Mower engine surging and would run only at 1/2 choke. Not getting enough fuel.

In my case, removed front sheet metal (hood and grille) from mower to expose front of carb, where fuel pump is located. Easy disassembly of fuel pump (3 screws with 1/4\" hex heads). Take care with the two small, fine springs and the new pump diaphragm so they are replaced correctly. No need to disconnect vacuum hose from pump cover, but check it carefully for holes or cracks. Reassemble with new kit parts and you should be good to go. My engine ran well afterward and even started better than before.

Watched youtube videos of carb repairs for my tractor and engine. Disassembled the air filter housing and removed the choke cable from the carburetor. I removed the top of the carb and replaced the needle valve. I cleaned out the carb body but did not remove the carb from the intake manifold. I reassembled the carb top with new gasket s supplied in the kit. Reinstalled the air cleaner with a new filter and pre filter foam. I swapped in the new spark plugs and it started right up and runs with the choke all the way in! Job done!
