You might be able to see it with a good flashlight. But, in order to replace any of the governor parts everything has to come out. They are the last parts to remove and the very first to go in.
It is possible that with the screw being that loose it let the gear move and the cross shaft couldn't control it. If you got it tightened up, you might try starting it, but be ready to shut it down fast it if goes out of control. The question is, was the gear in the right place for the stop screw to hold it when you tightened it?
