I cleaned the carb today. It appeared to be clean, but I cleaned it all anyway. Checked to see if needle valve worked and it did. Put it all back to gether. Didn't have new gaskets, so put a thin coat of wheel bearing grease on them and tightened it down very tight. Backed the high speed jet out three turns, put it all back and fired it up. Ran great, no further adjustments needed so far. Took it around the field with the 6 foot mower going, in wet thick johnson and bahaia grass, weeds, etc. it did fine. Got up to running temp, but only worked it for about a half hour, but it ran the best it has for a long time. Maybe it's getting ready to blow?
Any way, for now it appears the carb was the problem. I'll find out the next 105 F day we get, like Friday. I hope this is a cure, time will tell.
