When I don't feel like smashing it with a hammer I'll swap the carb's jet assembly with the working one and see what happens. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately its not the fuel or the line or tank. I swapped the carb out with another from a similar mower model and it runs perfect. Its something going on with this particular carb and I have no Idea what it could be. I've had it off at least 6x and the results...

Need some help troubleshooting a briggs plastic carb model 799584 mower model 09P702-0145-F1 Mower runs erratically and will die under load and can't be restated unless the carb is pulled and cleaned. Runs and dies with carb spray. I've had the carb apart multiple times and can't figure out what...

I have a small non inverter generator with a battery tray that is an oddball size. I'd like to weld on a new one. Will welding on the frame damage the electronics, AVR etc. I've heard a few different answers and was wondering if there is any definitive advice. FYI its a 7 HP Honda clone. Thanks...

Check to make sure the choke is operating correctly.

@tkos115 If you do decide to go through with taking everything apart, please report back. I'd be very interested in how you made out!

I'll give that a go. Never tried leaving the gas cap off before. I've always drained the bowl but wound up with crusty crap on occasion.

I'm thinking about trying something new, at least for me, storing my 4 cycle equipment. I plan on draining my float bowls via main bowel nut or drain nut then generously spraying WD-40 up into it. Was wondering if there is any problem with leaving WD-40 in a carb long term. Thanks to all who reply.

Walmart and a few other places sell briggs & straton 30w in 48oz jugs. Its not usually with the car oil though, its usually with the outdoor supplies.

If its not the starter/solenoid or ground, maybe check the valve adjustment and also make sure the compression release is bumping the valves.

Glad to hear it worked out. SmallEngineHead160 is correct, the old air cleaner should bolt right on with the longer screw. Also Some of these replacement carbs have a small black screw blocking the threads where the air cleaner screw threads in.

Try dribbling a little gas or a quick shot of carb cleaner in the spark plug hole. If it runs and dies, you know you have compression. Rules out a few other things as well.

Check to make sure the spark plug is tight. I've had a generator or two run like crap because of a loose plug.

I believe the part number for the carb is 795477 the tank 494406. Searching for the tank # at the usual online suspects will get you the tank and carb combo. Couple of things to note. Its aftermarket so it may work may also be junk. Depending on your mower age you may need to cut the end of the...
