    Briggs 12 hp riding mower
    I have a problem with a defective float needle and I bought a carb repari kit. Everything went OK except I am having trouble adjusing the carb to run without having to have the choke partially open. I see a float needle adj and an adjustment on top of the carb. Anyone have a manual or instruction on the initial carb adjustments?

    The float parallel to the carb body...

    High and low speed fuel needles... 1.5 turns from all the way in snug... if it doesn't have a screw in the bottom of the float bowls nut, then it has no high speed adjustment... requires cleaning the carb to do any difference then given all else has been checked.

Honda Riding Mower [ 2 Answers ]

I have a 1990 Honda 3813 riding mower. It starts fine, but once I engage the blade, the mower proceeds very slowly in 5th gear then dies out (chokes out). When I don't have the blade engaged, it moves fine. It also will not go up a slight incline without choking out. Any suggestions?
