The governor is probably stuck. If you are not sure where the governor is located, follow the wire link from the carburetor throttle to the governor lever. The lever has very short back/forth movement, however it should travel freely. Clean off all debris and gunk from the area where the governor lever goes into the engine to see if that will loosen up the governor.

valve sticking, up, bad spark pulg, bent or worn keyway,More...It could also be that the idle speed is set too high, causing the cylinder to "load" excessively when you turn off the key. Also might check the magneto gap -- the gap between the rotating magnetic head and the prongs on the magneto coil. (I usually use a matchbook cover or a business card to set this.)
