Is there a simple way to disconnect the governor arm from the carborator? I've removed the bolts that hold the carb on but it won't slide off (It needs cleaned big time) because the of the linkage to the governor arm (wire rod and spring). The shop manual says to remove one of the two screws that hold it on, but I'm not sure which one should be removed or what will happen to the governor if I do remove them. I have heard that governors are really hard to adjust and I was trying to avoid that agrevation. I've labels the two screws "A" and "B" (one of them is really a bolt).

Can I just assume that the reason the governor over-revs the engine rpms is because of a compression issue (pistons/rings/cylinders)?. Does " changing the rings" entail a great deal of effort/work/experience?
