I don't know much about A governors, but I know that increasing the throttle puts more tension on the spring. So, when you move the lever 6-10 teeth ahead to get the speed to increase, there is an awful lot of tension being put on the spring which leads me to think that you have some binding, rubbing, or sticking somewhere. My Cub behaved the exact same way, but after I pulled the governor and soaked it in kerosene, replaced my spring, and went through every linkage and every possible binding point, the tractor ran like brand new.

When the engine is off, you're supposed to get some play in the linkages--the flyweights aren't active anymore so there is no force resisting the spring. In fact, a way to check that the governor is working is to make sure the throttle snaps to full open when the engine shuts down.
