I've got a Huskee riding mower, 15.5 Hp, Tecumseh engine. Lately I have to
have the choke pulled out about 1\3 to keep it running. I've replaced the
plug, cleaned the air-cleaner, replaced the gas line filter. I've sprayed
about a 1\3 can of carb cleaner into the carb with the engine running. No
improvement so far. Any suggestions on what to try next?

Thanks


Try all of the above suggestions but first make sure that your fuel is good.
If it was in the tank and or your gas can over the winter (meaning you
probably bought it sometime last summer) it should be the first thing to
check.
Been there done that, all of the usual fixes to no avail and then changed
gas to cure the problem, DOH! Man did I feel dumb.
