    There's still so much dead ash here that I can process it and it will be ready for the next year no issues. Now when I get longer to season wood, then I process it and usually let it sit outside for 9 months to a year before getting it in the shed.

    Sounds like something else to me...like a carb passage that is still not fully open, or something along those lines.
    I had a carb on a Honda GX340 that really fought me here a month or two back...I had the dumb thing apart 5-6 times until it stopped surging (unless the choke was left partially on) but I finally won!

    It's odd because after I reinstalled the carb in Spring, it started up and ran just fine. It was funky until warmed up, because the choke is the linkage that is wonky. When trying to start it a week or so ago, it would pop over when primed, then crap out and when though the muffler guy hit, it never washed to actually run more than the brief time. Pushing the primer I couldn't ever get it to catch and stay running. I pulled it over like 80-100 times. The carb was fully cleaned in a vibra tank.
