I understand how it works it keeps the engine from running away/ very high rpm(if something goes wrong with governor shaft etc the engine runs wide open), when the engine speed decreases (not by throttle) the flyweights move causing the linkages/spring that is connected to throttle to regulate engine speed . It's hard to explain hearing the governor working describing when etc.. engage or kicking in I reckon are pretty good slang terms for describing the governor, but way off on how it actually works.
