Friday I was mowing with the 140 for the first time since it was re-built. It just didn't seem to be producing the power it should. When I put the tach on it, I only got a little over 2900 rpm. I went over the governor settings and it seems to be a carburetor problem. It's running smooth, but the most I can get out of it is about 3100 with the throttle shaft against the stop. The throttle shaft is pretty badly worn, REALLY loose. Could that be the cause?
140 Carb seems to have Issues or maybe It's me
