Back Story. Rider ran great last fall but I had to jump start it every time I needed to use it. So this spring I figured I will solve the problem and install a bran new battery. I did however the tractor started right up and then stalled. I could not get it to run unless I poured a little gas down the carb and then it would start and die again. I pulled gas line off carb and had fuel flow when turning the engine over. So I pulled the carburator to clean it. Put it back on and same problem. Not sure why a complete disassembly and clean did not fix it. I am thinking maybe float was not opening and could pin hole in it.
For $20 I ordered a new carb on Amazon. Put it on and it fired up right away. Now It is surging and you can see the throttle rod that comes from governor moving when this happens. If I hold the rod in my hand it will run smoothly. Now what do I do and why a new carb would cause this?
