yea, I took the gee wiz a little personal so all cool now.
I agree, something doesn't seem right. This is what happens when something should be easy but just isn't...
So I have been reading and searching and here is what I have found - hold throttle blade wide open, loosen gov arm screw, rotate shaft fully counterclockwise then tighten screw.
I don't think I can fully nail down the governor adjustment until I tackle this rich running issue though. The whole time I have been thinking the engine won't rev due to some magical go kart factor. I now think it won't rev because of its running rich. This hit me while manually working the throttle with the governor amr removed. Besides being close to the muffler and smelling it, the fact that the air filter being removed wasn't causing the engine to run lean tells me the carburetor is very rich. The fact that holding the carb wide open with the wheels off the ground and this motor isn't revving super high much less trying to run away says something as well.
If I can catch a break in the rain I'll see what I can come up with today.
