The short answer is NOPE. If it truly runs away with only an inch or so of hand throttle movement off of a dead idle, that generally means the governor weights have exploded. This is especially true if it was fine and then suddenly ain't fine. If you just bought the tractor and it was like that, I'd still check the governor weights, altho it could just be a badly adjusted governor.

Thats exactly what it does when I try to give it some throttle.are the magnets something that I can replace and where could I get them?

You can buy new weights from the aftermarket. Pop the cover off the front and take a look.

When you say that the govenor exploded does that the
magnets will be in pieces?

The weights will potentially be in pieces. No magnets.
