OK I am confused. I need a picture of the carburetor. Then I can identify its individual parts. I don't know how much to take apart to get to right areas to do anything. The manual is useless. I have read up on carburetors and generally the fixes include adjusting two or three screws. Mine has one screw and a very limited governor adjustment. The problem persist. It will start when the throttle is pulled all the up to choke. As far as I can see inside the carb it opens and closes freely. Nothing happens to any linkage when throttle is moved except when it's in complete down position (slow) or up to choke. I have, hopefully, adjusted the throttle cable correctly. Where throttle lever is set right below engaging the choke the holes line up through the plate when the throttle is in high position.. Bottom line is the mower starts in choke position and runs for a couple of minutes then dies out. It tries to run if I accelerate by moving the throttle cable on top of carburetor but back fire and sputters to shutting down Model LT1000 917-272660 Briggs and Stratton engine #31C700-0230-E1 :confused2:
I would suggest you rebuild the carb. Most of today's carbs have very limited adjustments and unless the carb is good and clean the adjustments are worthless.
