Hello all, hope you can provide some direction for me.
I have an MZT61 with Briggs and Stratton engine. I have a couple of starting issues I'm trying to resolve.
To start with, I've replaced the PTZ switch and the Starter solenoid. Fuel pickup is clear, fuel filter is clear.
Here are my issues:
1. Starter will not engage when turning the key, I just hear a click. Starter will engage when jumping the starter solenoid with a screwdriver.
2. Once the starter is engaged the engine will still not start. Throttle at 100%, is choke engaged. It will start if I give it a shot of starter fluid to the intake and I have to do this every time in order for the engine to start, hot or cold.
Thanks!
Mark
