How can I fix my 6.75 Briggs motor ?

My 6.75 Briggs&stratton ohv engine runs wide open and will not throttle itself down. Also smokes excessively. What do I check?

Check for binding in carb linkage.
If it is allowed to run ungoverned for any length of time it will blow it's self up. Heavy grey/blue smoke would indicate that has already happened.
