Heck yeah Tim, watching that video, it looks and sounds exactly like the governor is getting bumped. Something simple like adjustment even. I mean, it's running GOOD.
Hey, KKK sent me an article over a year ago about some tests done on piston ring gap alignment. While we always offset them, and have for longer than we've been alive, the reality is that during an engine's life span, those rings will be in alignment often, for a few strokes, until they separate. Cummins iirc did a test on compression (diesel) with rings aligned, then out, and found very little difference. Just an aside here on that.

Here is where I have gotten to so far everything seems to be where it's supposed to be

When i broke it down i took the spark plug, cam, crank, valves, lifters out, Cleaned the inside down (wiped with greaser) then put everything back. On the outside i took everything off to clean the engine, carb, throttle linkage and all tins. Didnt mess with the Gov at all. I dont think it would cause any issues but would spring placement from gov arm to throttle control cause that?
I make no bones about not working on OHV's. If that was a Tecumseh, and I heard that sound, governor springs are exactly where I'd be looking. When it's jumping like that, I bet if you look at your gov it's going to be jumping too. Something in that gov system is bumping the throttle arm. Maybe get a good photo of that, and one of the OHV guys can tell you what they thing. Too little spring tension maybe allowing the arm to go free. I dunno. That's my guess.
