Should there be a gasket where I indicated in my last image ? Yes this looks like a fairly new carb ... now thinking it was replaced and possible gasket was not installed. Appreciate your efforts and links. May just get the kit and hopefully that will fix it.

See attached .... it currently does not have a gasket.

Thanks for that part number for gasket.

Shop Pro carb cleaner spray can with red tube. Sprayed the bottom nut holes and the hole I could see from where the bowl was. Did not know there are two each side of butterfly ... will try next. Do have an air compressor and will try that also. Thanks.

Sprayed carb cleaner in small holes in carb and on bottom nut. Used small wire to try and clean. Put new spark plug and put it back together. At first it seemed to run better but then started surging again like original video.

Haha good one ! Attached images of flywheel and carb. Carb looks very clean. Thank you !

Is this it ? B&S Quantum XTE 6 HP

Today I let it run until it stopped on it’s own, to get all gas out. There was not much gas in tank but sure it was not new gas. Thanks for all that info andrewslarge. Will look into this early this coming week. Thanks for your input Mark. Since it started so easily would not have thought of...

Not sure but don't think it's fuel/carb as it starts up easily. But I've little experience with this. May try a different spark plug. I did not do anything to it recently. It was not mine. Belonged to my father n law and was seldom used last few years. Just thought someone here may have a...

Inherited this old push mower ... B&S Quantum XTE 6 HP Starts up easy but runs rough, like it's always going up and down. Spark plug was fairly clean and the air filter looks almost new as if changed recently. Appreciate some advice. Can here it run here ...

It was running until I hit the kill switch ... how would the main jet be clogged ? Just tried starting again .... after cooling for about an hour, started 1st pull.

Thanks for the video ... my carb looked as clean as the one he worked on. Put it back together and it started 2nd pull. Had put the bagger on and bagged some leaves for about 10 minutes. Stopped it to empty the bag and it would not re-start. Seems I'm back to the original problem.

Finally got back to mower and removing the carb. Wire will easily go through hole within center of carb. Wire will easily go through the side hole shown in image below It will not go through the top hole to meet the side hole in image below

The smoke did not come when starting as it occasionally does from muffler or exhaust. Came from top of the motor. I removed the plastic cover as quick as I could but could not spot exactly where it came from. And that only happened the first time I ran it today. I will look into the...

Never meant any disrespect to you. Your choice to leave this thread ... can only thank you for the advice given.
