I checked the air intake, filter. Cleaned squeeky clean.
Drained the fuel tank, carb bowl, cleaned the sediment bowl and screen. Checked the fuel line to carburetor.
Put all that back together and checked the fuel flow at the carb. Plenty of fuel runs out.
I then took off the air breather piece above the governor and found that when the throttle is advanced, the shaft doesn't pop up and move the carburetor linkage.
To make things short (er?), I pulled the carb off and checked it, it seems ok, the butterfly moves smoothly and easily, remounted and adjusted a little and now that rod pops up like it should.
However, I am back at square one. I filled with fresh gas that I picked up today and although the governor advances and the throttle advances, I still have no power under load.
If I pull the throttle back, the engine revs up to speed but it is painfully slow.
Then as soon as a load is put on, it slows down to nothing and will die.
I am not sure which direction to turn now, as I think I have ruled out the fuel supply, the air filter, intake, and the governor.
Not sure where to go from here.
Also while fooling with it so much, now my throttle doesn't hold and is all sloppy. I notice it has a spring under the cover, should I replace that?

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
