Recently, I've noticed that it takes more and more open throttle to start it.
And, after it starts....if the throttle is closed, it may not stay running.
I figured the carburetor just needed a good scrubbing.
Took it apart....didn't find anything in particular that looked plugged.
But, used carburetor cleaner in all the passage ways....for good measure.
During reassembly, I noticed that there seems to be a lot of play (up and down)
in the throttle wire assembly. Could this be causing the trouble?
The throttle lever needs to be moved up quite a bit before the throttle wire
assembly actually moves. Can the throttle wire "stretch" over time?
The part is still available.
