Hi All -
I've become the laughing stock of my neighbors as I won't give up on fixing this 30 year old mower that has been with me for four houses and since high school.
The mower started having problems starting and then staying running. It dies often when put under a load. I rebuilt the carb and this did not fix the problem. It would still die under load, or would run for a bit at WOT, but then die down and idle at a very slow put, put put, cough... put put and then maybe (maybe) rev up again. So, I replaced with a brand new Tecumseh carburetor. Fresh gas. Same problem persists. Any thoughts?
