Yard machine keeps dying.

Well tonight I checked the spark again and it seems to have a pretty good spark. I fired it up and it ran good for about 5 minutes and sputtered and cut off. But this time it fired right back up. But when I move the throttle either way it would start to sputter and wouldn't correct it's self.

IL is talking about checking the pulse line on the pump, not the fuel line. it is the one that goes from the engine to the pump. It does not carry fuel, but alternates vacuum and pressure to operate the pump. If it has a crack, this crack will open up with heat and not allow the pump to operate properly.

http://outdoorpowerinfo.com/repairs/briggs_opposed_twin_carb.asp i replaced a line that is connected to the gold nipple that's between the carb and pump that is pointing down. It's the same size as the fuel lines. Would that be the one you are talking about? The one pointing down in the first picture. The bronze fitting ?

We assumed you had a remote fuel pump, not a carb mounted pump. Have you rebuilt your pump?

I knew it was a carb mounted pump, and I assumed that he rebuilt the pump when he did the carb kit. Sounds like either the fuel pump is quiting after it gets warm, or there is something floating around inside the carb, acting like a ping pong ball.

I haven't rebuilt either of them yet. Just took them apart and cleaned as much as I could. I've had trouble finding exactly which kit I need. My engine is the 42a707 type 2238E1.

If the fuel pump cover has 3 screws holding it one use kit 694056. If the cover has 4 screws then use kit 693503

Thank you sir. And another question, will that come with carb and fuel pump parts or is it 2 seperate kits?

 

[ILENGINE]

The kit will come with carb gaskets, and needle valve. Also includes the diaphragms, and springs for the fuel pump. I don't remember if it also includes the bigger spring with the cap or not.

Ok I finally got the kit and and rebuilt the carb last night. Going to test it out tonight after work. I've noticed that the governor spring and screw assembly is very loose when the throttle control isn't all the way up is this normal or has something broke?
