Hi Linda,
Recently I had a similar problem with my B&S lawn mowere, but it was mostly
running rich. Took it to the lawn mower man and he said it's a simple fix.
New carb!! He said the original cheap carbs are being eaten up with
assorted items now being used in todays gasoline. Said he: $59.95 and it
will be better than new. He was so right! I bit the bullet and now it uses
so much less gas, I can pay for it with savings of $3.00 a gallon gas!!
FWIW, Paul A
