I know it's not a chainsaw thing, but you guys are real good with small engines and I figured I'd get the most views here.
l got a Husqvarna push mower for free from a friend. It has a Briggs series 650 engine on it with electric start. The issue is it won't reach operated rpms. The governor supplies WOT but it stutters some and sounds like it might be at 2000-2400 or so RPM. I replaced the air filter (dirty) and spark plug (black) and put in fresh gas...didn't really change anything. BUT, if you pull the air filter out and run it without one, it seems to run perfect.
Ideas? Maybe just a dirty carb? The mower is only 1 or 2 years old.
