I've got an older Toro lawn mower #20700 with a Tecumseh motor and a fixed main carb. I've rebuilt the carb (new float, seat and atospheric plug), cleaned it out. It doesn't want to run. At first all it did was run on what I could prime via the bulb. But after fiddling with it I got it to run buy placing my hand over the carb intake and regulating the vacume. I had the linkeage apart (governor and throttle) and I'm not sure if I've reassembled them correctly in sync. When running it wants to lope. There is no response to the throttle lever. Also it will only run when the air cleaner assemply is installed...I guess for vacume.
Any help would be appreciated. What can I do to tune this into a runner?
Thanks.
