OKie dokie,
He's the lo-down on my machine. Replacing the PTO switch allowed for normal activation of the starter via key switch.
A few tweaks to the safety switch wiring and I had fire to the plug again and was able to run while squirting fuel in the carb but dies after I stop.
Pulled the carb and connected the fuel inlet to the hose from the tank (bypassing the pump) and, with the bowl removed, there was no fuel flow through the float valve. PUlled the float, blew the obstruction out and rested making sure that the flow also stopped with the float in the up position.
Reinstalled, couple of squirts of Petro for good measure and started her up.
Purrs like she did when new.
Thanks again to you EngineMan for the skematic and suggestions. You have saved me both Time and money!
Cheers!
Jim
