Need help/Suggestion/Idea , Fixing my Craftsman Riding mower , seems Starving fuel
Hi there, I have a Craftsman 917 -288525 series Riding Mower 21 hp with B & S Engine, I started cutting the grass , about 10 minutes later suddenly Stalled & Stopped. I checked the Spark etc all good. With starting fluid, it starts momentarily & shut. I Now put New Carburetor[Replacement of NIKI Carb from Amazon] with new fuel shut off solenoid ,Tested current there & working , New air filter, Fuel filter. New spark Plug ,Fresh fuel but still the same ,it Cranks but not start ,only start momentarily with Starting fluid, I disconnected Fuel line after Filter & Fuel is going in Carburetor bowl, Also when I remove Fuel Solenoid Fuel comes out of Carburetor bowl-Magneto air gap seems ok i cleaned it too. I checked these videos.
Any help will be appreciated, Thanks
