19.5 HP (John Deere LA110)
Engine model 31P677 0130 E1
Turns over several times (15-20x) before engine finally starts. Once it starts, will stay running on full choke for a few seconds before cutting out. Moving throttle out of choke and between idle and full open does not help. The cutoff seems like it is starved for fuel, since leaving the choke on does not cause the typical shaking and thick exhaust.
Have done the following:
- new fuel pump and filter (filter is full)
- compressed air through fuel line from tank to eliminate any debris
- cleaned fuel line to carb
- cleaned vacuum line to fuel pump
- installed new carb (fuel solenoid clicks on key turn)
- installed new head gasket
- checked valves/push rods/rocker arms
Any other ideas on why this engine will not stay on? Thanks in advance.
