G-MAN, you might want to take that question to the puller board. Those guys try to get the best & quickest response possible out of the governors.
~I personally don't build for speed but try for dependability. ~Things to look for are: that the R/H bearing hasn't been spinning in the case & worn the bearing bore [common],,,that the fan gears aren't worn to a thin sharp edge [common],,,that the weights aren't worn & loose or hitting the case [common,,,that the pins, pin bosses & weight holes aren't worn & allowing slop,,,that the gears aren't loose on the shaft,,,that the shaft isn't bent,,,that the fork & fork shaft aren't worn,,,that the gear teeth aren't worn to a sharp edge or worn more in one place than another [common with the unique 2-cylinder firing pulses],,,that the governor arm spring isn't rust pitted or worn therefore having less spring pressure.
~A lot of governor response is due to carb set-up & the carb must be right with proper linkage adjustment. I sometimes adjust the governor linkage rod 1 full hole short rather than 1/2 hole short. It seems to quicken the governor response but that might not be the case with a newly overhauled governor. Maybe 1 hole short just lets the governor work in a different [less worn] part of governor travel.....
