Ladies and Gentlemen,
I bought this engine second hand and it runs good except for seeming to run out of fuel at times while mowing. I've learned that if you choke it for a second and then back to full throttle it runs good for a bit before having to repeat the same process.
I checked the bowl and emulsion tube before installing in on the mower and they were clean then but I haven't checked them again yet. Both the idle/fuel jet screws are 1.5 turns out. The fuel tank has been completely drained and the fuel filter is brand new. I have many carbs on hand but I would rather fix this instead of just swapping out parts. Gas is fresh and was purchased today.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
