    Ordered a Kohler air filter

    Hello Oz, The first mistake is ordering from Amazon. They are a worldwide warehouse dumping ground. You are better off going to Parts Tree or Jack's small engine. Saving a few dollars and free shipping is not worth the aggravation.

    22 horse Briggs & Stratton Poulan PRO will only start with help of a starter Fluid

    Hello F., The first thing that comes to mind is the fuel shutoff solenoid is not working or has a bad connection. It is located on the bottom of the carburetor fuel bowl. What engine does this have? If it is a Briggs and Stratton, we need the numbers that are stamped into the top of the valve...

    Won’t run without choke

    Hello L., Your problem favors a progressive fuel starvation. Everything from the tank fitting to the carburetor is suspect. The fuel lines and line fittings will trap debris and starve the engine for fuel. 90-degree line fittings are the worst about this. Lines are often taken for granted to...

    Fuel pressure prime at start up

    Hi StarTech, Maybe AI will be introduced on this site like so many others. Then the OPs can read a laundry list of wild (A) guesses based on an algorithm instead of working knowledge. Face it, we are in a time where regurgitated garbage and misinformation are considered fact.

    Putting a little Oil in cylinder before initial start of new small engine.
