Hello . Purchased a new Craftsman T130 Riding mower 3 years ago .Its Model # is CMXGRAM1130038 with a Briggs and Stratton motor model # 33R7770012G1 .
It has been operating perfectly through three seasons . A few days ago without giving a sign of trouble while mowing , it suddenly shot down . There was no sputtering as if it was running out of fuel or any warning at all . It was as if there was a kill switch that suddenly turned it off instantly . I checked the obvious culprits such as the fuel line and filter , checked for loose wires , fuses etc. but couldn't find anything obvious . The motor will turn over and act like it wants to start . If I spray a small amount of starter fluid into the carb it will run for a second or two then die out again .
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Thank You .
