Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Briggs $ Stratton Repair, briggs stratton, fuel leaks


Question
I 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.

I noticed in the parts list you have an electronic anti-afterfire solenoid on the carb.  Is the solenoid working?  Is the electrical system providing power to the anti-afterfire solenoid when the key is in the run position?  I've had bad anti-afterfire grounds cause your problem.

Let me know what you find.
