lawnmower problem

I have a Sovereign Classic 35 lawnmower with a Briggs and Stratton engine. While cutting the grass last week the engine started to stutter and finally died on me. First thing I checked was the fuel and oil levels which seemed to be ok, then the spark plug which was also ok. Next thing checked was the air filter followed by making sure that the fuel jet beneath it wasn't blocked. Again, all seemed to be in order. Getting desperate, I decided to take off the cylinder head and give both it and the valve seats a good clean up (which they sure needed!). During the rebuild I made up a new head gasket using the old one as a template. All this has achieved SFA. *I suspect that the fault is fuel supply related - possibly those two rather flimsy looking springs under the air filter which operate the butterfly valve. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Hi - have you ruled out a sticking float. Steve |
