Hello all -
I have a Briggs 5.5hp engine on my Rototiller (Model 137202-1134-E1)
I have just finished putting all new gaskets and a diaphragm on the carb after cleaning it.
The problem is that it surges up and down and the rpm's don't seem to be very high. It stays running no problem other than the surge. And as soon as I pull the throttle back a little it dies. I can see the linkage move that is connected to the governor when it does this "surge".
Also, in case this is related. The throttle lever moves very easily so I have to hold it with a bungee cord in the full throttle position.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
