   Motor is wheezing, as if it's breathing

   I had the same issue last year with the B&S engine on my self-propelled.   
      
   Not a 'wheezing' as I interpret it, but the up & down RPMs.  Finally, it would   
   run   
   only while I was bent over and pressing the gas prime bulb - made mowing the   
   lawn interesting, to say the least! :D   Does yours run smoother if you hold   
   in the   
   primer while it is running.   
      
   My local small engine shop cleaned a lot of dirt & gummed up grime out of the   
   carburetor and the fuel intake jets on my machine.  Those fuel intakes are   
   almost   
   as small as the period on your screen  .   They can gum up easy!   
      
   Have someone take a look at that aspect of it.
