Hello. Im not really a small engine guy. Hope someone can help.
According to the numbers, I have a 2007 machine, purchased from the original owner about 2 1/2 years ago. I've put about 150 hours on it(total hrs ~750). It's always seemed to have carb related problems, would hunt for idle, didn't seem responsive at times, but it mowed decent.
Did spring maintenance, noticed clear plastic gas filter had black gunk, has since been replaced. Took off and cleaned carb. No rebuild. Black tip on float valve seemed good under bi-focals. Reassemble, once it got gas, seemed to run ok. Would restart w/no problems. Mowed once around a 1/2 acre pasture. Will not restart. Thinking it was flooded, waited 2+ hours, still no restart.
I've never worked on such a machine. Not sure where to go next.
Thanks much,
cityboy.
