Think I have it sorted. I put the original governor linkage back on and the only other thing I changed was the position of the "L" shaped piece where the knob on the end of the throttle cable attaches. I turned it upside down which moved the cable to the bottom of this piece instead of at the top changing the direction of momentum (if that makes sense). Still very touchy on the throttle but now I can get an even throttle response wherever I set it to. Thanks for the input guys, now the restoration starts.
