I have a Craftsman riding mower #917287080 with a B&S 20 hp 31P977 0575E engine. This thing randomly quits as if it is running out of fuel. I have spark, I had replaced the magneto, plug ,cleaned the fuel tank, checked the vent, new fuel lines, filter,clipped the plunger end off the solenoid, ( that worked for at least a year), air filter is good yet it still happens. All parts were replaced under regular maintenance. Now the kicker..... when this stops, if I introduce a little compressed air into the tank through the vent hole, it will start and run. I'm thinking carburetor needs to be replaced.
