I have Cub Cadet push mower (model number 11A-18MC056 959-468). It starts up fine, but surges and eventually dies if I push the choke in. Will run with the choke on, but sounds weak, and dies if it hits any stiff resistance. Then it won't restart until I let it cool down. I replaced the carburetor (because it was leaking gas), so that is brand new.
Questions:
1. Could it be air leakage around the carburetor? What is the best way to detect and seal air leaks?
2. Is there some adjustment that needs to be made to a new carburetor to get the fuel/air mixture right?
3. Could this be caused by bad gas?
