I'm having a problem with my Scag wildcat that sputters when loaded or accelerating from idle. It seems to happen only when it's hot. Some things I have done already:
* Cleaned carb (which also fixed my above idle hunting)
* New plugs
* Adjusted valve lash (.006" per manufacturer)
When it sputters I tried applying choke to see if it was running lean. There was no difference, although it got worse. While it was sputtering through the seam on the muffler I saw it was spitting flames....
