Update 3: the solution to the surging/dying was in the carburetor. This is the passage opposite the needle valve. That little square piece of debris must have been the culprit. Sprayed it out and re-assembled all is good. Wife is out mowing right now. She loves to mow!

Got it out, started right up, ran great for couple minutes mowing then suddenly died. Restarted with choke, same thing mowed for a minute and died. Repeated that a couple time, then ran it aound the yard full throttle and then noticed it was surging. So thinking under the load of mowing it’s...

Yes it is straight, no marks.

UPDATE: opened up the rocker covers and found this. All parts there, I must have nut tightened everything down. Set intake to 0.004 exhaust to 0.005 an closed it back up. See how it runs tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the replies and info.

Each cylinder brought to TDC, Each cylinder brought to TDC, valve clearance set to 0.002" per manual found online. That sounded a bit tight to me, I thought it would be more like 0.004"-0.006".

Wife went to start tractor this afternoon, no go. Checked battery, 11.8v or something. Jumped it to start, 10.something across terminals. So the ignition/headlights are pulling it even lower while running, obviously not getting anything from the charging circuit. New battery as of last...

Trimmer is 3-4 years old, in springtime I replaced the intake strainer and fuel lines. Starts easy when cold, runs fine. After I use it a bit I notice the throttle gets a little touchy, idles fine but when you apply power you have to kind of nurse it back up to full power. If you stop for some...

Looked on their website, nothing about tillers for the lawn/garden tractors. Anyone fitted a small tiller from another manf. to this tractor?

Anyone on here own a pushmower with B&S engine, that has had the fuel tank split? I have done some internet searching and apparently it is a fairly common issue. I would have expected to see some kind of recall, with as much emphasis they are putting on environmental issues (i.e. no-leak fuel...
