Just got this thing running after sorting for close to 2 years. Wound up having to replace the carb ($25 Chinese one) and put in a new battery, but as soon as I did that, the mower fired right up.
But it's running strangely. With the blades on, at any engine speed, the mower runs and drives great. However, with the blades off (again, not throttle dependent), the governor is bouncing all over the place.
My first thought was fuel starvation, but, no, of i hold the governor still, the motor runs fine. It's clearly getting enough fuel, at any speed, under any load, but the governor is screwy.
What would have caused this after sitting for 2 years. What can I adjust to make it stop?
