My toro 17-44-HXL riding mower seems to have a mind of its own. the governor seems to be working ok, all external parts are intacked. springs and linkages all connected. the governor controle arm moves all the way forward as if it wants to slow engine but will not , the throttle valve is almost closed as I looked inside to check the operation. even with the throttle valve shut the engine races.This is a Briggs & Stratton model 31F777-0123-E1. Any help would greatly be appreciated.The engine does slow down a bit when a load is put on it (mower engaged) the mower is about six years old and has been maintained fairly well.
On the bottom of the carb is a metal bowl, remove and clean internal parts. make sure the float moves freely and isnt sticking

Can you reach a finger in the carb and see if there is some sort of foreign material in there? Sounds like something stuck in the intake side.
