My brother said he had a new carb kit put in but it still is the same.
Starts fine, idles, press the throttle at all and it dies.

I know there are some tweaks to make on settings and screws but is it
obvious from my description where one might start?

With my lawn mower running like this, it was the ignition coil. Took two
trips to a shop to get it fixed ;(
