Yes B&S 24hp. Instructions would be great. Thank you.

I have never used ethanol in anything. When I took it into JD it was surging and had a low volume very faint popping sound. I just mowed 2 acres of my 5 and no surging at all, but the very low volume popping has come back. Monday I will take it back to JD, unless it is a simple fix and someone...

I will run it 30 minutes around property for several days and do an update. The gas tank is awful and JD probably made it this way so you have to take mower in to drain tank. At the top of the fuel inlet neck there is an inner sleeve molded into the neck, when you turn tank upside-down about a...

JD called today, said mower was ready, water in the fuel pickup. It runs perfect so far. When surging first started last week, I took the fuel tank off and drained it. Disconnected fuel line from tank, started mower and ran all gas out of line till mower died. I put gas in a mason jar and let it...

Will do. Do you know of a good mower mechanic, reasonable rates?

You said it happened brand new. I would have taken it back and switched it for another one.

Took the mower to JD, will let you all know what happens. Thank you for all the help.

Gas is always fresh. Bought the mower June/16/2025.

Will it clean the carb ?

The JD dealer is in Shawnee, OK. they sale and work on large, small JD tractors, skid steers and mowers. I'm getting ready to load it on my trailer and take it to them.

What do you mean, churned in a fuel can? How long does it take for the HEET to work? If it is just for bad gas, I have already taken the gas tank off, drained all gas, I had to jerry rig a shop vac to suck all the gas out because there is an inner sleeve in the neck of the gas fill spout. When...

It is a new mower 30 hours. I clean the whole mower, frame engine after every mow, 5 acres.

Thank you. Do you think it would do any good to put a bottle of HEET in the gas. The only mower mechanic around here retired 6 months ago. If I have to take to dealer, I have a trailer, so delivery is no problem.

For warranty I don't want to change anything for now.

First thing dealer said was, they have had a lot of customers in the past 2 weeks with same problem and contributed it to bad gas they told the customers to add HEET to the gas and was told by the customers it fixed the problem. (??)

I put seafoam in the first tank of gas.

Bought it from Lowes. In Mustang, Oklahoma.

The problem started at 30 hours, so what you said makes sense. When I bought it, I started it to load on my trailer, after loading, it immediately died. On the way home I stopped at a station to get gas in my pickup, and also filled up the mower, (100% gas) I have never used ethanol in any...

I have a new Z325E Zero turn JD mower. Bought 2 months ago. 30 hours on it. Mowing today and when I disengaged the mower blades it started surging, like moving the throttle up and down. When a load is put on it, like mowing it does not surge. I cleaned my 5 gallon gas can, went to a different...
