If it started with carb cleaner or starter fluid, then you have spark to the plug, so it has to be no fuel issue, a common problem, so check fuel pump first, then if not that, replace carb, they are cheap if you don't feel you can disassemble and clean out pin holes in fuel feed.

Thanks, no doubt opening it up is the only way to know for sure, but I was just curious as I would never have expected both rods letting go at same time with zero interference as engine spins freely and cam is OK as all valves open and shut. Just not sure I want to know what or how this...

Thanks, that would be normal, and why this is so strange is there is no interference, no noise, just spins freely. I had purchased another Intek years ago and it would not turn over by hand it would hit a lock point, and was rod, and it jammed up flywheel, as in, normally what happens when a rod...

Sorry, it was same model no start issue, so was just curious to what is possible when a motor does not start. I hardly was looking to hijack anything.

Thanks, I agree, one rod going is common, but both at same time just seemed to odd to me and I was just curious if anyone ever saw this happen before. I didn't want to remove motor and open up until I had an idea if this was even possible. I bought it with seller just telling me it wouldn't...

Thanks, I figured this was obvious, but to pull engine and take apart to see issue and find it is not worth fixing was my question, it just seemed totally strange to have both rods go and no lock up or noises. Was just deciding to part out or repair, so thanks.

Curious, is it possible for a Briggs Stratton 26HP Intek to let go of both rods at same time with zero noise of signs of broken rods. Cam drives both heads valves, but both pistons are not moving even as engine turns over? Sounds impossible to me having worked on all types of motors over the...

Greetings, Curious, anyone ever see a Briggs Stratton 26HP Intek just stop with nothing and no noise, no locked engine, just no piston movement, but valves work fine on both heads. One piston at top and the other at bottom. How is it possible for both roda to let go at same time with no lock...

Sorry, didn't want to be accused of starting another thread on same issue, so as to your response, thanks, I am new here, so will start a new thread from now on. As to your response, thank you, I did change oil, and no gas smell, was not overfilled, seemed OK, the only thing I was going to try...

Curious, I have smoking issue on Briggs 19.5 hp and it is blue white color, runs, but barely at full throttle, dies if you lower to idle. I changed head gasket originally, and it ran great for one cutting. Put it away indoors for winter, used gas stabilizer, started it up this spring, and...
