Trying to a get a cheap MTD mower to run again after setting for two years. The Nikki carb would not work. I have two used Walbro carbs off different 14.5 Briggs.
Tried both of my used Walbro carbs. Both do the same thing. The mower starts good but will surge (like the carb is too lean) for about 30 seconds when the throttle is wide open till it warms up a little. After it warms up it runs and idles fine.
Is this normal? Also it is 40 degrees here today. wondering if it might just be too cool for it.
