In reviewing your video, it sounds like your engine is racing well above 1800 RPM. I'm wondering if perhaps there might be an issue with the Governor function operation.
Just to cover all the bases... have you taken a look at the "Governor Arm Assembly" mechanism? With engine off, raise the Close To Run Cover shroud and inspect the governor arm & all linkages. Ck to make sure nothing is bent or missing as compared to the diagram in the -24P manual (see below)
How does that linkage look as compared to the illustrations on printed pg. #132 of the -24P parts manual?
The HOOK END of the Governor Spring should be about midway down on the threaded section of the Governor Arm with the adjusting star thingy up above it . IIRC the hook on spring end typically sits in about the 4th groove or halfway.
