Thanks Mike, hope so too... As far as any other name it goes by, you got me.. They just said it was a spring that was broken which controls the butterfly which I assume is the same as the choke (?)

Thanks Pascavone.. Makes sense as its starving for fuel at low rpms.. I'll have to hand it back over to the yard if its an air leak/gasket.. I'll see if I can rule out the OP 1st & go from there..

Thanks-
