I Briggs single cylinder 19hp 31N807 0440. On a Troybilt zero turn with 42" deck.
I changed the cam, put everything back together. And it ran fine & dandy. My compressor must've been low on air when I tightened the PTO up, because after about 30 minutes of mowing, everything started vibrating. Found that & tightened & down with the bigger air gun.
Mowed for another hour or so, then all of a sudden, it lost all power. It didn't smoke. But would run at like a really low idle. Then stopped. Now it won't crank at all.
It's got spark to the plug. I thought it might be the fuel solenoid, so I snipped the nipple off of it.
The compression check only showed about 48lbs. (I'm not sure how much compression it's supposed to have)
Also, I noticed that after only about 1.5hrs the spark plug was black & wet. Although the oil is brand new. Oil is showing a little low on the dipstick from where it was when I first refilled the oil.
Oh yeah, and I took the flywheel off, and cleaned it, blew the dust & dirt out of the alternator. Then inspected the key/keeper.
The fuel pump is pumping. It's getting spark.
There's no stalling when it it turns over at all.
Any suggestions?
