I have 1988 mtd riding lawn mower that bogs down when into thick grass.
This time of year it is about 75% thick grass. It has a BS 12HP engine on
it and I have tuned the carb properly. Is it a rebuild probably? Or can
something else be tried?


Yeah, make sure the blades are sharp. Even then, slow down in thick
grass. I have an 18 HP mower that will bog down in long thick grass if I
mow too fast.
