I agree with Tom W also, Running the tractor long enough to get it fully warmed up is imporatant for removing moisture/condensation. Every third time it is operated in the winter, it needs to be up to temp. Also check the operation of your thermostat, if it is missing, or stuck open, the tractor will never come off of the cold end of the temp scale. It needs to do that. To get it warm, cover the radiator intake at the grill to limit air flow.
Another idea (if it races up again) is to heat it with a hair dryer for 15 minutes at the governor. That is the curve sided box in front of the carb.

I would not cover the engine if it outside. They seem much more prone to condensation when covered because they stay cold when ambient air can condense on/in them. Covering the exhaust is manditory, but not the entire unit. Putting it inside is often preferable, but not always practical/possible. JimN
