I’m suspecting the problem is as follows:
The carburetor butterfly must completely close at idle position in order to develop enough vacuum to close the switch. Is it? Make sure the synchronization is correct. Butterfly should just barely be ready to open when mark on the brass cam is aligned with the pointer on the intake manifold (NOT the roller). And the spring must be there to pull it shut, as Chris said. And of course, the whole thing (speed control) has to be coming down to idle position.
