Leak down comes in around 8% on both cylinders Compression check, both cylinders are 123-125 psi 005" 1/4" Past TDC (initially I set them on TDC, not much difference) I replaced the throttle/linkage bracket below the carb, the old one was pretty tweeked from my attempted adjustments before the last tear down I did install the restrictor baffle this time just to see if it made a difference. Pulled the carb again and went through it again, no blocked passages, everything is clean, choke and throttle shafts are good (no excessive clearance) all new gaskets again. Below is a rundown of what I have done this time: Recently I pulled it in for some deck and drive belt issues and decided to tackle the running issue. It still ran the same, I used it most of the season like this. I also installed a new air filter, fuel filter, changed the oil, replaced the fuel pump and set the governor. When I got it, I pulled the carb, cleaned it and installed a new kit. I got the mower used from friend and it was having these issues when he parked it. It will not run smoothly at full throttle without 1/2 to 3/4 choke and of course is low on power.
