Well, then keep turning the screw until it makes a difference. If it's out all the way and you still can't get more speed, your missing something obvious.
Dash throttle can't be maxed out if the cable is still pulling the governor arm to the stop. I meant, is the dash throttle maxed out, as in it can't pull the cable any farther because it's not adjusted right..... not are you running it all the way to the top. I want to know if you ran out of travel on the actual lever and it's limiting the speed.
Missed that.
What about spring position? Did you check to see that the spring was in the starting position holes?

Haven't forgotten about this thread/project John, just haven't made it to the Cub again to mess with it, hopefully this weekend. That being said...
The pic below I stole from online to use as a reference. The screw/bolt/adjustment pointed out is what I'm adjusting at this point. I had just been taking it easy as I didn't want to go from 3400rpm to 4000rpm as I wasn't sure of it's relative sensitivity.
As far as the dash throttle, it is not running out of travel and limiting things, this much I'm sure of. I've done dozens of other dash lever hookups/adjustments/etc and this hasn't been an issue before.
Lastly, the spring position: the pic below is an actual pic of my setup taken a week or so ago. I have tried the spring position in both hole 2 and 3. I'll explain that a bit. The pics below...below
are of the Kohler CH manual I've been referencing. It's not a Cub specific manual so it gives lots of options. The first pic is of the arm and it's possible hole configurations. The last pic is of the chart that tells what each hole's specific setting is based off of what kind of spring you have, etc. I'm sure I don't need to explain the pics as I have as I'm sure you've seem them a time or two more than I have
Just listing and posting them so you see what material I've been referencing.
