Engine revs up by itself

Hi all,
I just got a craftsman riding mower with a Kholer engine. The engine turns on and idles fine, however when you give it a little gas, the engine revs up by itself where I have to turn it of to stop it.
I'm kind of a newbie, please be descriptive on your explanation.

Any help what it could be?

Thanks for any help before hand.:thumbsup:

Found the engine model number in the user's manual.

I don't see anything on the engine, maybe if I pull the covers off?
