Not sure I quite follow you Dave?
To assemble, I place the gov into the levers and then push the shaft through the top of the pump.
Then fit the top onto the main body.
The shaft rotates and I can feel that it is securely in the levers.
There is no chance of it coming out.
For this pump, it is impossible to remove the gov from the lever without taking the shaft out of the top of the pump first.
Spent ages trying it. No way. Has to be removed.
So it's also not possible for the gov to fall out of the lever during assembly.
I'm stumped. from what I can see the levers are moving and the gov is moving them, rotated by the gov shaft.
So why in the $^££$((%£" is it the throttle action doing nothing.
I'd think something wasn't back together correctly, but for the collar moving on the plunger by the lever as expected.
Only other thing I can think is that this:

Is the wrong way around ??
Should the hole be facing the head and not as pictured facing the cam plate.
Only that would mean less of the collar is likely to be covering the spill port on the plunger, so It'd think things would be worse.
It was how it is assembled in the spare pump, but no guarantee someone hasn't been in that pump and fscked it.
Noting that the spare pump didn't run the engine either.
Which I put down to it being rusty inside. Very rusty.
Other pictures of pump assembly I've seen on the net (and linked to from here) don't have enough detail to show that collar orientation...
Anyone got a pump in pieces and can verify ?
