try ajusting the idol screw to ajust the pace of the speed it revs at if im right the more you screw it in the higher it revs and if you unscrew it it turns it down put it on a ramp so wheels are above level then play about with the idol screw in or owt

Do you have your throttle cable (and a return spring) connected directly to the carb now?

no i do not have throttle pedal or cable and i have no return spring (only thing connected to the carb is the governor arm)

sounds like its Idling too fast because you need to hook up up a small spring that will pull your carbs little throttle arm (the bell-crank) back to the idle position. The governor linkage you removed probably had a spring somewhere that served this function, so now you'll just need to install a return spring right at the carb.

engines with governors do not have a return spring the force of the weights in the governor make it return to idle the gov only has one spring connecting the gov arm to the throttle cable or lever

you don't want a idle return spring on an engine with a gov it won't work right you probably just need to loosen the gov spring
