Hmmmmm. Sounds like your governor might be a bit sluggish. Maybe a change of oil in the governor might be in order, also what weight oil has been in the governor, and what is being used now? 

And that's a good question to ask.  

Governor oil looks red.  It's a thin product.  If the governor leaked and ran too low on fluid, some well-meaning but misguided person might have filled 'er back up with motor oil if no governor oil was easily available.  It would not be the first time such a thing had happened.  See if there is visible governor oil to the full mark, and is it thin and red?

When I was an Engineer, I always carried a bottle of governor oil in my grip.
