Can't get more than 2000 RPM from the engine. 200 1987

Hello,

Started up today with no problems, got two blocks from home and the engine bogged-down - couldn't get more than 2000 RPM out of it. Pulled off to the side, turned off the engine for a minute, started up and got full RPMs. Was able to drive a couple of miles with no problems, then the same thing. Pulled over, turned off the engine for a minute, started up fine and drove for another mile. Same thing again - but this time the engine stayed bogged-down - like there was a governor on the engine at 2000 RPM. I was able to limp back home.

Idles fine, temperature not a problem. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Ron
