Ok I just got done installing a carburetor that I sent off to have it rebuilt. I had it serviced 2 yrs ago at a Simplicity/Ferris dealer and when I picked it up they rebuilt it but couldn't understand why it was running rough and was surging at idle. I don't know why they even worked on that as it was running fine until they worked on it and I had it there for other issues. The engine is not original to this mower so there was some wiring and charging issues which is mostly why I took it there. I have two videos, the 1st is the day I bought the mower and got it running which shows how good it was, the 2nd video is after I installed the other carburetor, sorry I didn't take a video of it surging or how poorly it was running at idle. I also noticed when removing the carb, I compared the linkage to a picture that I found online and it was installed all kinds of wrong and it was no wonder it wouldn't run properly, they just rebuilt the carb. and not the engine.
This is a Deutz-Allis 613H w/ 18 hp Briggs Opposed Twin, its the same as a Simplicity 5212.5 & 5216 models.
The first picture shows how the linkage was reinstalled at the dealer.
This shows how it's supposed to be.
First video of it after I brought it home and got it running, wasn't running when I made the deal but after cleaning the battery connections and charging the battery it ran like a champ.
