And if you have a little time, clean the connections at the battery, solenoid, and starter. It never hurts.

Welcome

You still need to make sure you have good fuel flow to the carb.

Welcome to the forum.

I've had good luck with Slime, in tubeless mower tires, and bicycle tube tires. Of course it needs to be a slow leak.

Exactly hlw49!

You didn't do anything wrong. Lots of people post questions with no identifying info, so it's kind of automatic to give some directions to new guys. Welcome again.

Welcome Rayderz! If you post a question, please give model number of mower and engine, so people can make sure they give appropriate assistance. I'm in Louisiana by the way.

I have terrible results with jumper cables and mowers. There often isn't clearance to get good connections with full size auto jumper cables. The smaller clamps on boosters connect better, but a freshly charged good battery beats them all.

What is the problem? (along with the ID info)

If gas got into the oil, change the oil after fixing/replacing carb, and change again after a little run time.

Good luck!

You need to check fuel flow. Does the mower have a fuel pump? If you follow the fuel line from the tank, where does it go? The fuel filter is one, and the carb is the last. Is there another place the fuel line connects? That's usually fuel pump, and has 2 fuel lines and a vacuum line that...

Ozcub, the join date under your picture and name shows Sep 7, just like Virginia and Auto Docs. No worries. I agree, replace the dipstick for $6.

You may see a day different, but I see all 3 showing join date Sep7, 2024. It just looked odd to me. I scanned a couple of other threads and didn't see any more. No big deal, just caught my eye... I'm here in America like Auto Doc. Given your name, I assume Australia. I'm not touching the...

Why do 3 of the 4 posts, VirginiaIron, Autodoc's, and Ozcub show join date Sept 7, 2024? Hmmm.

Welcome Kasey! There's a lot of knowledge here.

Welcome Heidi! What's the problem with the mower? Please supply mower and engine model numbers. The mower ID numbers should be on a sticker or plate, and the engine number is often on the valve cover. With those numbers we can help better.

Welcome! Please provide mower model number from the serial number tag, and engine model along with a description of your problem so we can help you.

Well, advertising is against the rules. I missed that.

If he's not advertising or PM'ing promoting the company I think it's ok. There's a number of lawn pro's and commercial mechanics who are great contributors here. It'd probably better if his name wasn't the company.

Welcome!

Duplicate post. Please try not to post duplicates.

Welcome David. Glad you're here.

Welcome Charlie!

That link may have broken, but the Husqvarna forum is here, https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/forums/husqvarna/ The Owner's group is in there.

Please give your model number from the serial number tag. It's often under the seat. Does it make any noise when you try and reverse?

Welcome!

It sounds like you're doing pretty good on the tank end of things. Do replace the screen. Some have screens, some have filters. Make sure the pump is passing enough fuel, and the vacuum pulse hose is good and well connected. It could also be the coil, as Auto Doc mentioned.

You may have crud in the tank. Blowing back into the tank can get it flowing, but it will stop again. If that's the case, you need to clean the tank, and clean or replace the pickup filter. Usually I can fish that out of the tank. I'd check the fuel flow to pump and output from pump too.

You pulled the fuel lines, but did you test for good fuel flow? If you pull the line from filter to pump, how does the fuel flow? You could have crud in the tank/pickups. If you shine a flashlight in the tank, can you see the pickup? If you can fish it out, clean or replace. The fuel pump...

Is it a Torx? That's what i find searching. I couldn't find a good manual for it, hopefully someone will. If the starter is not turning the flywheel, it's often a problem with the gear that engages the flywheel. Normally, when you engage the starter, the gear moves into engagement with...

Welcome Sumo1.

Welcome, from another in Louisiana!

1294 is a Briggs motor, but it seems like a pressure washer, while tb360 is a troybilt mower. I found a user manual, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2392408/Troy-Bilt-Tb360.html?page=15#manual Starting instructions don't mention choke, so probably autochoke. I'd take off the air filter and...

Duplicate post.

No problem Dave, we just remind everyone, as lots of people don't give good identification when they post their problems.

Welcome Dave. When you post a question, please include engine model numbers from the tag on engine. That way we can access correct information to assist you.

Check choke operation. Supply motor model number from mower so folks can give more specific help.

Welcome!

Is the solenoid separate from the battery? When you used the jump starter, were you connecting direct to starter? If so, looks like starter is bad. You can check the solenoid and see if voltage is delivered to the starter terminal when key is switched to start.

Welcome. If you post a question about it, please provide model and serial number of the machine, and if it's an engine question, provide engine info. The machine manufacturer is rarely the engine maker.

First, do what sgkent and ilengine recommended. Second, when you "jump the solenoid" are you connecting a jumper between the 2 big connectors on the solenoid? That should bypass the solenoid, and crank the engine. If it does not, you aren't getting the power you need.

Welcome!

Welcome Clayton. If you have a mower question, please include model/serial numbers. If it is an engine question, include engine model info.

Welcome!

Welcome

I don't see any videos. My opinion on the fuel tank comes from it running well for 15 minutes, then missing. Coils can also heat up and cause problems, but you did say you replaced them. Where did the coils come from?

What have you done with the fuel system? I suspect crud in fuel tank. When engine's not running, it may settle in the tank, so engine starts, and runs until crud builds up on fuel pickup, then engine runs like crap. I'd clean out the tank, pull the pickups and clean, and make sure fuel flows...

Thanks for the update.
