At what speed is it idling? Probably somewhere around 900 rpm is about
right?

11hp, 2 cyl. Runs fine at speed and idles smoothly but it dies when
reversed at low speeds; and when speeding up from an idle it's very
sluggish. What could be wrong?

TIA,

There is no tachometer but it no longer idles consistently with the
lever all the way back.
