Probably not, Bill..
Does your governor have a low pitch/high RPM stop screw/locknut. I wouldn't be surprised if it just broke in along with the engine and is now settled. I'm not sure how many turns or fraction of a turn on the stop screw produces how many RPM's but I'd turn it 1/2 a turn, allowing the prop cable to move toward fine pitch a little and go fly. Adjust a little, go fly, or just do a full power runup. Is there a little space between your prop control knob and the dash?
Regards,
