I had a deteriorated sediment bowl gasket that got into my 123 carburetor. I was able to clean it up but now my engine is surging when the filter is on. When the filter is off, no surging.

Anyone have any ideas? I shot gumout into the idler circuit holes in the side of the carburetor while the engine was running but that did not fix the problem.

Try adjusting the high speed on the carburetor when you have the air filter on.
