Skippy, Correct. Briggs uses a restrictor plate in the intake to do the same things on some of there engines. Start your engine and go to full throttle with no load, and the throttle plate will be closed down to the point that is it just slightly wider than the idle position. Load...

Skippy correct. But here is the thing. Engine rpm is maintained by the governor at a set speed. As the engine load increases causes a drop in engine rpm. The governor spring overcomes that rpm drop to return the engine to the set rpm. Now as the engine load keeps increasing it keeps...

The screw limited the throttle butterfly to only open halfway. So the governor was set for the throttle butterfly to only open 50% not the full straight open 100%. And if not reset the governor couldn't take advantage of the full movement of the throttle butterfly plate since the governor gear...

Looks like you are missing some parts of the model number. I am going to guess and say 123K02-0258-E1 And with the ground wire disconnected from the coil and no spark is the test for the coil. No spark replace coil. Resistance readings are meaningless due to the fact you cannot property...

Some of the newer Briggs engines have the model number info etched into the side of the block opposite the carb side. Can be hard to see or read sometimes due to paint. Also some of the newer engines will have that info on a plate facing the front of the engine next to the carb.

This is posted in the Front porch which is for off topic discussions So doesn't have to be mower or equipment related.

Didn't have to replace the screw just remove it The catch is you also had to reset te static governor setting and if the engine had a sudden unplanned disassembly it also voided the warranty if removed. We referred to that as the $130 screw because that was the difference in price between...

.004-006 intake and exhaust

That engine uses the 32 853 12-S carb. Not cheap so I would start with a carb rebuild, but also need to check to make sure there aren't other things going on also. Compression, valve clearances, spark. Also I would pull the blower housing and check the part numbers on the ignition modules...

From the picture I would say he is already .010 or .25 mm over and will need .020 or .50mm to clean up.

I mistyped. It should of be 946-04670. I have corrected my previous post

1-2 cylinder air cooled engine will have a life expectancy of 1000-2000 hours. Water cooled 2 cylinder gas like some Kawasaki can be in the 2-3K hours. Multicylinder engines like a 3 cylinder Kubota gas can go 3-5K hours. And diesels can be in the 4-10K hour range.

From the MTD official dealer site it appears that the 946-04670(A)(B) wasn't used on any models post 2013

Belt slipping due to the extra torque needed to counteract the drives trying to do different things.

You said it has a new spark plug. But is it actually producing spark. Remove the spark plug and connect it to the wire and then ground the spark threads to the engine block and crank to check for spark. If that pans out then reinstall and try putting gas into the carb intake and crank to see...

The solenoid gets is power to block the carb jet with the exciter voltage when the switch is turned off. There is no power supplied by the battery or the charge system to close the valve. So the engine has to be running for it to work, which can't be done with it removed from the carb...

You really can't tell most of the time if they are good or bad by looking. To do it right you need a small hand pump to pressurize the fuel inlet with the carb upside down, Needs to hold like 5 psi for 5 minutes. I suggestion would be to install a carb repair kit, but another option is...

The float valve is inside of the carb. It works in combination with the float to stop the fuel from overfilling the carb bowl and flooding the engine.

That is not a Carlisle tire problem. That is a doesn't matter what brand of mower tire they all get cracks and leak in strange patterns, Even an outline of the letters. Some of the tires I have been seeing the last couple years have insides that looks like a net with all the string strands...

Because the volume of the tire didn't change. The bottom of the tire deflected but the rest of the tire could grow in size to compensate.

That would most likely a float valve not sealing allowing gas to overflow the carb. But could also be a fuel pump leaking depending on the setup. Either way you also need to check the oil level and to confirm the crankcase isn't also full of gas.

I suspect that part of the issue is the afterfire solenoid on the bottom of the carb isn't working correctly. Either a solenoid issue or the control circuit that actuates it isn't working correctly. On generators, the afterfire solenoid is normally open and then is closed by the generator...

The 1770455 rim uses the 734-04163A tire which is a 13x5x6 tire But your 15003 uses a 4.80/4.00x8 tire and rim assembly And the 1770455 rim is a different setup than your existing tire wheel assembly

Can be done with different carb jetting, or other carb changes, or changes in ignition. Let me describe another series of engine that I am more familiar with. The Kohler CV18-20-22 The CV18 has a screw in the carb that limits the throttle butterfly to open ony 50%. You still get 3600...

That picture reminds me of another person that claimed there was no model number on his engine, and to prove it posted a perfect crystal clear picture of the model number. And he still didn't realize that he had taken a picture of and posted the model number.

It may be my imagination but it looks like you second picture has numbers on that muffler shield. I can make out what looks like 126T0 and a 62 in the corner of the lighter area of rust and looks like a 0 to the left of your thumb.

