Oh no! That is awful.

I have the original, I will keep it just in case I need a backup. However, after four good cleanings it was the linkage that was the issue. Turns out the choke linkage had come partially out of the slot it is supposed to slide in, causing the choke to not engage.

SOLVED!!!!! To everyone, thank you! I found the problem. As some people indicated, it was the choke. In one of my removals, probably the first one, the linkage had slipped out causing it to basically "float". I feel like an idiot not checking this! Half of the choke was hanging outside of...

It is $140 for the OEM carb. The Chinese ones I have tried before fail within a month or two, those are the cheap ones. The one that is on the mower now is an OEM one I bought a year ago. Worked great until last week when I went to mow.

This is something I have thought about but would that cause it to only start with a squirt of carb cleaner or gas in the chamber? Seems like it would also run poorly when started but it runs great.

It is a brand new carb from a year ago.

Mine is a Walbro LMT with a permanent idle jet, where the idle adjustment screw is. I did try by best to clean that out by spraying carb cleaner into the idle adjustment screw hole where that idle just passage is. I will do it again and check them as you mentioned to see if they are blocked. If...

Did some more research. These plastic floats cannot be adjusted. What can happen is the needle gets worn and doesn't stop fuel from flowing into the bowl, thus causing flooding. I took the carb apart a fourth time and cleaned it a fourth time. I attached pictures to show the bowl, main jet...

It appears to be closing all the way. I have also tried starting at different levels of choke to no avail.

My float doesn't look like it has any adjustment. The float is plastic, even where the needle sits in the float. Not sure how I would adjust it...

I removed the float, main nozzle, all of it. I cleaned them all out. The float moves freely and gas fills the carb but doesn't flood.

Good Morning! I have been struggling to get my mower to start properly without injecting either carb cleaner into the carb or gas directly into the chamber. What have I done to fix this issue? Cleaned the Carb (3x now) - this included removing everything from the bowl and tube, physically...
