QuestionI have a Briggs 18HP I/C Model: 422707 Type: 1263 01
Code:9403095B
While mowing a few days back the engine quit running as if it ran out of fuel. I try to crank it and it will not start until I sprayed fuel into the throat of the carb. When that fuel burnt out it quit again. After several times of the same process over, I decided it must have a bad fuel pump. I took out the old pump, there was fuel at the pump, and cleaned the inside the best I could without taking the carb off. I then installed the new fuel pump and tried cranking again and the same thing it will only run when I spray fuel in the throat of the card. I can see no fuel leaks anywhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Answerhi billy
sounds like when you ran out of gas might have got some gunk in the carby often happens
clean tank out , clean/ clear fuel hose - then refill tan see if good flow from tank to pump
disconnect line from pump to carb - crank engine over should have good flow
everything being = with good compression , spark and at right time sounds like a fuel problem
remove carby , make note of spring and link positions clean and clear all jets and passages inside carb with crc and blow compressed air through them , do not use any wire it will damage them , make sure main jet is not blocked and float is shutting off fuel flow
reassemble carb and refit
remember F A C T S all 5 needed for engine to run
F = Fuel
A = Air
C = Compression
T = Timming
S = Spark
hope this helps cheers paul
