Hey all! I've been on here a while... and even have the cart this motor is on listed in a few different spots. I finally pulled this cart out of the shed last month and it seemed to run as good as the day I put it away. After a few tanks of gas, and several yard doughnuts later, the engine will not rev up past half throttle. I have tried:
- fresh gas
- removing the air filter
- adjusting the carb screw
- adjusting the idle
Not any significant changes with any of them. It will rev all the way with the choke in the starting position, but even then its spotty at best. The motor sounds good, and is not blowing smoke, and when I do manage to get it fully rev'd it sounds healthy. Any suggestions to getting my engine back to normal?
It is in the 90's today... probably the hottest I've ever tried driving this.
This is the thread build... 18hp rigid frame
