Hi. Just signed up to the Forum. This is what I have done so far new fuel filter new spark plug gov adj checked ele clutch
replaced mower belt cleen carb blew air threw fuel line engine starts a lot better seems to have mower pwr and smoother Still was not going up a gradual rise put some fuel additive to off set ethanol started getting power back.
Next time I got it out would not go up hill with blades running and moter dosn,t seem to slow down when placing lever to slow when warmed up, motor starts to slow down a little slowy thinking fuel pump next as mower got a little better
when I blew out line from filter back to tank last year. But fuel looks good in filter I put air fwd threw fuel pump maybe harmed fuel pump but why would it work fine for a while than act up again ?
Sorry about the length of post. I can mow the lawn across the grade but the smallest incline it dies out but dose not stop but it really struggles. Thank you for any suggestions.
:confused2:

Sounds like a layer of water and crap in your carb bowl...
