Who knows about 5.5 hp governor Honda power??

• Ok, guys this is FAR from a Mopar question but honestly some of the best advice given is on here and I know some of you gearheads own these. So here it goes, I'm working on a 5.5 Honda GX160 Honda motor that it's idle is controlled by a governor. It powers a " made in USA Emglo air compressor I believe it to be a decent quality unit. Oddly enough it was included in the purchase of my house five years ago that was used to build my house but the previous owner had no plans on using. I thought maybe one day I would but honestly its been five years so it's time to go. The PO told me it had carb issues so I rebuilt it about 4 years ago but never fired it up or even put fuel in it. So last week I fuel it up and she starts on the second pull but revs high and blows out a copper air line at the compression fitting. So I replace the air line and try again. Once again she starts first pull this time but the idle is screaming and I can't get it down. A few attempts more, a little interweb research etc. But same issue. I play around a bit today and discover that if I remove a spring off the governor arm it seems to work and run ok but there is clearly a spot on the arm for a spring. Maybe I assembled something incorrectly 4 years ago i really cant remember or find photos which i usually take? I'll include some pictures and maybe someone can spot something I don't. Thanks as always for the help.
