Haha sorry guys I can see how this could be confusing. The linkages at the governor were not set up properly and that was causing the stiff throttle. That has been resolved now. I'm sure all I'll need now is to tighten 24.
I tightened down 24 all the way and there was still too much spring return to hold it. I removed two springs under the console, most likely 38 and 58 and it works like a dream now
