K241 idle issues

[mstandish]

Hi all,

I have a 106 I just replaced the motor on with one from a 100. The idle is off. There is not much range in the throttle lever. I'm at full idle halfway up the scale. Adjusting it at the motor connection doesn't seem to do anything. When I mow, the motor bogs down as I hit taller grass. That never happened with the old motor to the extent it does with this one. Also seems there's more vibration than the old motor.

I had the carb off when replacing the motor. I had no gasket, so I used RTV silicone.

Any ideas on what to check? I think I've overheated tonight.
