Craftsman 26 HP Pro V twin- Model #SV735S
The problem has gotten worse since the beginning of the season. The mower starts fine but at some point it loses RPM's, not much, but enough to slightly bog down the blades. It then smells like the exhaust is running rich. It' s random on when this happens and how long it lasts. Eventually, like someone hits a switch, it instantly revs back to full RPM. Now it runs with loss of RPM more than it runs at full RPM.
At the beginning of the season I changed the oil and filter, fuel filter, air filter, the plugs, and cleaned the deck.
The only thing I see is when I remove the air filter the carb has two holes about the same size, one looks like it has a nice finished edge and the others looks like it has a melted edge? Is there supposed to be two holes there?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
