Hi eveyone,
I have a Troy Bilt Tuff Cut 210 walk behind self propelled mower. It has a Briggs and Straton Quantum engine and believe it's 189.7cc. I'm trying to learn how the auto choke works so I can fix it
Model is 12A-566N063 serial 1D223K112238 There is also a number on the engine 125K02-0243-E1 03041158
The mower has been working with no issue for years. My wife was cutting a small hill, ran it out of gas. I refilled the gas and it would not start. I put my spark tester on it and I am getting spark, cleaned the air filter and changed the spark plug. But still the same issue, I can prime using the bulb and it will start and run for just a couple of seconds and then die. I took the top plastic housing off and I found if I pull the spring back on the auto choke manually all the way it starts and runs at a low speed. I can then release the spring and it comes up to operating speed and then works fine. After that I can start it with no issues till the next day. I can see where a 'thin rod' on the auto choke goes back inside the motor somewhere but can't see where it goes or how to get to it. I haven't been able to find any information about this when searching the internet but came across this site. Can anyone help me out with this?? Thanks in advance for any help.
