Hi All,
I've got a 98 or 99 Craftsman 42" with a B/S 42E707 twin cylinder with L-Heads and a vacuum fuel pump carb that will only start if I prime the carb directly. It will run until that fuel is consumed then die again. I've removed the air filter and looked to insure the jet is spraying and it is. Clearly the plugs and timing are good because it runs. This happened the last time I tried to use the mower which was 3-4 months ago and after I disassembled and inspected the carb and it checked out ok I adjusted the idle screw on the carb and it worked but that's not getting it running this time. Any and all help will be appreciated. If this is a duplicate post I apologize and would welcome a link with a fix. Thanks in advance.
