You can buy a box of 10 belts from the same manufacturer, same size and model number. NONE will be the same size. It's really bad doing AC air handler work with multiple belts showing this size mismatch.

One crack in the pulse line for example will cause the fuel pump not to work. Replaced ALL the fuel lines from tank to carb inlet. Pull the fuel tanks and visually check they are clean and CLEAR like new ones.

Used mowers, everything will have to be gone through. It all starts here. Which can spout/nozzle do you have? Left and middle are good. Far right spout is a no-no.

Do the next guy a favor. RTV is so old news. Better non hardening sealants out there now. Also cheaper than RTV.

Hoping you meant 0.006" and not 6mm. Please confirm.

Looks like some kids have been mud bogging with it. Man she is dirty. All that dirt holding water rusting and shorting parts out. I see it too. Clean it like a new engine block. Scrub brushes and degreaser. Backpack blower or shop air after she is all clean. All that mud and grit encapsulates...

Guessing one had never thought about CLEANING that mower, at all. Cooling fins are probably slimed over. Little Turtle Wax on the deck. Little tire dressing on the tires. Proper air inflation is good too.

Trash in the fuel tank. It all starts here....... What type fuel can spout/nozzle do you have? Left, middle or right?

Gear slipping = not good.

Could of used the wrong tester like for a car engine. ?? 100psi is getting low as Star Tech said.

Did you apply some type of filter on that image file or what? Back the lens away and retake the shot. Looks encrypted to me LOL.

Did you use a tester for car engines or small engines? Most likely the cam has a compression release so you can start it easier. 50 is fine for a Briggs. Unless it is smoking profusely leave it alone. I'd be more worried about keeping the cooling fins CLEAN and the oil ON the FULL mark. What...

Gas caps on pulsa prime carbs are normally wide open. Have large holes in the cap. What do YOU think the engine is telling you?? It wants more what?? I highly doubt it is a real deal Briggs carb. Maybe there are some new old stock carbs still out there? Does it say Briggs and Stratton on the...

Push mowers for you and the entire family. Great way to spend more time with the family. You will all love the free exercise too. Get about 4 or 5 pushers out there and in no time the grass is cut. Much easier to work on. Use way less fuel than some car priced 0 turn. Lord knows we all could...

Tells me for sure a backpack. You will be doing hand swapping/tossing/cramping exercises constantly with a yard that size. I have a 1/3 of an acre in the city. Would never even look at a hand job. Course I'm on the end of the block with three streets to edge and such. I actually have a Ryobi...

Something is not making sense here. What is the pump amp draw engine on and off? Getting crazy values engine on. DC amp clamp time.

Wondering if this is some added on pump? Sounds like she is massively drawing the battery down.

Tells me the "new" regulator is bad. Diodes are leaking/conducting. Send it back to China.

Which one of these fuel can spouts/nozzles do you have? This is where it alllllll starts.

Something popping a 20 amp fuse is big. Some wire probably inside a connector has a bad connection. Takes 2 minutes to get hot cranking up the resistance in said charging circuit smashing the fuse. What are we talking about here? Charging coil, regulator, wire and connectors? Is the regulator...

Never seen any coil recommendation of 11. Most are 0.006" to 0.010". If you knew how weak these coils really are you might set it for 0.006". Take a measuring caliper to some junk mail. Most are way over 6 thou. Old wisdom was use a business card. Those can be over 20 thou.

Are you going to ask why it was not starting cold? Or just wanted a free fix?

Wound up in a thrift store. Tells me the carb diaphragm is hard as a carp needing replaced.

Which cable specifically? Take a picture of it and post it here. Sounds like a loose and or corroded connector??

How large of a gap did the spark jump in LOW light conditions? New plug doesn't mean it works. New doesn't mean new these days. Recommend non resistor plugs for small engines. Coils are normally so weak, barely enough spark to run compared to car/truck ignitions for sure. If the engine dies it...

That is pretty far. If you can get a 1/4 of a turn that is pushing it. Most are what 13-15ft lbs of torque? Heads are aluminum.

RTV is so yesterday. People are brainwashed into using it. Thinking it is the only sealant out there. Also cheaper on the wallet. Been talking about a better way of doing chores like this. A non hardening sealant made for oily flanges. No scrape clean ups. Way easier than any RTV of choice...

Waiting on the "go buy some grade 8 or tungsten carbide bolts" crowd LOL. (y) Maybe some ARP 9000 wonder bolts. Sounds like the bolts are not tight enough. Mowers have a ton of vibration and get bumped around during mowing. Buy new bolts and orange thread lock them in. Proper torque spec might...

One could use an old inductive timing light to "see" spark down the plug wire. Doesn't mean there is enough spark to run. Need an open gap tester or a simple 12 volt DC test light. Need minimum 0.25" spark jumping gap to run.

Stop shopping on amazon and fleabay. Plugs are highly pirated in the motherland (China).

Have a welder fix them back. Drop them off at your local vo-tech or high school welding shop.

Why don't you clean the cooling fins so it doesn't do this? Heard somewhere you are to clean the fins at least yearly or more often. Can't recall where it was.

Not in 1992. These were the real Snappers that have cut more grass than Willie Nelson has seen. "Walmart began selling Snapper-labeled mowers on January 17, 2013, following an announcement by owner Briggs & Stratton."

I'm unfamiliar to this machine. What is that red SQUARE light that is ON all the time to the right of the throttle lever?

So you knowing this tid bit, take a DC amp clamp around the red wire to the fuel pump solenoid what ever this is supposed to be. Measure the amp draw at a min 30 and 2 minutes in. Any drastic increases will show you the way. Or does it take 2 minutes for "something" to get hot, increasing the...

I would start there too. (y)

I have no clue about your carb or engine. Would guess at if the carb has no pilot circuit then it was not made to idle like a car engine. Probably a set RPM at 3400rpm guessing. Check the highly overlooked float height level.

Going with "what is a fuel level sensor for $400 Alex".

Unless it is a coincidence same part failure on the new part. Total shot in the dark. Still think there is some wire issue too.

Start disconnecting items until there is no more shorting slash blowing fuses going on. Test every wire and connector on BOTH SIDES for continuity/shorts/opens. Test the fuse holder and across it WITH a proper amp rated fuse. Remember all circuits needs LOAD testing at max amp draw. Use a clamp...

Find out where the short is and fix it. Go wire by wire ciruit x circuit.

I'm all confused now.

And 600 million plus people don't do oil dumps on mowers. I hear what you are saying though. (y)

Starting fluid or Ether is NOT advised to use for this. Simply use fresh gas and 2 stroke oil mix in a pump sprayer or what ever type bottle you like. Will work on every 4 stroke and 2 stroke engine know to us all. Boats, cars, air planes, mower, big rigs and so on.

Only about 600 million plus mowers, probably a ton more out there with no oil filter at all. All running just fine.

Be careful about the static electricity that can develop inside the shop vac hose and the gasoline.

If it was mine, oil and filter dumps after three successive mows, stretch to 10 hours a few mows then twice a year regardless of hours/time/operational cycles. Oil is cheap compared to a new Diesel engine and labor. You must get all that break in metal out. Your first few dumps will have heavy...

Pull the kill wires off the coils. IF the coils are good, should run the fuel tank dry. Ground the clamp end TO the engine block. Other pointed end hunt around the plug boot for spark. If you have spark from the coils only, move the pointed end away from the plug boot. This will check max gap...

OP doesn't have spark.
