Russell and Glenn:

 

I have a 2 1/2 horse NB that had the runaway problem. Now this is not "rocket surgery" or "brain science" either.  It has to be a governor problem.  In my case what was happening was when the engine warmed up, the detent lever was not catching the push rod and therefore not allowing the engine to "miss" and keep the exhaust valve open.  I had to file the detent notch to make it a little sharper and make sure it could drop in to the notch when commanded to do so by the weights on the governor. The older engines had a tip brazed on the lever so it could be changed when worn out, but to save money, the newer ones were "one piece".

Hope this helps
