    1994 lt craftman mower
    Was running fine but now sputters when on and eventually dies. I cannot full throttle because it will die. When middle to low throttle it lacks power and it sputters.

    When was the last time you checked or replaced the air filter on this unit? Has you made sure you have no water in the tank after it was stored for the winter?

    Time to drop the carb bowl and cleanit and also insure the float and needle are doing their job. If not sure how to do that let us know
