I picked up a non-running old Troy-bilt Mustang 50inch sitting in a yard for almost 2 years.
Model: 17ARCACQ011
Date: 01/20/2015
SN: 1A195H10287
It wont run. I pulled the old carb. The throttle plate was stuck open.
I bought a new one from a local lawn mower store.
I got it running.
I have two problems.
1. I can smell gas from the exhaust. Sometimes i can see black smoke exhaust.
2. At full throttle, the rpm surges.
I have not done anything on the rich running condition. Any ideas?
What I have done on the rpm surging.
I adjusted the governor cross shaft at full throttle. Still surging.
I adjusted the valves to 0.005" both exhaust and intake. Some valves were very tight. Still surging after adjustment.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
