I have an old JD SX 95 that I bought a few years ago. It is starting
to loose power gradually. It runs fine if teh mower deck is not
engaged but when you are mowing, it will loose power when I go side
ways accross a hill where I am tiliting to the right or left and also
some times when I tunr real fast. It runs OK but not great on level
ground with teh mower engaged. It is slowly getting worse over this
summer.
I think it is the carb, but it is a bear to get at so I'd like some
opinions before I have to tear the housing apart to get at. Maybe I
have some dirt or corrossion in the bowl?
I have checked the fuel pump and it is putting out lots of gas, I
also changed the gas filter and also put in new gas lines since the
old one was leaking. Also tried cleaning the carb throat with cleaner.
None of thsi helped at all
Would appreaciate any ideas.

The fuel level in the carb bowl is low thus starves the carb for fuel when
on an angle.