Look at the metal cover. There is a metal flange that sticks out over the muffler. the model info is on that flat flange. You can see part of the model number sticking out from under the plastic cover in Star's picture. Looks like 128 of 12B

697887 doesn't appear to be a valid number possibly 698778

Like Star said. The OEM's won't supply even their dealer techs with needed info sometimes. MTD has been known to have incorrect part numbers listed on the diagrams, and I have even seen part numbers that are showing NLA on products for the current model year. And they don't ever go back and...

Post the model number information from the engine tag so we know what engine you have. And when you say doesn't turn over do you mean cranks but not start or not do anything.

Sometimes even the techs can look at a diagram to the point they get crosseyed, and still can't find the part. I have had times were I have had to call the OEM and say I am looking for such and such part, what diagram is it on. Or in your case the model number that you provided has the...

Without the engine model number information we really don't have much to go on to give you direction.

I noticed that when I tried the model provided by the OP. So I crossed the choke solenoid to another model number to find the plastic choke lever.

Looks like it maybe a 593039 but don't see it being used on the model you posted even though it shows the solenoid But that solenoid is used on 309 other model numbers...

OK the 2825916331 serial number comes back to a CV18S-61533 https://www.partstree.com/models/cv18-61533-kohler-command-pro-engine-made-for-american-yard-products-18hp-13-4kw

Simpson doesn't give me any issues as far as warranty. The issue I run into is getting Gardner to process the claim and issue the credit on the account without emailing the warranty department and basically say you are not doing your job. Simpson gave me fits this past summer on one of the...

When was the last time the fuel filter was changed. Also there is a second filter screen inside the fuel inlet side of the carb that will collect debris

That is for the 399806 air filter not the 393725 filter. the issue with the fact that it used one of 4 different air filters The 270843 oil foam filter, the 393725 without foam precleaner, the 393957 with 271794 precleaner, and the 399806 with 271962 prefilter.

Ignition module warming up and loosing spark. May need to check for spark after it stalls

The postal service claims the road in front of my house doesn't meet there delivery standards so claimed they couldn't deliver my mail today along with parts I have been waiting on since Tuesday. And just 15 minutes ago the snow plow drove by and wasn't even plowing what snow we got today.

The 393725 doesn't use a foam wrap, or I have never seen one on that filter. What makes things confusing is that model type list 4 different filters with one being an oil type foam. One being a round cartridge filter with precleaner wrap. And 2 oblong cartridge filters with one using a foam...

I working on adding 2-4 to the already 9 I got over the weekend. Snow is delaying my parts orders to the point I haven't even been to the shop in 3 days. Don't have enough parts to even complete a section of a repair. Like I have the new U joint but don't have the shaft seal to install when...

So you prefer a president that is on video multiple times sniffing little girls, and his own daughter has made it public that her own father was inappropriate with her or a president that is technically not a convicted felon until sentencing which has a very good chance of being overturned and...

I don't have any of those accounts either. Had a business facebook at one time and then Google decided my page was a grey account and locked me out and then deleted.

I don't have any comebacks with string plugs either, but run into cases where the side walls leak air to the point that soap looks like bubble strings on the side of tires. And the issue sometimes with just replacing the tire is coming up with a matching tread or in some cases matching brand...

I have seen more than my share of fix a flat corroded rims that look like they have been filled with hydrochloric acid.

Possibly water getting into the oil tank and forcing the oil out.

Never had any issues with using the string rubberized window sealing sticky strips that are commonly used for tire plugs. And if I later go back to install a tube just pull all the plugs out and put in the tube.

Looks like the PB-201 serial range 02001001-02999999 used the hotter BPRM7Y were as the later 06001001-06999999 and 09001001-09999999 used the colder BPRM8Y And the kit that contained the BPRM7Y superceded to discontinued. So in the end if the colder plug is working properly then I wouldn't...

Well you do know why they call it a medical practice right. They practice doctor until they either fix you or kill you.

You mean the the social media companies that got caught conspiring with the FBI and DHS to censor the truth and push misinformation supplied by the outgoing adminstration. The truth is we were all lied to and the social media companies were the center of it. So no, I am not upset that...

With a leak that slow slime won't have much effect. Best option is while you have the tire off the mower. Just soap a small section say 1/4 of the tire and just keep an eye on that area to look for a small patch of bubbles. Then move to the next section. Really slow leaks can be hard to...

I will narrow the list down for you. Both the 487170 and the 698444 supercede to the 799868 carb so if you have a primer carb then that is the current part number for all date codes. The 498964 and the 497353 are both obsolete. So if you have a choke carb then not much recourse.
