    Won't Idle.
    My 11-12 Year old Craftsman 14hp rider will not idle properly. If I throttle all the way down, it will die. It runs fine while mowing. Any ideas?

    Before you try any repair add some SeaFoam or comparable carb cleaner to your tank. Mow the yard a few times to see if this cleans out any crud and always start the season with fresh fuel not stored over the winter.
