brand new B&S surging after 1.5 hrs use

[7394]

Use 100% gas.

If I could buy another antique B&S Flathead 22" Pusher, I would. Mine is 18 years old & still cutting like a hot knife thru butter. 1 pull starts.
They don't make em like they used to. (no offense meant)..

Could be.

I always use fuel stabilizer. Why? I forget how old my fuel is. Don't have to worry about old fuel anymore. My fuel doesn't get gummed up.

It looks like the old fuel gummed up the carb. I got some stabilizer from the mechanic when I picked up the mower. Hopefully that will prevent this from happening all the time.

It’s hard to kill a 5 horsepower flathead Briggs engine, and it’s hard to kill a Briggs opposed twin.

Yep, hope I didn't just jinx my 'minnie-mow' (wifes' name) for my pusher. She is the chief operator.

My life I have been mowing. Never bought new mower, I have simpathy for this person. He/she must get money back from a faulty product. For all our sake.
