I'm at the extent of my knowledge. Reaching out for help!
Bought this new about 2 years ago, never had a problem until a couple weeks ago. Cutting grass as normal made a turn and it just died. Started right back up, but surging. Let it sit over night and it ran just fine until it got hot. Then died, starts and surging.
I started going through the steps to pinpoint the problem.
Changed fuel
Changed spark plug
Changed fuel filter
Changed air filter
Continued to repeat the issue when it got hot.
Cleaned the carburetor, and it actually got worse, surging is 100% of the time now.
Changed fuel again, added cleaner additive
Ordered and replaced the carburetor assembly, no change constant surging.
Confirmed the fuel lines not clogged
Replaced the ignition coil
Replaced the throttle bracket and both governor springs
Checked and adjusted the valve lash
Pulley teeth are OK
Always starts, can't maintain RPM.
I don't know what to check next to be honest.
