I have been using a different method. I do not remove the govenor at all. What I do is put a spring that will hold the lever from kicking in. Kind of difficult to explain, I will take some pictures.
How long do you expect your engine to last? Have a look at
this post; that's what happens when a governor is revved beyond its limits, which, in turn,
will destroy your engine...
To remove a governor safely, the entire mechanism
must be removed...
bought a 212 for my son to play with we decided to remove the govenor. idles well now but sputters at mid to high rpm,
can someone suggest ways to correct this or do I need to visit HB again?
Thanks in advance

Dave has it mostly correct...
Tell me, before removing the governor, did you run the engine at max RPM or, indeed, at all?
Next question (which has already been asked), did you remove the entire mech or just the arm? If you removed the whole thing, warranty could be a problem...
Chances are, it's doing exactly what it should but, without further info, we simply don't know...
