Will run at half choke for a couple of minutes. Then if you set to no choke it will stutter and cough , until it gets hot. Once its hot , 15-20 minutes , then It runs fine. After taking it out of the garage and moving around , if it is on a bumpy surface or using the loader, it runs realy rough , stuttering and coughing like its got COPD ! Then is will stall.Just like some one turned the key off. If you try to restar it it just cranks over. After it sits for a couple of minutes it will start back up. and seems fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

Could be a governor issue. When it's sitting there idling and you crack the throttle and bring it up to high speed, does it go smoothly or does it sputter? Is the choke staying open when operating, sometimes when I'm using the backhoe on my 202 the choke will come on causing it to not run right and if I don't get to it quick enough it will flood (needs a new spring).

Have been opening the fuel screw ( large one ) on the carb. 1/8 at a time. Nothing better. This is a new carb. When she's sitting it runs very good, female LOL , she acts different than when out working, could it be the float ? Did not check or set when put it on. ALSO , throttle only moves about 1 to 1-1/2 inchs from idle to full throttle. Not 65 deg. like the manual. Stumped ? [Reply]  [No Email]

This is often overlooked. My te20 did the same thing several years ago, and that was the problem. Take the elbow off of the carb and blow out the screen that comes out with the elbow.
