The governor will not work with an aftermarket carb.
If you want to keep the governor, then get somebody to build you a Bored out Stock Appearing Carb.

No pump needed with stock tank in stock location.

Call Jody at ARC Racing or Russel at NR Racing.
Tell them what you want to do and see what carb will work best.

0.615" is stock.
I've seen 0.625" to 0.685" or 0.690" available to buy off the shelf, but don't know what will work best. Those might be for WOT throttle racing and not perform great with lots of stop and go. The larger ones say marginal low end and idle quality loss.

Some bored out S/A carbs have the choke removed, so consider starting the engine when looking at carbs as well.

Stock carb or this one below might be best options.

If you are really slick, you might be able to rig up a gx390 carb to work with the governor on a clone/Predator/Gx200, but since the butterfly opens in opposite directions - it would take some fabrication with the linkages to make governor push instead of pull or vice versa.

But the gx390 carb on gasoline used an a 196cc - 212cc isn't really the best option for part throttle or low RPMs.
