...The input valve is free, it is a Hit & Miss, even if I don't see the governor...
The presence of a vacuumcontrolled inlet valve does not make it a hit & miss engine, it would need something to actively make it miss as well.

As far as i can tell from the pics on the website, there´s absolutely nothing holding back the vacuum from forming, and thereby nothing closing off fuel and make sparks miss lighting a combustionstroke.
This one will just run all out, on whatever fuelmixture it is set for.
