What causes engine surging and how is it fixed?
It can but we are talking about trying to idle an engine at 1200 that normally idles at 1700 So I doubt that is the issue. On rare occasion you can get a governor surge, but I have only seen it 2-3 times in almost 25 years, and one of those I caused. If the issue is carb released the surges should stop if you engage the blades on the mower. the extra load allows fuel from the high speed jet. An engine even running at full throttle without a load still runs on the idle circuit of the carb, and the main high speed jet is not in play until there is a load applied.Thanks guys for your explanations. If the idle is set too low, could that also cause a gallop/surging?t
