RPM Speed

Hi,
 
I am having trouble getting a briggs and stratton motor to run at the correct speed. It is of the auto choke variety model 126t02-0675-b2 I rebuilt the entire thing and set the governor arm to be against the governor. It starts but runs rough and very low rpm, if I move the throttle on the carburetor with my finger I can make it run right. I tried bending the tab that the throttle spring is connected to but that didn't do anything. Im wondering if the governor is bad, it looks fine, nothing seems broken or missing from it, and it moves in and out. This is my first time rebuilding a small engine, it seems like I am really close but something about the governor is wrong maybe.
 
Thanks for any help or questions

    To confirm the governor adjustment,
       -Loosen the governor holding bolt/nut
       -Hold the throttle wide open,
       -Push the governor arm in the same direction as the open throttle plate
       -Tighten the bolt/nut
     
    It'll only work correctly if set this way.  If set opposite, it'll pretty much not move
    (This is if the unit is good INSIDE the engine)

    Also, the tab and spring, when pulled/set tighter(more spring tension), RAISES the high speed RPMs.
