I have a lawn tractor with a Briggs and stratton 14.5hp engine. This
has a Walbro LMS carburetor. I put the machine away last week and
it was working fine.
However when I try and start it today although the engine ran
at first it had only enough power to drive the machine along
slowly. Now it just seems to stall when I apply the throttle.
I have tried adjusting the carb with no luck.
Looking into the carb when running it seems to
be giving far too much fuel. I have cleaned out the carb
but didn't make any difference.
There is a solenoid at the bottom of the carb could this
be the problem? I am told the carb was recenty
replaced when I bought the machine.
