I've got a Stiga Park 740 PWX with the 18hp V-twin. I haven't run it for about 3-4 weeks and came to start it today and no go.
The engine turns over normally on the key but it doesn't fire up.
I carried out the normal checks before starting and when it wouldn't fire I checked the following;
Air filter is clean.
Removed, cleaned and check the gap of the plugs before refitting. The one plug was black and sooty but the other was nice and clean (*See note below). Both gaps were slightly over.
Tested ignition to both plugs with an inline tester and confirmed spark present in both plugs.
Plenty of fuel in tank
Worked through the fuels line from tank to the pump.
Fuel passing easily through fuel filter.
Passes through the fuel pump to the left cylinder (looking from the front of the mower, air filter at rear) but nothing passing out of the right cylinder outlet. *The black, sooty plug was from the right cylinder.
I've blown through with my mouth again air passes to the left cylinder outlet but not out of the right cylinder.
If I suck on the right cylinder outlet, air comes through but very little in comparison to the left.
I tried attaching a compressed air line but blew the cover of the pump so either way, I now need a new pump
Any thoughts on why it's not firing up please?
