Thanks ProXu1Victa. The current springs are in pretty good shape. My confusion is that all the springs pull the governor are towards the carb (full throttle position). There are no springs pulling it back away from the carb. I'm looking at specs on line, but can't see anything meant to pull it away.
I know I'm not describing this well. I found a video on Youtube where a person is having the exact same problem.
Honda governor arm not a great video, but hopefully helps.
Thanks again, truly appreciate any feedback.
