I have an older JD165. I thought I had an intake leak. The lawn mower would run great wide open when the choke was closed. When I engaged the deck it would fall on its face. When I pull the throttle lever down out of the choke into wide open it will spit and sputter. If I pull it out of the choke while running right down to an idle it will sit there and idle without a problem.
It sounds like its starving for fuel(new filter). I checked for intake leaks, cleaned the carb. The only thing left is the fuel pump diaphragms. Any ideas of known issues? I've had this mower for a few years and has been properly maintained.
