Hi all!
I have a craftsman 15.5HP Riding Mower 42" Deck - 917.256524 - build date from 1996 that is giving me some troubles. Two cuts ago it began to run a bit rough, and it had the original carb, so I pulled the old one, with the fuel lines and purchased a replacement, added a new fuel filter and it fired up and ran like a champ.
HOWEVER - now it's time to get another cut in... it's won't start. The mower will turn over when choked and combust... but then dies almost immediately. I checked the seat switch - which seemed fine, but no matter what throttle setting does it run. The engine is getting fuel, the plug isn't fouled.
I'm at a total loss of where to check next. Any ideas?
Thanks!
