Hey there. I am very active on several other forums but this is my first post on this one. Thanks for including me in your group.
I have a John Deere LA145 mower that has a Briggs & Stratton 22 hp 2 cylinder engine. I don't have the serial number handy but hopefully that won't be necessary for my issue.
The problem I have is once the mower has been sitting for a couple days it will not start. It cranks over just fine but wont fire. If I pull the air filter cover and splash a small amount of gas in to the carburetor the it fires right up and runs perfectly. I am thinking either the fuel pump is not working well or maybe the carburetor bowl is draining when it sits for a while but, honestly, I am not sure. Before I start tearing things apart I thought I would get some opinions from you all.
