motor will idle, when you increase throttle it stays at idel speed. Carburetor was cleaned, fuel pump looks like it is working. Oil is ok. All throttle rods are conected. I have sprayed starting fluid in the carburetor and the speed will not increase. When the hose is off the fuel pump fuel is being pumped. there is a wire at the bottom of the carbutor I don't what electrial part this is. The other day I started it up and it ran at full thorttle like it should. So I strated cutting with it, went about a 100 feet and it died out started it again but it wound only idle, withe the thrittle at fast the engine would not increase speed. I have taken the air filter off and it still idles no speed. I dont know if this elecctrail or fuel problem. It is a Briggs & Stratton 20 hp motor on a ridding tractor. please help me
Answers:
Have you checked the throttle cable to make sure it is attached to the linkage on the carburetor?
Other answers:
The throttle linkage may need adjusted. It could have slipped. You should be able to move the linkage with your finger or a screwdriver. If it throttles up then it's the linkage, if not we look elsewhere.

Is exhaust open? Is air intake plugged or restricted, only other thing could be -not getting enuff gas.
Small engines have govener springs and linkage that controll the speed. A spring is stretched or broken or the linkage is bound up.
