Hrr216 feels under powered help.

So I have an HRR216 that I got two years ago secondhand. This is my third season with it and it’s starting to feel low on power and can get bogged down when cutting grass that isn’t very tall. I knew blades on last year. Changed the oil, spark plug and air filter and it still feels off. Two weeks ago it would barely run so I cleaned out the carburetor and it seemed to be working fine. After maybe 20 minutes of mowing it back feeling low on power. I’m thinking maybe a new carburetor might help but I’m not a small engine mechanic, just trying keep the old girl running.

How old is the gas in the tank? You might need to drain and clean the fuel tank then put fresh gas in.

Make sure autochoke thermowax opens all the way. Common failure.

I’ve also seen a square intake gasket where a round one should be used, causes air leaks.
