I believe this engine has a pnumatic governor with a rubber diaphram. I remember an old thread describing what happens when the diaphram breaks, but I can't find the thread at the moment. I remember it involves a lot of smoke, but I don't remember anything about a runaway condition. Maybe somebody can dig up the old threads(s) on the governor diaphram and see what's there.
