Hello,
Boy could I use some help, flat stumped. I have a Huskie mower believe by MTD, carb over tank. Nothing fancy, just run of the mill mower.
It started surging couple years back then finally quit running. We had a small one for trimming so started using that one and put the Huskie up..
Pulled the Huskie out to work on it. Installed new plug, changed oil, cleaned filter, cleaned carb and installed new gasket/diapham, fresh gas and on the first pull it started and ran for about one minute then stalled. So, I primed it again and this time it started, ran a second or so then shut down. I perceived fuel issue so once I got it started again I hit the primer few times and it would try to keep running. Therefore I figured fuel delivery. So I installed NEW carb, same issue. ACtion so far:
1. Installed new carb, gasket and diapham.
2. New springs, air filter, spark plug.
Dunno where else to check. Continual problem is I prime it, starts first or second pull, revs up then shuts down right down. STill will try to run if I manually prime it. Governor seems to working fine, it moves freely. I believe shut off ground circuit ok.
Any suggestions for places to check would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Butch
Sorry, model number coming
