Thanks for the replies everyone.
Well it looks like the problem was the bolt on the lever that you take off
to remove the cylinder head, for some reason it was tight, once slackened
off the govenor works fine.
Think we'll put that one down to operator error, me !!!.

Hi Trevor, my best advice of the cam follower lever is to tighten it to where it won't move, then back off just a half a smidge like a couple degrees... just enough to let it move freely but not enough to flop around. Then put a drop of synthetic oil on it's pivot point if you haven't already.
