That definitely was part of the problem, when I got this mower it had set along time with old fuel. All the fuel lines were plugged. A lot of cleaning for sure

Ok , now you are just making fun of me! Pulling your leg. I'm the guy had a senior moment and lit my mower on fire. The cylinder was full of fuel, I pulled the spark plug rolled the engine over to clear the cylinder using the starter and the spark touched her off . Thankfully I got it out...

Any idea on why the surging until I get it under load?

So I've got my Troybilt running after catching it on fire, running marginally well. It's surging until I engage, the mower. Also the choke isn't pulling off once I start it and cut the throttle back. This has a Nikki carb, I thought the draw through the carb would open the choke up so possibly...

Where can you get a replacement carb that cheap?

Turns out when I disassembled it the spring steel that engaged the detents was broken. So thank you!

I'm missing something, my transmission as I'm mowing increases speed. I start at slow speed and the lever creeps to faster and faster speed. What should I be looking at? Jim

So you are saying that the fuel shut off valve isn't sufficient to stop fuel from leaking by, I did replace the gaskets in the carb, I assumed it was the float leaking past .

Hey y'all, new to this group. We were full time Rv'rs sold our stick and brick in 21 in Michigan. Now full time resident of Florida. I love this Country! Jim

The day I originally fueled it up and got it running, when I was done shut it down, it backfired when I shut it down, so I'm assuming it is still sticking. Any good ways you recommend cleaning the carb? Someone mentioned a ultrasonic cleaner? Also what is your thoughts on reassembly, do I need...

Thank you,I know the carb is in rough shape. I did clean it as best I could new float valve, it was gunked up from sitting for 10 years. , hardly any hours on it as the cylinder shows no wear/ groove, the solenoid was stuck solid, got it moving slightly not sure how to get it any free'r. Maybe...

Ilengine, thank you! I think we've discovered what is going on! Crankcase is overfilled, I will drain and I've put a fuel shutoff on the fuel line until I can locate a new fuel solenoid. I can't find a part number for it, I downloaded the parts manual and can't read the parts date codes. But...

Ok Thank you. So it appears maybe I have a bad push rod I thought they should be the same, the exhaust has balls on the tip the intake is more oval here is a picture would that explain why I'm blowing oil into my intake I believe

I don't know if you can see it I cranked it over it fired Blue smoke I shut it right off and it pumped all this oil out through the rocker head should this much oil be pumping into the rocker area

I don't know if you can see in the picture but the intake push rod is real shiny the exhaust is kind of dull Gray when I pulled the rocker cover off there's kind of metallic looking oil laying in the bottom of it? Any thoughts

31C707 0603 B2 090727ZA Model type code So it hydro locked cylinder full of fuel, I pulled the spark plug, rolled it over and lit her off. A real senior moment.

So 17.5 hp vertical shaft. I had a senior moment the head end caught fire for a minute or two, now when I start it ,it's burning oil something bad. I'm assuming valve seals or something? It will start run a few seconds then die, it'll restart. Like it's starving of gas. Also the smoking. Any...
