I found and bought this 15 hp M# 225-581503/S# 11387 for $100. I have put a new fuel pump diaphragm kit, head gasket, fuel lines, fuel float bowl and bowl gasket. It is hard to start, it takes about 25 pulls, sometime more to start. It won't idle but as long as I keep tiller handle as far as I can go to the left it will run. Once I put into gear, it will run just fine as long as I don't go back to idle. My question is what is going on with it? Is it losing the prime, getting air or is it the idle screw. I have adjusted the idle screw to fully close to fully open and it want do anything to the idle of the engine. I'm not sure what else to do to it, except get a complete carburetor kit to rebuild it. Anybody have any ideas.
