I have an FH430v-AS26-R engine on a Lesco 48" walk behind. Initially I had an issue with flooding engine thinking a stuck float. I attempted to remove the main jet but was old and not coming out. I replaced carb, air filter, fuel pump and filter to no avail. I now have trouble starting and when started it surges up and down and is not coming up to full RPM. I tried to attach a video of it but was restricted.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Is the carb replacement new? Surging, I've found to be a lean fuel mixture. Engine runs a little too low on fuel so, it opens the governor to compensate and then it gets a bit too much fuel causing the rpms to rise. Then the governor backs off causing a drop in rpms. This rise and fall in rpms is the "surging" or "galloping ". You could try applying the choke slightly to see if it will smooth out.
