My backordered camshafts just went from pending to August 2 so maybe they will eventually ship them. We will see if they show up.
B&S Vanguard fuel solenoid not available
- Thread starter Snowman1
- Start date
What is the update on the carb solenoid?
I snip the plunger off the solenoid and remove the wiring harness. Reinstall the now non working solenoid. Never have to worry about no starts again.
When finished with the mower, I shut off my fuel with a fuel cut off valve about 30 seconds till I'm done. Idle down for a few seconds and kill the engine.

I have my mower back after 20 weeks. The repairers have inserted a screw in the hole and the mower now works albeit with a bang a few seconds after switching off unless I remember to close the throttle first. I can live with that until a replacement is available, estimated end of September. Thanks again for your help.
Put a fuel shut off valve inline. Shut the fuel off about a minute prior to being finished mowing. This and the low revs, at that time only, will stop the muffler popping. Valves are ultra cheap. Can get a pack on sleezebay or amazon for cheap. Put them on every mower you can fit them on.

Well, will today be the day i wonder..? ?
@Scrubcadet10 I have already checked twice today to see if anything had changed. Nothing yet.
Checked with another of my suppliers and they are now showing 49 in stock. But I am not paying list plus 30% with already two on backorder that if they show at my Briggs warehouse today will get dealer pricing.

Camshafts are still showing 8/2/21 and no shipment at this time. Good news is the pressure washer part from last September is shipping.
8/2/21 has come and gone and no camshafts and no update on ETA. Still shows 8/2/21
Back to pending. So still no camshafts
Just this week,my mower,the Husqvarna 42175 ZTR,powered with a 19hp Intek B&S,,just up and quit ,at the back of the one acre MIL's yard! A quick diagnosis led me to believe no fuel. Fuel tank was full,fuel valve was on "ON",so what? The pesky anti-backfire solenoid carb valve,maybe? Turning the key on and off produced no 'click' from the solenoid,but it had juice to it.( Before reading on.. please be advised, I do not sugguest defeating ANY safety features at all!) I removed the solenoid,plugged it back into the harness,turned the key and no retraction of the pin valve. Warning:a non-recommended fix follows. I took my side cuts and cut the tip of the needle valve off. (Horrors) put everything back together and proceeded to mow without further ado for the next hour,or so. The ignition switch has the magneto kill switch incorporated into it so no issue with shutting down. Is this OK or am I in deep trouble with the EPA? :-D.
