That's the governor that is spring loaded. It is attached somehow to
the throttle lever, which is the slide part. Examine it carefully and
ensure the throttle is properly linked with the governor. They both
interact. I bent the linkage on mine when the throttle got caught on
some bushes and it behaved the exact same way. Once I figured out how
the throttle linked to the governor, all was well.
