John Deere STX30
I'm struggling this spring with my mower. Twice now I've somehow flooded the engine to the point I have gas pouring out of the air filter (top left in the video). I let it sit to dry out for the day and managed to get it started this evening. Now it's making some odd popping noise I've never heard before that you can hear in this video.
Any thoughts on what the noise may be, and what could be causing it to flood out on me?
I've been riding this thing for almost 20 years. Never had any issues with it besides batteries, drive belts, and blades dinged up, standard maintenance.
