Throttle forced wide open when mower turns on

[smo1898]

Briggs 15.5hp

Throttle linkage is all hooked up properly. When the mower is off it moves as it should, opening and closing the throttle plate.

Once the mower starts the throttle gets locked at wide open. Adjusting the throttle does nothing except move cables and links
