    20 hp briggs and stratton twin II motor
    Starts to run slow then fast for a minute after it gets warmed up then dies & backfires like a gunshot after it is no longer running.

    Also, brand new battery and will only start if jumped from my car. New carb on it, good plugs. Just crazy power fluctuations when warmed up like someone is moving the throttle back and forth.

    Clarke
