when the deck gets loaded the motor seems to bog, like it needs fuel. just got it, my old one was 21hp & never had an issue with this situation. this one a 22 hp struggles under load (uphills too). dont see a power screw on the carb . anybody ever jet one up ?? common problem? 150 hours, clean air & fuel filters. no crap in bowl or existing jet. thanks in advance

If this is a twin cylinder engine check to see if both cylinders are firing. When you report back be sure to include all engine numbers.
