Well, Changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, choke cable and added seafoam to the gas. I didn't have time to do the direct spray into the carb Sunday night, I'm going to try to do that this weekend. So far the wife says it's running great for chores and she was very happy for the new choke cable as the old one (despite being less than a year old) was getting sticky and hard to pull in and out. new one is like hot knife through butter.
We'll see how it goes. Thanks for your help everyone.
rjok let me know when you get that larger jet in, I'd be curious what you think, my biggest complaint right now is that I seem to lack staying power when going up hill and it doesn't take long for the CVT to slip. I'm not sure why as it didn't used to have that issue, I've just replaced the driven clutch and replaced the drive clutch a year ago, once I'm sure all the engine issues are straightened out I'll probably replace the belt again, because every time it slips it's hard on the belt, the belts are $70 each so I'd like to figure out how to better preserve those or keep them engaged when slogging through mud or going up hill.
