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.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
