We check out an issue with a John Deere X300 riding mower that runs rough, sounds bad when off choke, on high throttle, surges and is low on power.

It ends up being a choke and carburetor issue

We do not fully remove and clean the carburetor, we instead address it while it is on the machine

We go over the full diagnostic process and repair of the issue with tips and thought process

  • Good video, I usually find the idle circuits plugged, especially on the Honda type carburetors. Thanks for the video.
  • @joeh2253
    thanks again sir, the video is very helpful
  • Going over my zero turn I remembered something. Like to share….. I replace the battery hardware with sst 1/4-20 bolts but I include washers. You can tighten and not damage the posts. Hope this helps.
  • Hey how about touching on shop safety and PPE Like clean shop floors, tools grinding burrs and the hazards with can end a career and the worst, FIRES 🔥 😮😮😮
  • Good one, Martin! I just encountered my first frozen throttle control rod on a Kawasaki FS730V. No idea how the operators were able to use this Snapper ZT at full throttle all the time! I suspect they just didn’t know any better. Do you think the rod on yours swelled slightly due to ethanol fuel and that’s why you were able to get away with sanding it? I’d be concerned that the additional clearance after sanding might lead to an air leak, although on a choke rod it might not create a problem.
  • There's some kind of dead short. I can see it at the end of your video and have taken a screenshot. I don't know how to get it to you though.
  • Have you had any issues with your Spark Checkr? Mine likes to read "High" on a good coil. For example, I used it on an SV715 Kohler yesterday. It ran fine, but I was curious what the spark checkr would say, and it read both coils "high" Thanks and good video. I've experienced the surging issue on the same Kawi and it was the the #2 intake gasket leaking.
  • I just bought a new john deere x330 it will be stored in a unheated shed. Would a oil pan heater be something i should use since it will be used alot in winter in wisconsin

    Hi. I have a brand new Husqvarna ts142 and i used gas that i got for my snow blower from 2-3 months ago and it started rough idling after about 1.5hours of mowing. Can it run well for a bit then start to have issue because of "old gas"... shouldnt it have struggle since the very start. Thanks if you know :)
  • How come there was no fuel coming from the float when you had the bowl off ?
