simple. .

the governor on a gas engine is not the same as auto pilot on a car, where the computer uses the speedometer to increase or decrease power to maintain a constant speed. .

Not really if you under stand how lawnmower engine works, the load isn’t enough to pull throttle wide open due its close to max governed speed.

If I take governor out my cart will accelerate going up all street grade in villages till the engine torqued out or it can’t take in any more air.
