I have a 20 HP kohler command and I don't think that I'm getting all the power.

When I idle it down I have to do it very slow to keep it from back firing and as I engage it in gear it pulls down I have to stop let it idle back up and go and stop and go its just a few seconds to idle back up each time.

Do normal tune up: fresh filters oil and gas, especially air filter and spark plug.

I think that there is still a piece of trash in the idle circuit. Did you remove the adjusting screw when you cleaned it?
