back together cuts like new. now to address an old problem when blades not engaged it runs erratic, like the throttle is being pummped? has new plugs, new oil, new air filter.???

surging.....its the carb...but check spark at both ends first to get that out of the way......carb rebuild kits run about $23.....it pretty easy....i would recommend soaking the parts overnight....tell us how it goes:thumbsup:........also ...bad gas on these twins make them surge too

Be sure to inspect all the other pulleys on your mower as well. Any ones that are damaged will cause your whole mower deck to shake like a wet dog when the high or low spots (pinched or spread, respectively) come around.:biggrin:
