Then I get one day off again before I go to 6 days a week for the next 2 months. I’m too old for this crap!!! I’m supposed to be retired? I only work part time! If you guys don’t hear from me for a while I either died or found that pitcher and fell in and drowned.

RPM or centrifugal force generated by the weights in the governor close the throttle. Vacuum does zero.
Thats how my stock 420 carb acts with the gov fully removed.

I assumed they all did this to stop an unwanted WOT situation. Must be something wrong with mine.

Your 420 might be different, but I do not think vacuum is used on this linkage.
Oh yea right, I didnt mean to say vacuum has any effect on the actual linkage. Just that there is a negative pressure effecting the valve. I was trying to get him to associate the position of the valve in reference to the engine running or not. I dont always use the correct combination of words.
