Intek 24 HP V-Twin will not stay running

If your original carb is the real deal OEM Nikki you need to review some rebuild info and carefully re-build it.
It's a better carb than the aftermarket types.
Do reviews and get the correct O ring kit for the re-build.
Set it back as a spare or re-install and use the clone as a spare.

The single barrel carbs like yours are little more user friendly to work on vs the 2 barrel dual throat types.

Wasn’t starting at all so have replaced: fuel filter, fuel pump, spark plugs, battery, solenoid, air filter, and carb (new).

All parts listed require testing to make sure they work. New isn't new anymore. Carb needs pressure tested at 7psi for 30+ minutes. Plus need spark checked. Battery tested as well.

Hope the best for you but good luck.

I've used new OEM gaskets and still she ran like do-do. The gasket stamping out left poor looking new gaskets that didn't work for me.

If I am looking at a new to me used mower, I check what brand carb it has. Again good luck.
