Yes this could be part of the problem-Let's try something! Take the spring to the governor and place it in hole #4, since you feel like the linkage between the governor arm and carb doesn't work-turn the carb plate to the right against the idle screw and tie it down with a spring so it can't move off the idle screw without intended pressure,jack up the kart if you need to to ensure it won't take off.(also unplug the keyed switch now you can just touch the two wires together to shut it down)Crank it up and see if it idles,watch the governor arm movement-turn the carb plate to the left to increase rpm's. Your springs to governor look perfect. It's possible someone tried to adjust the governo-governor arm (top part) should be to the right when idling.Let me know
