I'll check that out thank you

Ok then.

.....aight then.

I need to mow so I'm in a hurry. Maybe I'll order the dB one and keep the China one for a backup. Thank you.

Someone mentioned it might he shorted out for some reason? It's a Kholer SV735s 26 hp engine on a craftsman YTS 4500.

That may be true but I don't have $250 for a kholer brand starter lol.

I'll probably just get another one they're only about $50 new. I did ground it while I was testing it. Thank you all for the feedback. Is there a way to test the stator?

I mean I was barely tapping it and the motor would not turn either way until I completely removed the starter. I'm assuming the starter shaft is locked up right?

I took the starter off and stuck power straight to the screw and it didn't turn. I'm assuming that means the starter is bad?

Hello all, I went out to try and start my 2009 craftsman yts4500 and it turned over 3 times and just suddenly stopped. Now when you try to turn it over it just makes one click and doesn't do anything. Battery is good and charged. The battery side of the solenoid has 12.6 volts but when you...

How would I check that? Taking the top flywheel off?

Wow, I noticed a yellow spark when I was testing the plug and didn't even know that was a thing. That is awesome. I'll be ordering a new coil today

Ok everyone so to recap, this is where I'm at. I've tried 3 different carbs, two of them flood the cylinder and soaked the spark plug completely. The other one didn't seem to feed it any gas at all. One of the two flooded ones was a Nikki, the other two were generic Chinese replacement carbs...

Do these motors have a timing key? Could it have lost time?

I cut the fuel solenoid plunger off to remedy any issues it would have. Tried to start it today and it's blowing gas out of the exhaust with the nikki carb back on it. So it's obviously flooding right? How do I remedy that?

Good advice 👍🏻, I'll keep the carb in mind thank you. I just got done cleaning the nikki carb out real good. I'm going to try it out within the next couple of days and see if she'll run.

There is no issue getting fuel to the carb. I've verified this several times. It has something to do with how the carb is feeding it into the engine.

I've posted about 4 times I didn't cut the wires, just the plunger on the end of it. I've been swapping the one I cut around on the carbs I've been using so I don't waste multiple of them.

The pump is providing plenty of gas as it cranks. I agree, it's probably a Chinese knock off that wasn't built properly.

That's an awesome and detailed guide. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for all that information I really appreciate it. I think I'll try the gaskets from the clone carb first and it still won't work good I'll order a kit. The numbers on it are: 697203 G02703 5X19 C

It was a couple different Chinese carbs that don't seem to work. My dad pulled the nikki carb off because it wasn't running right. I got it and pulled it apart and seems like it's in ok shape. I'm going to try to clean it really good and see if it'll work. Are you talking about the circle gasket...

These are the specs I found online for this specific engine model. Does it seem accurate? Or should I just roll with the .004?

Sorry everyone I realize how I worded that made it seem like I cut the wire and not the plunger on the end of the Solenoid. I just did it because no matter how I tried to put the wire in and get it tight I could hear it clicking up and down every time you barely touch the wire so I imagine as...

It would only run with the choke on and I noticed it blowing some gas back out of the carb last time I tried starting it. Local mower man suggested valve adjustment as the next step.

I cut the plunger on it not the wire.

Thank you for answering my actual question instead of judging me 🤣

I didn't cut the wire I cut the plunger on it, I'm not a total idiot lol.

There is a solenoid shut off on the bottom, but I cut it off because the wire wasn't giving a reliable connection. I did notice it blowing some gas back and found out that means the valves may be out of whack. Do you know what the valve clearances on this engine are?

Think it's getting to much gas? Shouldn't the float in the carb stop it from getting to much gas?

I replaced the vaccum pump as well and verified fuel flow while cranking

Hello all, I have a 2006 briggs and stratton 18.5 HP [31N707] engine that came off a craftsman. We put it on a small ariens zero turn. It worked very well for awhile, then got it where it wouldn't run unless the choke was on. Eventually it quit running all together. After this my dad parked it...
