Bend the tab I circled in this picture. Don't bend it too far, start with a little bit at first and then test it. Bend more in increments until the engine gets to 3000 RPM when the lever is at full throttle. Don't bend it past perpendicular with the governor arm.
One thing I would suggest is that you try to clean some of that stuff off the carb. You might have something physically preventing movement of the throttle linkage. Besides that much stuff on an open carb is an invite to sucking crap into the carb and then you have a whole nother issue. Hopefully you will get it fixed with the suggestion to bend the tab.

Thanks for the suggestions i will try bending the tab and cleaning the junk of the carb. I haven't got the chance since its been storming so i have took the time to finish are bathroom remodel. Once i take care of this i will get back on whether or not it works. Also i was wondering what does bending the tab do? More tension? Cause it is mind boggling to me that the throttle will open and close just find with the motor off but as soon as i start it up i cant freely change the engine speed.

Thats why I asked about the Governor settings.. the governor comes INTO EFFECT ONLY when the engine is running.. thats when the internal counterweights spin .....try the spring ... just maybe...!!
