Still sounds like it’s not getting gas from the carb. If you remove the carb bowl plug, does gas flow from the bowl? If there’s a fuel shut off, is it completely open?

That’s what I thought at first too, but he said he shot it with a little starter fluid and he got nothing. Normally, if it’s a fuel problem, it’ll at least fire and then die. But you never know.

Just wondering, was this the first and only symptom? Prior to this, was there no rough running, bogging down or anything like that?

Yes, the election is ALWAYS rigged... if your party lost. When your party wins, it's TOTALLY fair! :ROFLMAO:

Won't say it's the same problem I had, but I remember my YTH20K46 with a Kohler started having the same issue. What it ended up being was that a rod was starting to fail, it eventually broke and cracked the engine wall. This was only a couple years after purchasing the mower. The folks at...

I hear people say that a lot. I've used starter fluid on many engines and never had a problem. For me, it's a last resort after trying any number of other things. If the engine will not start without it, that's an indication that something else is wrong anyway, I suppose. For me, it's a...

I haven't read through all of the posts in this thread, but you might very well be right about it being a simple switch. I was working on an old MTD mower with a Briggs and Stratton that had an issue with the interlock switch not making contact because the bracket for the blade engagement had...

I think we all understand that the original question implied an answer as well. It's been interesting to see the responses, but the bottom line is this: the USA did not just materialize out of thin air. We're the good old melting pot, right? The good, the bad and all the in between is a...

So the first nuclear weapon was tested in New Mexico, no? And the first actual use of a nuclear weapon was by the USA, no? Many things are created without any help from the USA - at least not directly. How much technology is stolen from other countries every year. Not that we don't do the...

Are you thinking one of them would have obliterated the world if the U.S. wasn't around? I guess we're just a mix of the world's peoples anyway, but still maybe you'd be right if that's what you were thinking.

What do you mean, who's? Who's doesn't matter. My point (pertaining to the original question) was that since the first nuclear weapon was created/tested here in the US and its first use was by the US, for the original question, does it matter where we'd be without the USA; that's only given...

So in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter where we'd be without the USA, correct?

So tell me: where were nuclear weapons created?

Where would the world be? My guess: we'd still be the 3rd rock from the sun.

Just reading some of the comments near the end: wow, it took a bit of a turn there for a while with things like stimulus check discussions - LOL. Would love to see the before pics. Looks like you really got that thing cleaned up with the pressure washing. I never really pressure wash engines...
