QuestionI have a 21 inch john deere push mower that has a briggs motor on it, 3.5hp i think model:93508 Type:0355-01 code:81120702
the problem is it is flooding itself out. I bought a used tank/carb for it and tried that, but still acts the same way as it did with the original tank/carb. gas is good, fresh oil, could it be the shear key is partially sheared causing the timing to be off?
