Greetings,
I recently purchased a well used 2185 (hour meter was disconnected, but said 280 hours).
After changing all fluids, fuel filter, air cleaner, greasing her up and replacing some deck parts I mowed the lawn.
Next day I ran out of fuel.
I used some gas that I had laying around and the mower would not run, started up nicely but could not throttle up.
Emptied out the gas, replaced the fuel filter and filled it with new gas treated with a carb cleaner, no change.
Removed the carb, had it cleaned, new gasket etc. put it back on and while it seems somewhat better, it still refuses to throttle up, adjusting choke makes no difference.
Any ideas?
Al
