Have a hustler zero turn that acted the same as yours. I replaced the fuel filter, plugs, gas flush etc. Ran perfect after a carb cleaning.
Good point! If it sat for a while it could have varnished the carb and plugged the idle and main jets a bit causing it to idle poorly and not throttle up.

Motion,
Try closing the choke and see if it helps the idle. It could be getting too much air and if the idle is plugged could be causing it to run poorly. Then throttle up. If it stumbles you know you're lean.
