Hey guys my craftsman gt 6000 was running great mowed all day and was sitting there idleing and just shut off ! I checked fuel fiter i could blow through had plent of gas coming through the line but wont start unless i put gas in the carb does it have a fuel pump if so where is it located . By the way my nuts backed off my starter and it fell off too but guessing thats not the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated model 917.255980. Thanks
Does it run after you start with gas down the carb or just use what you pour down then stops again.
If so check the solenoid under the carb ( if it has one )
There is a plunger that shuts off fuel to the main jet that retracts when you turn the mower on.

I was brought up to accept that the Lord helps those that help themselves. In this case having a starter fall off is blatant disregard for basic maintenance. Motors vibrate and fasteners loosen up, what a wrench is made for.
When I read comments like that I always wonder if the poster even bothers to change the oil and filters. I was a bit crass and one reason i don't comment all that much. I live by the 'you cannot fix stupid' philosophy.
I gloss over probably 95% of the posts on here because most I find amusing but without merit.
