Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Briggs and stration 17.0 hp OHV, briggs and stration, c briggs


Question
Yes I have a murray High Performance I/C Briggs and Stration OHV Model 313777 Type 0135-E1 Code 020110ZE every time I start it it will stay running but as soon as i throttle up it will die.. I noticed that there is some kind of a sensor on the solivent boul so i took it off to make sure it was clean and took the bowl off and make sure the needle looked ok.. but when i put it all back together.. still the same thing.. i dunno if that sensor is bad or not.. and i dont know where to find one at for it..

Answer
The device you are talking about is the anti-afterfire solenoid.  Usually when they go bad the mower will not start at all.

Did the problem start when you were mowing?  Will the engine accelerate with the air filter off?  Will the engine accelerate if you place  you hand over the carburetor throat providing more fuel to the engine?

Does your application use a fuel pump?

Have you replaced the spark plug?
