http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/craftsman-forum/4327-twin-briggs-stalls.html-link to first problem post
The above link is to my first problem post. I have since rebuilt carb & fuel pump. On first try at starting, nothing ; no attempt to fire. I even used 50% either starting fluid , no fire. I opened up top of bowl and it was empty...? I manually filled it 1/2 full and tried again....This time it fired up and ran about 4 seconds....sounded real good....I was thinking,ok I did something wrong with fuel pump spring or gaskets....tore back down and looked things over.Re assembled and installed. This time I started with the float bowl full of fuel.....tried...no fire. I took out spark plug and couldn't see any spark from it. I put a screw driver in plug wire and I did get a faint spark out of it.....i'm going to try at dark with plug again and she if i can see something....ANY SUGGESTION.....PLEASE!!!!!!!
