I"m reworking a JD 175 with a 14 hp Kawasaki engine that sat up for 2 years. I"ve gotten most problems ironed out except one. The engine "lopes" or "surges" very badly at idle to half speed. Anything above half all the way up to full speed it clears out and runs smothly.
I think it"s the carb due to sitting but would like to know if anyone thinks there might be something else to look for.
