Sounds like the needle is passing excess fuel possibly. 7 year old carb probably needs a rebuild.

How about his and her's push mowers? So romantic........ ♥️💞🥰💕♥️ Great way to spend quality time together and some MUCH needed exercise. That's a 42" deck for cheap. Easy to maintain too.

You can't buy expensive tools on this site. Been scolded several times now about spark testing tools LOL.

What do you think, the engine wants? If you spray go-go juice and she runs for a bit, then dies......... Did you clean the fuel tank, like a new one, as suggested previously? Didn't see anything about cleaning anything. Probably needs new fuel line from tank to carb. Fuel lines "can"...

Excellent. It could, mostly weak coils fade at mid and high revs. This is where the Christmas light coil testers do not show you the whole picture of can said coil jump a large gap in free air. We hav better tools now as in the PET-4000. Might have to pull the flywheel to get a better view.

Look for dead spindle and idler bearings. Deck piled up with grass.

If you have all new, "working" and "tested" parts, then look at the flywheel key.

Was this an OEM carb or a Chinese Scamazon/Fleabay clone?

Just pull the hose off AT the carb inlet. Drain into a glass jar. Will easily see if the pump or a gravity system is working or not.

Where are you getting these regulators from? Think I know where....... And having to move some pins around doesn't sound normal. Get a Battery Tender while you are on Scamazon LOL.

Buy the proper OEM belt.

Can it fail, sure. Needing full choke to run is a dirty carb and or lack of fuel delivery. Possible fuel tank vent failure.

That white fog looks to be atomized fuel. As in the needle and seat not sealing proper.

THAT is definitely blown. No question. Now is the fun part. You must clean and lap the head and area on the block where the new gasket sits. I use 220 grit wet/dry paper on the garage door window. Go to 400 then 800 grit. Let the paper do ALL THE WORK. Don't press hard and rotate the head...

Please explain.........
