I have my dads cub cadet 24in snowblower with a tecumseh engine. It always ran perfect and idled good. It has the 120 volt starter. It sat for a while before he passed away and as usual the gas dried up and corroded a little in the carb. I cleaned tank and carb out and it will start right up but surges at full throttle and gets a little better at lower speed but will only sometimes idle. Putting the auger in gear will smooth it some but not totally. It has no adjustment screws and I took the idle jet out and cleaned it with a torch tip cleaner. I poked out all passages with the wire too and gumouted and blew the heck out of it at least 5 times. It has the stupidest throttle lever spring hook up I've seen and I have no idea why its set up like it is. I can hold my finger against the governor arm and smooth out the hunting. I moved the spring to different holes with no improvement. No one else has touched it before me. I am about to use the sledge to adjust the carb! I scouted the net and tried most of the obvious fixes including sea foam. Is there anything im missing? Or should I just order a new carb? thy're pretty cheap now.
