How much movement do you have in your
governor shaft and the throttle shaft. A
little bit of movement in both can add up
to a lot of slop in something that needs to
stay put. When you go to high throttle,
do you have any resistance on your throttle
or governor linkage? Also, you might try
to post your questions on the Oliver forum.
Looks like there are several guys on there
with Super 55 questions.

Screws may be loose in the throttle shaft allowing the plate to open by itself.

Give me a little bit of time,I'll try to copy a page out of the manual. Otherwise I'll walk you through it without pictures.

OK,this is out of the 1550-1600-1650 manual,but the adjustments and process should be the same. Let me know if it works for you.

James, Had that happen to my 77 a while ago, it had the 55 type governor and the governor came apart, the weight assembly came loose from the shaft. Chuck
