thanks jim. iam pretty sure of it now. the issue is carb. iam going to change out filter this week after that pulling the carb apart. its so close . there are so many things fuel related to check on. was thinking about running some seafoam through it in a tank of gas. this can be put in the gas and crankcase. the guy I got this from had 3 of these and I think this was the neglected child. also found out that there was 2 springs on the carb. one operates throttle and gov the other is a dampening spring. not sure exactly what it does but I think it keeps gov from hunting . smooths it out.
thanks jim nicer weather next week hope to get it resolved soon. its 20,s here in ny/pa line.
