Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums, and well, new to owning my own lawnmower, and I've got a question regarding my Honda HRR2169VYA mower.
I bought it at the end of last season, after purchasing a home, and used it twice before running the gas empty and storing it for the winter. It worked as it should. It also worked find at the beginning of this season, probably the first 4-6 mowings.
Then it started this idle surging problem. There's even a tiny hint of the surge at times when its running full RPM, but it still cuts the grass. However, moving the throttle lever away from fast (rabbit) and toward slow (turtle) does kill the engine pretty fast with almost not change in RPM before dying. I haven't really had it long enough to be certain, but it may not handle longer grass as well as it did a couple months ago, even though it gets through it.
The carburetor is clean. I took it apart, cleaned it and blew it out, even though everything was already appeared "sparkling" clean and I could clearly see through all holes in both jet nozzles (upper and lower I'll call them). I reassembled it and nothing changed - still pulses at idle.
I'm looking for advice and a next step on how to proceed. I'd love to see a photo or better yet, schematic, of the part if anyone has one (just to be sure a screw isn't missing or something, as I've read that can be the case). I really thought I'd run into a solution online without having to post, as you almost never face a problem like this that someone else hasn't already fixed, but I've done a lot of searching and nothing has been the answer so far.
[Now a more "advanced" question. I'm concerned that the 2nd time I re-installed the carburetor I stripped the internal threads for one of the long bolts. It fits snug enough to run, in the same surging way as before, but I'm scared I've wrecked the eventual life of my mower already. I have a tap and die set. Anyone have experience or a suggestion on how to correct or repair this? I can't imagine re-tapping the hole does much good when the material is already damaged, and I'm not sure if any type of thread locker would help or not in this situation. Is it even possible to get a different spec bolt and re-tap a hole like this?]
Thanks everyone. Considering my first mower of the same model was a lemon right at the bat, and returned, I've got a feeling I'll be hanging around here a lot.
