So I picked up a used Scott’s mower with a tecumseh 6.5hp. When I first got it running. The air filter was soaked wiith oil and gas and had to be replaced. After shutting th mower down by releasing the brake it popped and crackled like an old carbureted car that’s was dieseling. It didn’t want to stop running . The mower ran but a horrible smell of gas was present during and after mowing that made my shed a fire hazard it was so strong. I changed the plug. Changed the bowl and gaskets.
I’ve now filled the tank twice in two lawn cutting sessions. It’s run out of gas during half of my yard and it’s not a big yard. This is a xcessive. I’m assuming it’s running rich. How can I control the mixture if even possible on this carb... thanks in advance
