I hooked the multi meter to the wire that goes to the carb bowl, it lite up when i turn on the key so i guess its getting power all the way to the carb. Can i assume now that something inside the carb/engine is preventing fuel from getting to piston?
Run down so far, changed spark plug...
its a craftsman t2600 247255880 model, its red. oil looks good, no knocks or bangs. just went dead and won't crank back up. I also took the air filter off thinking maybe it was too dirty, but it still wouldnt crank. it didnt look dirty. im glad to told me that if i have spark, then...
I was mowing and it died suddenly, it didnt even spudder first. I replaced spark plug and it didnt help, it has good spark to it. I pulled the fuel line past the fuel filter and got flow, i put gas in a glass jar and didnt see water. Engine will turn well so the battery is good and like i said...
