I have a 1953 that I am just beginning to pull down and clean and it does the same thing. I have not tried to operate the throttle since I began pulling pieces off of it to see if the scraping and cleaning I've done has changed anything but initially after I got it running I could advance the throttle, running or not running, about 2/3 way to the high end and the lever would find substantial resistance and not go all the way to the end of the lever's travel. When it was running I could go as far as I could with the lever and put along and then I could force it to the next tooth, get a higher RPM, and it would "pop" back to the tooth I had it in before. I did not put a tach on it to see if the "comfortable" position was 1800 RPM or not. The situation raised a red flag to me to the extent that when I get around to the govenor I have made a mental to look it over real good to see what the problem could be. My teeth and lever are in good "sharp" condition.
