Okay from the beginning... 2006 (I think) Lt1042, Kohler Courage 19 that I have had zero problems with the one year I've had it, the owner before me I know had 3 trouble free years... Mowed beautifully and flawlessly 2 weeks ago, I got to start it for the biweekly mow and the battery is flat...

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU... something like this is my next step

It's a single mate... was running fine one minute... I shut it down to move junk out of my way, I get back in.and nothing... My crackhead self decided to take the carb off only to discover the solenoid went bad... so I reassemble, reinstall. and the surges have been haunting me since... I've...

Got no patience to fish... I'm done after like 20 minutes of sitting "clean the carburetor, you're old dirty gas from sitting is clogging the whole thing" "I've been running 100% in it i'ts whole life, at that it's sat no later than 2 weeks without getting some action, plus this all started...

Nope... it only stops when I go back down to about 1/2 throttle, sometimes I can barely put on choke and it smooths out, but this doesn't seem to work every time.

I've found the problem... done everything right to fix it, there's only so many ways you can clean a carburetor... so far I've found 3 ways to mount it.... none of which this pos... I mean, BS is responding... The Briggs guy wasn't easy to get ahold of, I faxed him my pager number where he then...

Alright gang... suddenly decided to start running... still got that surge... gonna try to sea foam it out Really all that's left to try

No mate, I don't expect briggs to do anything, they can't even build an engine/carb to go beyond 3 years... Hoping the guy on the phone can tell me who CAN build an engine. That's about the nicest thing they could do for me right now. Already cleaned/rebuilt carb like 6 times... it went from...

Cleaned again... just for the heck of it... and I like a good joke.... Now it won't start at all.... Anyone know how one may contact Briggs? I wanna see if they can point me to a small engine company.

Is 3 years of use really excessive wear time? This is why I'm having a hard time taking briggs seriously right now... shoot, at this point they should just give me a new carb since we're still in "could be anything" territory... all initially from an early faulty fuel solenoid

Yeah, I feel ya... but the briggs/carb diagram tells me there was no reason to go squrreling around in there.. I was in it for the still new, ungrateful jets

Yeah, I meant carb, intake and all... I got no change in idle except going over the shaft... but I'm having a hard time accepting taking the carb off and cleaning it messed up a part I never removed... then again I'm having a hard time accepting Briggs is still in business... this has been a...

Mmkay... the starting is with the throttle all the way down, it just stays so hot and muggy where I live (Knox TN) that before all this, I could go crank it once a week for the weekly cut, and it would fire up after like 3 seconds... same conditions I'm sittin at the 10... so I know something is...

Okay, entire story, here we go.. Craftsman lt2000 of 15 years with a Briggs intek I bought (new) 3 years ago, ran beautifully up till last week when it decided to just not start. I got right to diagnosing, worked my way to the carb when I borrowed a friend's chinese ebay carb.. finally it...
