Is it the carb I wonder? Cleaned the carb and adjusted (maybe not correct) but doesn't seem to help. Starts right up but it lopes from an idle to a rev then back down. I watch the linkage from the gov as it pulls the carb open. Pops a bit an actually seems rich instead of lean but I was thinking perhaps it was not getting enough fuel and causes the gov to try and take over. Sort of like a hot rod engine with a cam in it, lopes til I mess with the linkage or throttle and then it will settle down and runs real smooth. Does not happen every time it is running either but usually does. Clean gas, level ground, warm or cold engine.
I noticed that if I monkey around with the linkage when running smooth I can get it to jump into surging again. Got to wondering if the gov is sensing a load due to the carb not being right and takes over. Looking for some experience or thoughts from others.
