i had a john deer that was sluggish when new. i ran it like that for a long time. even tried adjusting the carb but they had these plastic things on there that limited the adjustment. well those had to go. it was running waaay too rich. it also gummed up the muffler. cleaned it, leaned it and it runs like a scalded dog. had it for 10-15 yrs now.

this crappy gas has not been good for it.

hmmmm......mine does go through the gas very quickly...

thanks guys!

The only thing that will solve it is to install a new carb

been my experience as well....RedMax blower tho. Cheap and easy to do.

those carbs are really cool. i had to go thru the one on my chain saw. i wont say it was perfect when i was done but i did get the no idle problem fixed, so they can be repaired.
trying to rember it. i think it used the vacuum from the piston going up and down as a fuel pump inside the carb.

once again that ethenol gas was hell on that one too.
