle to on the dash, the governor maintains that speed. ALWAYS. The carburetor's throttle plate should never be open all the way, unless the engine is under EXTREME load, and the governor is trying to maintain the RPM that is being called for.
