SMTA Governor

First of all thanks to everyone for all the "won't turn over" responses. It's running fine now. On to the next task.
It seems the rpm is low at full throttle (fast idle), no load. Reviewed the manual and there is some great info there on setting rpms. Question is to get some sort of tach hooked up.
I have my old dwell tach meter from the early 60's. No manf tag on it but it does have two function switches, one for 6-8 cyls, the other for "tach-dwell". Note on gauge face that "4 cyl engines-double 8 cyl readings" It has two alligator clip leads, a red and a black. It's been so long since I used this that I have forgotten where to attach them. Assume in some combination on the dist.
As I said in earlier post with engine at fast idle, I screwed the idle stop screw on the carb further in I gained a ton of rpm (no load) but with that setting when I retarded the throttle the rpm just stayed up there and wouldn't come down until I backed the screw back out. All the likages and throttle plate are fine. When I drive it around the govenor is working, But with no load it's just adding a tiny bit of throttle on the hills.
Need to get this old girl hooked up to the mower, looks like we'll get our first cut of alfalfa in about 10 days.
