I've been having problems with my 12 HP B&S Flat Head 281707 when at full throttle It makes a boom sound like someone Is hitting a bass drum. Sometime It goes boom boom boom I don't know If that's misfiring or what but doesn't sound good does that mean It's running too lean or too rich. It runs good underload for a couple minutes then starts to make the boom sound until I lower the throttle then when I put It back It runs ok for another couple minutes. I've taken the carb apart and cleaned It up real good with carb cleaner. It starts as soon as I turn the key, I checked the spark plug and It's fine+fuel filter and has fresh gas. I cut my neighbors lawn front and back and It bogged a little but never stalled. Just makes the boom boom sound and my small push mower does the same thing which Is also a briggs.
