a cheap and easy way to kill and engine ....install a fuel line shutoff valve. I place one close to the carb. I do this because I want to engine to use up all of the fuel in the bowl when not in use. Like long storage over winter months. It makes a big difference not letting fuel just sit...

you don't have to be an electrical engineer (or a 25 year "briggs" specialist, like the jackwagon in this thread), to understand how to use a volt meter and measure volts and amps. Try it sometimes... it's 12 volts to the fuel solenoid....it's far below one amp...it IS NOT PART OF THE CHARGING...

if it starts and runs and there is no other performance problems other than just a hard pull start...then it's probably going to be either and overfilled oil...or there is some trash wrapped around the mower blades/spindle. I am assuming there is no blade engagement switch (like a PTO) on this...

lol...its the fuel solenoid....do you even know what an electrical circuit IS for a fuel solenoid? in order for the solenoid TO OPERATE it must be completed to GROUND....negative ground CHASSIS. AND the circuit is part of the ignition. Without it, the ignition switch will NOT WORK. So to...

just curious to ask: what made you think the keyway/woodruff was the problem with timing? while it can happen, it's actually quite rare to see a keyway fail and slip. there are a few things you can do to diagnose a slipped or sloppy keyway. lock the flywheel down (anchor the blades so they...

testing the anti back fire fuel solenoid: remove the solenoid. It's has a narrow two flat "bolt"...I use a slim wrench from router tool. You can also use a slim open wrench...some folks grind them down to make them slim enough to fit. If you have a swissor style wire stripper, you can use...

I have new plugs inbound. I have the NGK OEM spec plugs right now, but it's a cheap and easy troubleshooting no doubt about it. Even if this isn't the problem I can always use a set of spares in the toolbox. Thanks!

ahhh.. I did not think about that. I will look at the wiring circuit for the talk back diode. Maybe both coil and connected to a single ground point? And if one of the coils is bad, then this causes surging but not when one of the coil plug wires is removed. that kind of makes sense. Like a...

Here is the issue. (before commenting/reply, please read the items I have replaced and checked already.) Issue: FR691V V twin motor starts up fine. When it starts, it begins to surge. RPM goes up and down. Governor rotates up and down. This surging happened no matter if at idle or at full...
