[X-posted here and the Troy-bilt forum]
Have a Troy-bilt self propelled with a Honda GCV 160 engine. The mower starts pretty much every time on the first pull and runs fine for about 5-10 mins and then it starts running real rough, like it almost bogs down and stops before revving back up. What's odd to me is that is seems to run better when it is "under load" or actually cutting grass. It seems like it was to bog down at times where there is no resistance, like when I make turns and lift the front wheel up or if I have to cross my drive way. I've examined the plug and air filter and both are very clean.
Any ideas?
