(Toro) Suzuki 2-cycle engine question

I have a Toro 2 cycle with the Suzuke engine. Great engine. BUT!! When it is gear with the blade engaged and going forward, the engine goes up and down, up and down, up and down. VARoooom. VARoooom. VARoooom. If the blade isn't engaged it will self propel fine. Idle fine. Run at high speed fine. But engage the blade, up and down, up and down, up and down. Any small engine repair readers that might have a fix??

It is a lawn mower and it does have a 5 HP Suzuki engine in it.

Hi, I am not much of a engine expert but from my experience with Toro 2 cycle snow blower, when it does that, needed carb. adjustment. Good luck, Tony

They came out in the mid-80's. I used to have one. Was a GTS line.

It is called hunting, adjust the high speed mixture screw a little richer, should take care of it. Dave

This is called "hunting". Or at least when a Tecumesh does it, that's what it's called.

Look for small coil spring about two inches long that hooks to the throttle. Find a Honda dealer, go buy another one, replace that spring.

Where is this screw? The only one I can see is the idle screw.

THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM! NO MIXTURE ADJUSTMENTS ANYMORE DUE TO THE EPA.

Fucking treehuggers.

If you don't have a second adjustment screw visible it may be covered with a plug to prevent you from destroying the planet. If you can get a parts diagram of your carb you should be able to see where it is. Your other options are get a carb rebuild kit, or take existing carb and shove it up a tree huggers ass. Dave
