I have a Cub with a 12 horse Onan. It surges when you try to idle it down and dies before it will idle completely down. Dirt in the carb? I don't know and was hoping someone could shed some light. Any comments would be appreciated.

Your replies are very much appreciated. Guess I'll start with the simplest solutions first and work from there.
Thank you.

In no particular order:

1.) blocked gas cap vent
2.) clogged sediment bowl/sediment bowl screen
3.) fuel line clog
4.) improper float adjustment
5.) idle screw setting not correct (too lean)
6.) dirty carb...needs soaked in carb cleaner/rebuilt
7.) clogged air filter

are you sure its a onan motor or kohler. at any rate try spraying carb cleaner all over the carb to clean all the grime off it. the idle air bleeds are probably clogged
