Naturally, the thermowax autochoke is inoperative, but the mower starts O.K. with manual enrichment (i.e. a puff of gas into the carb).
Once started, the engine revs to what seems its normal range, but then revs drop to almost stall, then revs up again, drops again,
in a rythmic pattern, until it finally stalls entirely. An attempt to mow while it's in this pattern stalls it immediately. I use only non-ethanol
fuel. The mower functioned normally about 3 weeks previously; after that period of disuse it developed this malady. Suggestions welcome.
