I have this older Craftsman driving mower with a 15.5 Briggs and Stratton engine.
For some reason it will not run properly. It worked fine a week ago, but while cutting grass, it suddenly shut off. When I turned it on again, it started running like this. In idle it almost run perfectly, but after a few seconds the RPM goes down, and the governor kicks in and manages to get RPMs back up. This continues again and again.
If I try to give it some grass, it starts hanging a limbo, just above the line from shutting off.
I have cleaned the carburator 3 times. The third time I bought a repair kit and changed most of the internals. I have also checked the ignition and changed the spark plug, along with fuel line, fuel filter and air filter. Lastly I have adjusted the valves.
I am out of ideas. Anyone knows what's going on with this engine?
