Two stroke gas equipment needs a good long warm up. The heat is part of the deal. Set the choke on full chioke. Prime the bulb till you see the bulb is full. Turn the kill switch if you have one to "on" and fire it up. let it run at idle as long as it will or for a minute on this choke setting. If it dies restart and let warm up. When it is running ok but a little bit boggy then move the choke to open or half and give it some gas. If it responds then go to full open and crank it up a few revs. If it bogs or dies your unit will need service. The diaphragms in the carb are replaces as a kit and run about $6- 10. They are also easy to do if you can read and hold a screw driver. These go bad from fuel hardening every 14 months or so along with the primer bulb and hoses. Get all of this online from parts stores. Whole repair makes it like new forabout $15.00 or let someone do it for you for about $ 50.00.

I am having a problem with the trottle . when i cirst start the tractor i can trottle the engine up and down,

You may have a fuel restriction. If it has a fuel filter remove it and blow through it. If there is any more than slight resistance, replace the filter and try again.

I recently bought a husqvarna cz3815 zero turn 38" deck 15 horsepower used. it does an ok job but seems like could be better as far as power. i cant throttle up all the way when the blades are engaged,...

If you put the trottle lever all the way up that is the choke for just starting the engine. So 3/4 of the way is the highest rpm level.

MY YUKON SEEMS TO HESITATE SLIGHTLY WHEN YOUR LEAVING A STOPLIGHT AN BEGIN TO PRESS ACELORATOR

sounds like the throttle body is coked up, take the vehicle to your local mechanic and get a fuel injection flush with throttle body cleaning, replace fuel filter & you would think you got a new car again. you may find an increase in fuel economy.
