And they need to be positioned not only in that notch, but also the top part rotated as close to the push rod tube as possible upon reinstallation. That top rotation allows for the pump to be 'clocked' to allow the full range of governor arm movement. If they are not set evenly, you can see poor...
Yes, bingo. They look like this:
See that downward metal pin? That locks into (4) notches on the governor armature. When they move to the left, it restricts fuel completely... far right, full volume.

If you jump the starter it will spin, but that doesn't open the fuel shutoff solenoid, or any of the other startup functionality... it just spins the engine over.
