Need some expert advice here. Craftsman LT4000 with 18hp b&s twin.
I've had it for a few years, its a '93 but in very good shape. When I first got it, it ran ok but surged really bad at most any throttle position. I richened up the carb a bit and it runs great, has ever since. It has all tune up stuff done, but nothing cured the problem, which is terribly offensive exhaust.
The older lady I bought I from had the engine replaced due to original blowing up, I'm guessing from lack of pm.
I almost hate using it because I have to wash my clothes or leave them hanging outside to air out after I mow or blow snow. Can't figure out why it's like that, the plugs look perfect, and it runs really good, no backfire, starts right up, yada yada.
Any ideas why it stinks so bad? Or how to go about fixing? Smells rich to me but no symptoms and like I said, it runs fantastic other than the stink.
Any help greatly appreciated.
