Hello All,
TL;DR:
After the winter season, I was cutting my grass for the first time this spring. After about 30 minutes, it just died and would not restart. I have performed season maintenance, rebuilt the carb, and adjusted the OHV valves. I can only start the engine by forcing the choke to full open and throttle at minimum. Dies under load. Any ideas?
I have a Husqvarna YTA24v48 with a Briggs and Stratton Intek V-Twin 24hp engine (44N877).
I was driving my mower, and everything was fine and it just died and would not start back up.
This happened after it sat through the winter and I figured it was just bad fuel.
Troubleshooting steps taken so far:
1.Seasonal maint. (Spark plug, oil, oil filter, fuel, fuel filter, battery)
2. Rebuilt carburetor
3. Adjusted OHV valves
During troubleshooting, I have found that I can actually get it to start by manually forcing the choke to full open (take the air vane and push it all the way out) AND set the throttle to as low as possible, the engine will idle like crap for about 10 seconds and slowly turn up the throttle, and the engine sounds fantastic, as soon as I push the accelerator, the engine dies, if I engage the PTO for the blades, the engine dies, any load and it dies.
Any input would be appreciated!
PS - I plan on uploading a video after work today for this issue, showing the dying underload AND the weird way to get it started.
Thanks in advance!
