How is the speed adjusted on a Briggs 4.5 hp lawn mower engine?

there is a lever associated with the choke. when the engine needs more power the choke moves to the closed position. There is a governor spring attached to the lever.
If this spring is shortened the choke will not be able to move back to full open. This is not recommended though. I did it last fall for the last cut of the year. Sparks were flying from the starter housing flywheel and I used two tanks of gas for a very small yard, normally I get by with about 3/4 of a tank. The mower sure was screaming though. This lever can usually be located by looking down between the starter housing and the air filter.
