I know this is for lawn mowers but I have a 15 year old go kart with 5hp briggs model 136212. Carb sits on large tank with baffles in it (hard to clean). Not run in about 5 years until now.
The motor starts on first pull, idles well, accelerates and runs well. When you abruptly release throttle the engine quits. It will restart on second pull. First with choke and second pull with no choke. It has always done this. It seems a little more prone to quitting now.
I have cleaned carb, cleaned tank (as best I could), cleaned spark plug, has new fuel.
Does anyone have any ideas on what would cause this shutdown issue.
Thanks Dan
