Hello all,
I'm new to the site & am looking for help. I recycle used mowers & string trimmers for anyone needy & sometimes sell too. I have a B&S 6.0 hp that won't run with an air filter installed. The numbers are: 11A602 0125 E1 001012 FA. It is an overhead valve engine. So far I've tried: Rebuilt carb., set the valves, replaced main jet, reset governor, reset air gap. The plug is dry & black. I also pulled the head & scraped the carbon off the piston top & cleaned the valves.
This would suggest a rich condition but there are no adjustment screws on the carb at all. This engine starts fine but sputters when the air filter element is out. Put it in & it dies. It was doing this when I got it, so I haven't hurt anything, but I haven't fixed it either.
Mower personnel told me if the main jet didn't fix it, to bring it in. That kind of defeats the purpose. I don't want to spend a fortune on it to give away. I would appreciate any input you could give me. Thanks in advance.
