[brandon dillon]

I HAVE A Z425 JOHN DEERE WITH A 23HP BRIGGS ON IT . SOMEHOW THE FLOAT GOT STUCK THE OTHER DAY AND DRAINED THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK. SO I TOOK THE CARB OFF AND CLEANED IT WILL GOOD, PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER
EVERYTHING RAN FIND. THE NEXT DAY I GO TO CRANK IT,AND IT WON'T START SO I TOOK THE BOWL OFF AND CHECKED EVERYTHING , AND THEN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. AND IT RAN FINE AGAIN. THE DAY AFTER THAT SAME THING WON'T START
SO I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT HAS GOOD SPARK, THE FUEL PUMP IS WORKING,THERE IS FUEL IN THE BOWL, THE FUEL SOLENID IS WORKIN, I BYPASS THE FUEL SOLENID TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEMAND ITS NOT. NOT REALLY SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

First thing please refrain from typing in capital letters it makes it difficult to read and is considered as shouting.

Now your problem is either the float height is just a tad too low or the pilot fuel passage is dirty or you are doing up the float bowl too hard or the cut off solenoid is not fully retracting.

Try replacing the shut off solenoid with a simple bowl nut.
If that fixes the problem then the solenoid will need to be replaced.
Bad bit is they are really expensive and in some juristriction the EPA Nazis are quite anal about bypassing this "essential life saving device" with correspondingly high penalties for doing so.
Down here our shinny bums have bigger fish to fry se we can just cut the plungers off without any worry.
