If you allready checked the mag and you say it is indeed dry I would then have to agree with the gentleman below. It's likely a restricted airflow from carb to air cleaner (water in air cleaner). Easiest check would be to pull the hose off the carb that runs to the air cleaner and then fire the engine. If the symptom disapears the problem is in the air cleaner. If not it's possible that water got past the air cleaner hose into the carb intake, I have had that happen before as well. As for the governor, unless a part inside failed at the same time you powerwashed it I would say no. The governoring mechanism is all internal all the way to the carb so powerwashing should not have affected it.
I used to always have problems like this when I powerwashed my tractors. I now use a garden hose hooked to a hot water faucet, a good hot bucket of soapy water and a wash rag for the tinwork and a good commercial degreaser and a heavy scrub brush for the frame and places where the grease is. My problems have all but disapeared keeping the powerwasaher away from the tractors. Just some food for thought.
