Most likely some ice has formed in the linkage that loosens up when the engine warms up.
Cover the radiator and try putting a tarp or some covering on the side of the engine to thoroughly warm the governor and evaporate the moisture in the engine.
If you haven't changed oil for a while, that may help some also.
Check for water in the oil pan by carefully removing the drain plug before starting the tractor next time and see if you get oil, water, or nothing which means ice has formed (or you have run out of oil!).
You could also put a heat lamp on the governor before starting and see if that loosens things up.
Keep us posted!
