No, that is not normal. It should idle. The problem is either the low speed adjustment is set too low or the clutch is clogged with dirt, causing the engine to stall.
Turn the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor out about a quarter turn. Check your manual for which is the idle adjustment
If the clutch is clogged up, you will need to take it to a small engine shop because it has to be disassembled and cleaned.

Most likely there is an idle speed adjustment. Look in your manual. It just needs to be set a little higher. Look at the engine, when you give it throttle you should see the throttle linkage move. There will be a screw with a spring on it. Turn that in a bit and it should idle just fine.

I landscaped for a few years and all the ones i ever used idled if working correctly. That's not to say they all ways worked correctly though. It could be a easy fix - like just adjusting a screw on the carburetor. If it has considerable wear on it by now you may just have to live with it, i know it is frustrating though.

They should idle, but mine does the same thing. Some times it will idle and other times it won't. It could be from old gas, too much oil in the mix, or most likely clogged air filter or clogged gas filter.

kinda sounds like the spark arrest er in side of the muffler I had the same problem
1 remove the muffler and take it apart somewhere between the muffler or the block of the motor is a small screen that gets carbon build up on it scrap it off or cut it out it worked with mine.
mine got so plugged that it would finally stop ruining

there's a solenoid that controls a sliding valve that feeds exhaust returned interior the intake manifold at diverse temps. and rpm's. This valve works an identical way that the previous EGR valves did. it looks yours isn't last adequate at idle. Did you get rid of the cat once you replaced your exhaust equipment? i'm hoping no longer with the aid of fact that critically differences inner temps. and your oxygen sensor isn't doing something. bypass on your Chevy broking and that they are going to verify the emissions equipment and pin factor your concern. sturdy success.
