Surging is usually from too lean, prob the cylinder with dry plug. Choke it a little to see what happens. I take pics of complicated stuff before and as I'm tearing it down and make notes.

I've been running them since '89. There likely are plastic bushings where tube goes thru frame so careful with/don't heat. I install belt, pull front out with comealong, then adjust using the belt tensioner.

The US "education" cabal is a near total failure. It's terminally infested with anti-Americans.

Do some oil filter research. That engine may not require anti-drainback valve but there's VERY likely one with same specs otherwise that'll substitute

I run 2 old Snappers, have since '89. One's set up for mowing, other for pick up. Am on 3rd engine for mower, currently a Honda 390GXV. The pick up has 2nd engine, 11HP B&S. I adjust throttle to do whatever I need to do. At full throttle they are too fast so I don't run full throttle unless I'm...

Stretched spring more, not leaking now, got new needle if it leaks again. Non adjustability is TRASH.

Nah, all looks new, got a catch bowl in inlet line. Only use non ethanol(water) gas.

That's where overflow exits.

Feel each relay as you try starting. When you find the clicker, jump it and try again. Bear in mind that all "new" means is it MIGHT work.

Yup, 1st thing. I just need to know if anybody's figgerd an adjusting trick. When America was great we had good brass adjustable floats. How crazy is this??? https://www.partstree.com/parts/honda-16011-za0-931/

It's leaking with bowl on, but if I hold it up with bowl off it'll stop. I stretched spring, didn't help. Any fixing the accursed plastic apparatus?

What Abe said. My question is why it wont run without it? Maybe carb's jetted so lean it needs the tank vapor?

Sounds like the main jet came loose.
