I have a Honda mower I bought over 30 years ago. When I bought it I had no job and not a penny to spare but I paid most of $500 for it and used it to mow my lawn and hired myself out to cut other folks lawns and kept the wolf from the door for a year until I got something better going. I want to use it to mow the slope around the east side of the tractor shed. Just a tad too steep for the ZTR. When I pulled it out it had not been run in about a year. I drained the gas and replaced it but it would not start on choke like it usually would. I used a little fluid and it fired up but it doesn't sound like it is on choke. If I drop it down to "HIGH" it stutters and stalls. It will run and cut grass in the choke position but does not want to keep running in any other position. Sputters and eventually stalls even when warmed up. The cable is moving freely and the levers on carb seem to be moving thru their full range. I am thinking the carb has an issue and that it is not getting as much fuel as it normally should even when in choke but, honestly, if I was a natural at this stuff I wouldn't have to ask. Anyone have any ideas of how I can get this running better? I have no experience with small engines.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
