Mower Surges.. Engine or Something else?

Ok thanks I will leave this to 7394...... Something is definitally putting that engine in a bind. He is better than me on those drive trains.......

One more thing. When I do a turn it stops doing it!?!?

When you turn it is putting left or right pressure on the rear end. Hence the internals are moving inside causing a bind..

It doesn't stop.. rather it stops doing the pulsating and runs smooth

Sorry can't be of more help. I just know about that transaxle, since I ended up swapping it out to a Peerless 6 speed. Then later sold the mower.

I'm guessing (on 1/2 cup of coffee so far) that it's the drive belt.

Good idea. When I get a chance, I'll put some dressing on it too see if that makes a difference

Put some dressing on the Belt and fine-tune the carburetor slightly rich. Motor doesn't surge but the thing still acts like a pulsating bucking bronco

Is your drive belt loose? Is it on correctly?
I just changed a drive belt two days ago, It was only being held on by the guide. Slip on, slip off. But the guide would keep it from falling down all the way to the other deck belt.
