Now this remark is the "dud", as the fuel solenoid has nothing to do with a flooding float/ needle/seat problem....

Maybe if you would read the whole post you would not look so dumb all the time.

The key words. IF IT IS BAD
Not once did I say it was the cause of his problem.

Putting a inline shut off valve does not fix it. It is just a Bandaid
Fix it right and replace the fuel solenoid if it is bad.

Sorry, let me come back to OZ..

If the "AFTERFIRE Solenoid" is not working, then the engine wont start, or shut off the engine if the power is cut off
to it..

An inline shutoff is a great idea as the newer carbs and crap gas can flood the engine sitting in the garage over the
week sitting in the garage. As the leaking inlet needle/float is what floods the engine, not the fuel solenoid.

Well, these new carbs have been problems, and even new ones will flood from time to time. But you have never replaced a new carb for customer, and still have the little basterd flood, have you???????

Because you have never worked on this chit for a living, have you?????

The last time I opened a shop in town, I didn't try to become dealer for any brand, for many, many reasons. But
one of them is the warranty issue. When you put on a brand new carb for a customer under warranty, and it still floods the engine, and it fouls the crankcase, and the air filter, what do you all think what happens????

Yes, a lot of phone calls and a lot of paperwork/filing, and the small dealer loses money all around. They bought the
turd at Lowes or Walmart, and you have put on new carb, which is not warrantable, fought with them tooth and
nail, replaced everything in their fuel system, and the sumbitch still floods. Who pays????

If you bought the mower from me, I would feel obligated, but the small dealers are swarmed by the big-box
warranty claims...

Did I not say replace the gasket?

Just the way you wrote it, I thought you meant a new head gasket wasn't nessassary after removing the head. gregjo1948

Wow just the other day you was fighting with revits You said that the needle was not why the engine floods.

I get it.

When I said I am not saying he needs a new gasket. I ment that I was not saying that was what is wrong with his engine.

Fish--Isn't the solenoid basically a "power" needle and seat. I have thought one was working because I heard it click when power was suppllied. It clicked but didn't open. I haven't come accross one that stayed open after removing power. I'm also with the understanding that this solenoid is used to stop the backfire after you turn the engine off. What do you think/ gregjo1948

 

[Carscw]

I did not know the solenoid shut the engine off. I always thought the coil shut the engine off.

So not sure how my engines shuts off with the tab on the solenoid cut off and no wires going to it.
