Husqvarna 24hp Riding Lawn Mower Idles Erratically?
I have a Husqvarna (YTH2448) 24hp riding lawnmower that is giving me problems. When in drive, the engine lopes. When I engage the mowing deck it stops and the idle speed picks up, but when I have the speed/acceleration down low and mowing deck unengaged, it sounds like it's about to shut off. I've changed spark plugs (has 2), new fuel filter, changed the oil filter, cleaned air filter, vacuumed any debris out from around the motor and still have the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Depends on the carburetor. The ones I'm familiar with have 2 idle set screws. One for low idle, one for power. sounds like the low idle needs adjusting. If you do decide to play with the settings, 1) mark the screw head and carburetor before doing anything so you know where you started. and 2) keep track of the number of turns you give it. Pen and paper are a real good idea. Turn a quarter turn at a time. Start counter-clockwise.
