Hey all, It's been awhile since you solved my last troubles and I'm back with a new one.
Troy Built 42" rider
Briggs 18hp Twin II
Model 42A707
Type 2238E1
Code 9908305A
When I started it this year for the first time it ran rough for about a minute and then smoothed out and ran fine for about three hours until my deck belt broke. When I say "fine" I should mention that for the last two summers I've had to run it with the choke a little out to keep it running.
Got the new belt the next weekend and went to start it and nothing. I didn't seem to be drawing any fuel to the carb. If I put fuel directly into the carb it will start and run until it uses the fuel that was poured in.
Checked fuel line and filter and fuel runs freely all the way to the carb. I just rebuilt the carb including the fuel pump diaphragms and got my hopes up that that would fix it but it's still the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
