[Linda]

Hi, I'm Linda. My baby is sick. I have a 2001 4X2 with the 10hp Kawi motor.
The carb has been cleaned, new plug, new fuel [high test], and the head was taken off and cleaned valves and everything looked okay. But, put it all back together and it still wont accelerate. It will barely start now with the foot feed to the floor. A friend shot starting fluid in the carb and it seem to have back pressure. We are stumped and I can't afford the thousands to pay the JD shop. Any help will be deeply appreciated..thanks, Linda.

Air Restrictor

Is the air flow restrictor still in place. It is a small platic fitting that goes on the end of the air cleaner intake that reduces the intake to 3/4". If you are missing it, a quick test to see if is the problem, cover 1/2 the air intake opening of the air cleaner with duct tape.
