Hi Everyone,
I have a 2013 Kawasaki FS481V on a Bobcat classic 36 2nd time out this spring it stalled with a puff of smoke and i found gas sitting in the air intake. I guessed the float sticking from winter gas. I replaced the Carb , Fuel pump and gas filter and now in find that it runs at an idle but SURGES when i try to rev it up and when under load. If i hold the throttle still to over ride the governor it runs rough. I changed the oil after the flooding event and changed the Air filter and spark plugs. any thoughts? Thanks? Rob

You have an obstruction in the fuel system or the valves are way out of adjustment

Thanks i was wondering about the valves i had read that a stuff intake could be part of the story, I used all OEM Kawasaki parts I will check the actual fuel line and pop the valve covers
