Here is a slow motion video of the governor and latch-out on my Stover type KA 2HP hit and miss engine. note that as the engine speed slows, the governor weights pull inward due to an internal spring. this allows the latch-out arm to pull away from the latch-out block on the pushrod, which then gets pushed against the cam by a spring (not seen in video) and follows the cam profile, allowing the engine to complete another power stroke. this increases the speed of the spinning flyweights, forcing them out, which pushes a pin that forces the latch out arm toward the latch out block on the pushrod.
