I have a 7040. Mowing 3/4 throttle and all of a sudden my Rpms jump maybe 2/300 rpms for no reason. Eventually the rpms will work it's self down but when it acts up it's like engaging a turbo boost. I've changed my fuel filter once dirt black fluid came out. Running trk stop bio fuel blend. Would you try another filter change? Or do I need pump service work?

Sounds like dirty/bad fuel. Bio blend prob not good. Remove filter and blow back into the tank and try another filter.

...or possibly a little air getting into the fuel system.

Fuel restriction, or air leak on inlet side of fuel system. With running bio you may want to plan for a pump service in the off season, provided it makes it though the busy season.

My opinion only....if running hard and constant bio is ok for less cost but something that sets alot not so much. Some BTO's run bio during spring and fall but switch back to real fuel before fall work is done to have systems rid of bio. Cheaper isn't cheaper.
