Default governor issue

I'm having an issue with the governor. This is the first time the cub has run in10 years. I rebuilt carb and replaced points, condenser and cool. it started today and the governor was hunting. I adjusted timing and restated the engine. Now I'm not sure if was the very next restart or a couple restarts later but the engine was running full rpm . The their was only half open. I did notice that the stop pin was loose. It is a philips head screw right above the crossshaft. I ran out of time so I didn't check anything. Anyone have some insight? Could the screw being loose do this or is it the gear inside? It is a12 horse engin in a 100. Thanks
