I have always wondered if a cruise control mechanism could be adapted to work as a governor. Depending on what your engine is from, maybe it, or the vehicle it came from might have some or most of the parts already.

The cruise control systems I have tinkered with used a magnet on the drive shaft and a detector very close to the spinning shaft to give the signal to control the electric/vacuum control unit. I don't see why the magnet couldn't be mounted on the vibration dampener with epoxy and the detector rigged somehow to get the signal from there.
But I haven't tried it, so I cannot say how well it might work. I would definitely have a kill switch handy in case RPMs got too high. Good luck!
