I think I found my problem. The governor is broken internally.

I have a B&S Model 121S07 0065-F1 on a Snapper mower. I cannot get it to idle lower that 2500 rpm. I checked the governor setup and that was correct. The idle screw is all the way out. I did notice that the bracket is slightly bent - see photo.
