Yesterday I went to jump on my riding 2 cyl mower to mow the lawn. Have
already used it several times this season. Started it and it ran for a
minute although bad then died. Long story short, it was out of gas.
OK, so I fill it back up. Thing does not want to start. Finally gave
it a little shot of starting fluid and it starts, but does not want to
run very good. It will not hardly rev up, its like it gets bogged
down. If you slowly rev it up with the throttle it will go, but just
move it to full throttle fast, it bogs down. Its got what I guess it
the throttle plate that will move back and forth on its own as its
running, and if you sort of "butterfly" this by hand it will run OK, but
as soon as you try to put a load on the motor, it will bog down and
die. Also, when you do getting it running with no load, it surges up
and down while that throttle plate moves back and forth.
So, anybody know anything about lawn mower engines? Im thinking maybe
the carb got gummed up or something, so I messed with it spraying carb
cleaner down it while messing with the throttle to keep it running.
Seems to have a helped slightly but still cant run it with a load. Is
there some adjustment to the carb that I need to make? I see a screw
there that looks like it adjusts something, will give that a try in a
minute.
