Fish,
HE put it in his signature 331877 1371-B1.


Larry,
If that engine has a carb solenoid then check it is retracting fully when energised

How do I check the solenoid.

When you turn the ignition on the pin should fully retract
Off the mower a 9V transistor battery is enough to make it retract

Not sure where we left off.
I pulled the carb twice over the weekend and cleaned the ba-jesus out of it. Confirmed that the solenoid activated with ignition. Got the mower running, urr partly. Will try to link video.

Compressed air was blown on the outside.

Slomo, Why are you responding to a question that was adressed to me?

The carb was taken apart and sprayed with carb cleaner, all holes in carb sprayed with same.
