I have a Lawn Boy Silver Series mower, 4-cycle engine, Model 10335. I am using fresh gasoline. Lately the mower has been surging - for example, when I cut the grass it alternately roars with power then idles for a few seconds. If I leave it running while standing still (say on the sidewalk) it does the same thing and eventually it quits running altogether.

Last season I brought it to a shop and he adjusted the governor (wherever that is) and it worked well. Last week I had to re-insert the spark plug wire into the cable (pierced the rubber shaft until it hit copper.

Any ideas what is wrong or how to fix it?

Thanks,
Larry
