Ride on Mower, running rough (Briggs & Stratton)
Discussion
Hi there, hope some one can help.
My ride on mower has started rough running.
It's a CastelGarden, but the engine is Briggs & Stratton.
It starts fine but then starts missing (I think) that is what is happening.
I have a utube video here, as is best for anyone to hear what it is doing:

Any hints would be much appreiated.

Thank you for all your replies.
We only just moved into the house and so having to spend a little time every now and then on this, as have hundreds of boxes to empty. So my apologies if I don't respond quickly!
Took air filter off, still same problem (put it back on).
I took fuel pipe from carb, lots fuel getting through filter. Emptied and refilled tank.
I have noticed something. There is a lever moving in sympathy with the engine going 'up and down'. It moves at same timing. It moves by itself, so is that the Governor?
Maybe someone can let me know. Image with arrow attached:
If that is the Governor then would that move because of the fault, or is it part of the fault?
Any responses, as ever, appreciated, I will try and reply ASAP.

Sorry for re-animating this thread but realised I didn't report back after fixing the problem.
I took the carb to pieces! A pretty simple affair, not that hard.
I dismantled it. Cleaned as best I can all parts. I did find (as others suggested) there was 'crud' in the bottom fuel bowl.
Put back together. It has worked correctly since.
Thank you for all your help.
