Replaced governor spring thinking that would fix it. Carb is new. Has gas in the tank and the line is clear. Normally it starts fine. After I shut it off and go back to restart it is when it really gives me trouble.
Now when I start it it just revs up and down and eventually sputters out. I tried to upload a video but the files are too large. Even 3 seconds of footage.
Thanks.
Sorry for the lack of details. This is a Sears Craftsman mower, model number 917.387620.
the engine is B&S # 12H802-2684. I’m trying to solve the problem of it not running consistently. It seems to start ok when it’s cold. If I don’t shut it off it goes till the fuel runs out. When I go to restart it it doesn’t want to start again. Now it will start but but wants to surge back and forth. One post I saw suggested water in the fuel as a possibility. I’m about to go check that out.
