Post your model numbers and I'll send you a procedure to check and adjust the governor.

:smile: Either the governor likage has slipped or the governor has failed. I would take Rivets suggestion and then try adjusting the governor. If adjusting the governor does not work, then you will have to pull the engine and get inside to see whats going on. I hope its just a gov. adjustment. Good luck.
