Best Answer

It sounds like the governor linkage is frozen, jammed, or out of adjustment. Locate the throttle shaft on the carburetor body, start it up, and put the engine under load. As it dies, you should see the governor link open the throttle completely up, to compensate for the lower engine speed. If it does appear to operate correctly, the problem will be carb related, probably a blocked main jet or air bleed, and should be cleaned and rebuilt.

Why the car runs fast or slow?

The position of the throttle(gas pedal) decides how fast the engine can turn, and the selection of gear decides how fast the wheels can turn. And how fast the wheels can turn decides how fast the car will be going. (note that this is quite simplified. Eventually the resistance of pushing the car forward will be higher than the engine can overcome, and then you won't get any more turns out of the engine, even if you try for more throttle)
