FALSE!

When you have the throttle at the full position, you are NOT moving the maximum amount of air. This is proven by the fact that if you were, I say IF because I DON'T WANT YOU TO TRY IT!!!!, to pull on the govenor shaft by the carb you could race the motor's rpms higher that what was at. When the motor is a "full" throttle the govenor is adjusting itself to the rpms that the motor should be spinning at that setting. When you move the throttle lever back to "idle" then you decrease the spring tension on the govenor and therefore the necessary rmps are less to satisfy the govenor. Understand?

So what all this means is that when you have the throttle at "full" throttle and start to put a load on the motor, it will start to decrease rpm's. since these rpms have decreased the govenor will open the throttle plate in the carb until the motor spins fast enough to satisfy the govenor. When you stall a motor it is because you put more of a load on the motor than what the govenor could open the throttle for.

That is a long winded way of saying, NO the govenor regulates the FULL throttle position and the govenor can open the carb up more to allow more fuel to enter the cylinders.

Another way of looking at it is to call the govenor the "regulator" in your head, because that is what it does. It regulates the amount of gas/fuel into the motor.
