[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 104433, member: 2510"] It sounds like it might be a carb issue, when the governor tries to change throttle opening due to load, an obstructed jet or something isn't letting the additional fuel through. When you throttle back and reduce the load, it recovers, and will probably run all day at whatever throttle setting as long as no load change is introduced. If you can get a rebuild kit for the carb, give that a try, and blow out all the passages and check all jets and orifices. The corn gas that the green energy crooks have foisted upon us causes all kinds of problems in older carbs; varnish like deposits like to grow in small openings. That would contribute greatly to hard starting, as well. I've started using a bit of Seafoam in the fuel for small engines, and it seems to help, as my tiller started right up this spring. Some people slag it off as snake oil, but it doesn't do any harm and seems to help a bit, at least for my uses. [/QUOTE]
