Sorry. I thought I said everything that I had did in previous posts and answers.
Removed and cleaned / replaced air filters. Need to remove the air filter for testing only. I've seen perfectly good clean "looking" filters choke an engine down making it sputter. New air filter, she ran perfect.
Getting spark both cylinders can each jump a 1/4" gap in free air?, replaced spark plugs, changed fuel pump , tested it removed and I stalled the original fuel pump it had slightly better flow.
Drained fuel tanks and changed fuel three times, No mention of FLUSHING out or blowing with shop air both ways. Changed fuel. Cleaned carburetor with carb cleaner spray It might take 4 cleanings to get her clean internally. Most likely you need to boil it then blow out with shop air and eye protection. Replaced solenoid valve. Tested it and it works. Could not snip off the pin on the solenoid as my cutters would not cut it. You don't have any wire cutters? Dikes? Hacksaw? Beavers? Dremel Tools?
Loosen and even removed the fuel tank caps, removed carburetor and disassemble everything I could and cleaned with carburetor cleaner. Reassembled and installed.
Did run some better not nothing has worked so far. Thanks for help.
I'm am trying to buy a carburetor and verify my correct carb number is 15004-2063 for FD731V AS09 . Needing a good price and place to purchase. Replaced fuel with new ethanol fuel Everytime I drained and replaced fuel from tank . Added extra ground wire.
I do not know how to remove pull the hot coil wire. The kill wire is the small gauge wire on the coil. There is a kill wire and the plug wire. Nothing else to talk about.
See above in red.

Here is what I could pull up to be your carb. Verify this is yours. This might not be 100% accurate in being your carb.


Here is an ebay search for that model of carb. Again verify that carb fits your machine.

That is what I came up with also for part number.

had mine at dealer for 2 weeks new coils new plugs, valves adjusted, they say carb is fine, new fuel lines , fuel pump is fine, but it runs for 14 seconds exactly then bogs down to 2200rpm for exactly 8 seconds then back to full power for 14 seconds, they have had it for 2 weeks working on it. talked to them today they said their doing some research to see if theirs something they missed

Quick answer is
yes, this engine has a radiator on top, not shroud. the top of the engine is exposed if you remove the filter case. IT debris blows out very good with a blower after ever mowing, I did inspect it well while working it this season.

I did blow out the carb after cleaning with compressor and air hose.
