Default Safe amount to tweek the governor 98 Freedom

I gave up on the Marathon for now anyway and bought a like new Freedom and it is slow to the point of being annoying. It actually seems like as the belt gets near the top the rpms drop. I searched some and found a couple threads on tightening that nut on the cable. My question is that the best way to increase speed and what is a safe amount. I do have access to a photo-tach. but if I could get by with out it would be easier.
Thanks

Tightening the spring but not bypassing the gov is the safest way for speed. Adjust a little at a time til you're happy with it.

Sorry it took forever but here is the nut I tightened. If this is the right one I may go a little more. I also took a ton of slack out of the cable using the other nut on the cable housing in the picture

Safest and best way for speed is lift and taller tires. (just a thought)
