SOLVED!!!! Put the carb back on, new plugs, new air filter. Runs perfect. Carb must of has something it it somewhere! The jets were spotless when I took it apart and cleaned it the 1st time. Very surprised it was the carb as new as it is. Thanks for all the help!

Changed the fuel pump with no improvement. Plugs fouled so bad in 20 minutes I couldn't cut anymore. Even though the OEM carb is fairly new, I'm going to disassemble and soak overnight. I already did this step minus the soak. Putting new spark in again for good measure. This one has me stumped.

Thanks again!!! I have a good used one I'm going swap from my back up mower while I wait for the new one to come in. I'll post the results. Once again, thanks for the input

thanks for all the responses. Both plugs are equally sooty. Tried cutting today after replacing the plugs. The fouled in less than an hour to the point I couldn't cut anymore. I'm going to pull the cover to see if the flywheel key and flywheel are lined up. I don't know any other way the...

I am having the same exact problem on my fh680v. Did the same things you did with no improvement. Did you ever figure it out?

Rebuilt Fh680V approximately 300 hours ago. Running great for the last 250. Started to run a little rough at idle (sometimes stall) and now rough at wot. Went to a hotter plug NGK BPR2ES. Didn't work. Plugs are covered with soot after 4 hours of running. New carb, fuel pump, stator, coils...

18.5 HP Intek model 31P677-0132-B1. Engine blew up and the sump was damaged (unusable). I had used parts to put it back together other than the sump with the oil filter. I installed a sump without the oil filter that I had. The connecting rod has a hole in the cap and the crankshaft has 3...
