Alright yall, here's the skinny. Mowed my lawn today, carburetor didn't act right so after I finished mowing I remembered I had forgot to break down and clean the carb with the rest of my seasonal maintenence. So, I did that, took the carb out, took the bowl off and realised I didnt have carb cleaner. Long story short I used some break cleaner in the bowl and throat, then put everything back together. Took it outside, started it up and it makes a horrible clacking/rattling noise at the first couple turns, then it fades but doesn't go away conpletely. It's definitely something internal, it didn't do it when I disconnected the plug wire. Anyone have any ideas? Idk if it matters but I torqued the deck bolts to 25 ft/lbs and the blade to 15 ft/lbs with a torque wrench.
