Yeah briggs parts catalog shows top no load 1900.. but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, with alternator needing to be tested at 3600 ..
HOWEVER, the top no load may be the equipment manufacturer's specification (what was this engine originally equipped to?) - So, it is not particularly alarming.. If the engine has since been re-purposed to power something than what it was originally built for, then you can always re-spec (change out governor spring and re-adjust) to whatever the needed top no load RPM is going to be.
Edit to add: Appears it was originally equipped for a John Deere E120 (Which Ive never heard of that model - starting with an E.. ) , JD parts sheet for E120 shows
