Thank you for this video brother. I was ready to trash my mower and get a new one. You have given me new inspiration. 😃

I'm glad this was inspirational and hope you get it figured out! Thank you for watching and the kind comment.

I have been working on my Troybuilt mower for weeks, as of today still without sucess. This is far an above the absolute BEST video on these Briggs carburetors yet. No body else has even seemed to know exactly what that solenoid is. I have removed, cleaned my carb twice now even thought it was very clean. I removed the float with that """!!** tiny damn pin, cleaned out everything as far as you can go. My mower just died halfway thru the job late last fall but i even easily drain my gas all through from the tank out of where it attaches to the carburetor. Damn MTD used rtv, or some kinda glue on the plug to the solenoid so my grey wire came out of the plug an dont wanna go back in, but ill get it. I think thanks to you my whole focus is now on that solenoid. Your info an teaching manner is top notch.

Thanks. Solenoid did work, took it out, it was stuck. Forced it up and down a couple of times. Fixed the problem. Runs great now.

This maybe the problem I have with my Craftsman Tractor. It will turn over but does not start. I'll walk through it using your techniques. Thank You!

Thanks my one handed friend, your clear and easy to understand, my R110 sat for a while until my health condition improved so I could replace the rack and pinion steering I dinged up going thru my gate to the backyard. I might have a stuck or bad solenoid. Thanks for the instructional video. Let you know how it turns out!

Exactly what I needed. Thank you! When I tested my solenoid I got power but no click. I removed it and found the stem that goes up and down was rusted shut. Since I was also getting tons of gas in my oil, I watched your other video as well. Found a full carburetor kit on Amazon that comes with a new solenoid for $24 that will hopefully fix my issues. If not, I'm out $24, but worth it to suss this thing out. 🤞

Thanks for the video Brad, I need to check out my John deere tractor for that and I'm buying metric wrenches, I'll catch ya on the next one.

Brilliant video I’ve tried everything so I’ll check this next. Thank you

thanks for the lesson

Great video! Thanks. My knowledge is limited and a new spark plug is always good. I probably would spray carb starter fluid in carb to see if will start. If starts pretty sure main problem is fuel/carb.

Nice job. Thanks for the video.

I have a craftsman lt 1500 and it won’t stay in park . Also it cranks slow and actually started once. I was able to cut grass. A week later slow crank no start, so I replaced spark plug and am replacing starter solenoid and hopefully that is the problem. I don’t believe I heard a clicking in the fuel solenoid either so I will have to check it out as well. Thanks for any recommendations you may have

What I’ve done to mine I took it off and grind it off screwed it back in and my lawnmower started right up saved all that money and I put a fuel shut off valve on it

I have an '08 tractor with a 15.5 Briggs. Came with a Nikki carb that performed erratically. Lots of folks don't like them. Replaced it with a Walbro off an even older Murray & it runs fine. The carb in your video looks like the Walbro style. Did Briggs start using them in later models?

What would have been next step? Mine doesn’t want to turnover, almost sounds like battery is struggling, but I charged it up and still having issues.

Same problem I had with my john deere. Same motor afaik, 1cyl briggs & stratton. My solenoid burned out, happened in the middle of a cut, couldn't figure it out until I looked closely at the clip going into the solenoid and noticed what looked like melted black plastic. No click coming from the solenoid. Had to order the replacement part which was #AUC11057. Like $75 bucks or something, still waiting to get it in. Pain in the ass lol. I don't know what would've caused it to overheat like that. Tractor isn't that old, about 160 hours.

What is your opinion about cutting the tip of the fuel solenoid off to allow machine to start? I have done it in the past with no negative results that I am aware of. I always throttle down before shutting engine off.

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

10 ай бұрын

Yes, you can cut the tip off. I run a business so that is not an option (lability reasons) and throttling down is what everyone should do but it a lot of people do not.

I watched this video because I'm wanting to bypass the clutch safety. Had a difficult time locating the darned thing on the mower. As an added note, I only have one leg. Lost a leg due to a faulty electric can opener. Now, when I go swimming...I just swim in circles. *Note: amputation was actually caused by a head on motorcycle collision when an old lady pulled into my lane...in a 1962 Chrysler.

Hi there I have no power going to fuel solenoid but have power everywhere else. Checked all connections and they look fine, where should I look next? Thanks! I Cranks but won't start.

You found your problem. Now you just have to find out why you don’t have power to that wire? Could be many possibilities from bad wire too bad ignition switch but to correctly diagnose it you would need a 12 V meter or test light.

​@@hellapellanyc6465 Just a suggestion, if you remove the valve, cut the tip off put the valve back in. It may back fire when you shut it off. If you back off the Idle screw so when you move it to Idle it will die without back fire. Again just a suggestion. Good luck 😊

On my she try to start whit spray but nothing..what is problem ..carburator maybe is dirty

I read somewhere that the power to the solenoid is routed through the seat safety switch and if you disable that switch the solenoid will not work. Is this true?

Also curious

gunna check this on my 2014 Craftsman T1000 now. It was runing great, stalled out, I pushed it home, & now won't start. I checked fuel its getting to carb, & checked spark already. Would this be my issue too, or do i have a differnt problem?🤔 Gunna also pull carb off, & get it ultrasonic cleaned quick. I will also probably set the valves too, as soon as i find feeler guages. awesone vid

Did you figure it out? Check to make sure your gas cap vent is letting air into your gas tank? Also this video may help but this is a guess. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i2icucmvZbKriaw.html. Without seeing the machine to diagnose it is impossible to diagnose correctly.

I have a Craftsman lawn tractor given to me and the gas tank is under the seat and I am not getting any gas up to the carburetor. Is there a fuel pump on these?

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

Ай бұрын

If the gas tank is under the seat then yes you should have a fuel pump. what is the model of your machine? If it is a craftsman, there is a model number underneath the seat. It should have three numbers than a dot then more numbers. If you can get me those numbers, I can look to see what kind of motor is on your machine and try and give you pointers. I can Say if you have a twin cylinder engine and it is a Briggs & Stratton sometimes you have to make sure you hold the choke in the on position and sometimes you have to crank a very long time to get the fuel to get pulled from the gas tank. Also make sure you have a full tank of gas.

$20 on Amazon for whole carb

That's a good video. Had a similar problem with a Kohler V twin. I was able to take the valve out, take the end out put it back together and it works fine now.

Set them valves too if needed.

Mine won't even crank. Just put a new battery in it. When i turn the key it just goes "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr"
