Hi Follks,
I am not the best at fixing small engines so I am trying to learn.
I have a Troy-Bilt Zero turn with a Kohler 7000 Engine and Walbro Carb. The engine started to sputter and die when I ran it for 5 min. The first thing I tried is pulling off the carburetor and cleaning it, but no luck. However now I seem get engine surge right after start up which i did not notice before. So I checked the fuel pump and gas tank for blockage and it seems to be sending gas fine so no luck there. I checked the spark plugs and they seem fine. Then I took off the Carburetor, cleaned it again, and used a rebuild kit, still no luck.
I am about to put another Carburetor on it. But before I do, any suggestions?
