ive got a 5hp briggs flathead, brand new, no governer. it has a tendency to die at idle, regardless of how hard ive been on the throttle. it isnt idling too low, and has a fairly new diaphragm, and i havent touched the carb, or the tuning. it has no idle mix adjuster, so i cant crank it rich, but light choke doesnt make a difference. it has a pulsa jet carb, but behaves nothing like my 3.5hp briggs, that dies after wot if its too lean. it did this after it ran low on fuel, but it didnt run out, and after filling it full, it self healed, for a short time. now it does this regardless of fuel level. im running fresh biden gas. it idles right below the clutch engage point. please help...
