Working on a Briggs 725exi on a husqvarna mower. It’s about 4 years old and has treated me pretty well until lately.
It seems to have a really low rpm idle and bogs down easily. It starts and runs. I’ve removed the carb and checked that out, everything seems good. New spark plug. What I can figure out is what controls the throttle. There is a linkage that goes to the rear of the mower and connects to a shaft that goes down into the engine right around where the nail cable connects. With the air cleaner and plastics off and the engine idling I can see the throttle moving by itself. With the throttle all the way open it just doesn’t seem to be running at proper rpm. Could the jets inside the carb be clogged and not letting enough fuel pass?
Thanks for any help.
