I'm a big fan of installing one of those very low cost black & red fuel shutoff valves between the tank and the filter. Makes working on things downstream a whole lot simpler. Virtually ALL available gas in my area for 20 years is 10% ethanol.

thanks for helping me ! im not mr fix it . ive been having throttle related riding mower starting problems. got that dealt with . got WAY back in the hollow , moved around on the seat wrong and it auto stopped. then OF COURSE its not gonna run . it would start and then stall and the the battery is running down. so there i am marooned in the amazon, i dont know whats wrong with it but i DO KNOW i couldnt fix it if i did. what a horrible feeling. so i dragged myself all the way back to the house and pulled up youtube and there you were ! i couldnt do the whole procedure back there but WITH YOUR HELP i surely WAS able to get the lines off and clean them out for the emergency fix ! put everything back together and ZOOM ! fired right up. it was such a relief to pull that mower safely into the garage. so if you ever get frustrated with posting your stuff please know that your kindness really helped me when i needed it the most and that your efforts are appreciated. thank you sir.

This was so great! I agree, if it's a LT1000 Craftsman they're oldies but goodies and I love mine so much, same green color, and want to save her. But the last couple months two people tried to solve why she runs 20 mins then chokes and dies. Put in a new carburetor and everything so now my auto mechanic recommended this fuel filter change saying sometimes a new carb can clog it even though you can't see the dirt in it. Wish me luck! I'm probably a little older than you, single female and feel like I can try this by myself now.

I had a similar problem with my Husqvarna riding mower, briggs and stratton Intek V twin 24.0. Anyways it would run sometimes for 10 minutes, then would seem like it was starving for fuel, cut off , restart sometimes etc. I took the carburetor off, thinking some trash was in the bowl, inspected the float, needle and seat, everything looked really clean. Rebuilt the carb since I had it off, new o rings gaskets cleaned the jets etc. Installed it and fired right up, mowed yard for maybe five minutes, then the stalling , cutting out again. mind you my front yard has a slope to it. After pushing my riding mower back into the garage I was like this thing is starving for fuel. I checked my fuel filter, it was clean but noticed no fuel in it. Turns out my fuel filter was just a degree or two off to get the fuel from the tank, so I rearranged the fuel filter with the flow side pointed more downward, all of a sudden I see gas accumulating into the filter ! I zip tied it to another hose or cable so it will remain in that position. Ran great after that, was able to finish my yard and problem solved. Sorry for the long rant, but I just wanted to say sometimes it's the simple things that get over looked, like I did ! maybe this will save someone some time if they have a similar problem. Thanks for your videos and I do appreciate them !

While a degraded fuel line can be one cause, there can be multiple causes for reduced flow. The mower is a gravity fed system without a fuel pump which depends on the height of the tank above the carb for the pressure. A low rise gravity fed system does not exert enough pressure to effectivly flow through a 70 micron paper element filter. Gravity fed systems are supposed to use a simple screen disc type filter which has a much lower resistance to flow. Was there a prefilter in the tank? In could be clogged with debris from refilling.

I'm not fixing "Boogie Man" issues for YT content. I'm fixing a machine that is broken, I say this because if you actually own one of these or have worked on one of these mowers then you would have not made a comment like "Was there a prefilter in the tank? In could be clogged with debris from refilling." and you would know that the filters used do not matter. In the 40+ years I have been repairing mowers I have seen Briggs use all types of filters on various motors. Filter type is a myth. Minus 50 pts to the keyboard tech. Cheers

Fixed a mower this week that would run for just a few minutes then quit. Turned out to be the vent hole in the center of the gas tank cap had become blocked with some sort of crystallized goo. It would run until the tank pressure became a vacuum. Opening the cap would relieve the vacuum allowing the engine to run, the lower the fuel level, the longer it would run before creating a vacuum. Removed blockage from vent hole, instant fix.

Weird. I've had my riding mower for ten years and have never had that sort of problem and I use gas from whatever gas station I happen to be at so I'm sure it has ethanol in it. In the fall I put in some fuel stabilizer and in the spring it's always fired right up with no problems. Same with my little push mower and I've had it for 20 years. I do regular maintenance to them both. I do need a new push mower but not because of anything with the engine, but because after 20 years the deck has just about rusted out (there are several holes in it and I had to bolt on a bracket 2 years ago to hold one of the wheels on it because the wheel fell off where the bolt hole had rusted out) Both have Briggs engines. The push mower has a 3.5hp briggs classic and the rider has a 20hp briggs Intek engine.

Get a can of starter fluid, take off the air cleaner and start the mower, as soon as the engine starts to die off spray the starter fluid into the carb. If the engine keeps going you still have a fuel issue (fuel pump?) If the engine still dies off then you may have a ignition issue, coil, condenser.....etc. Try this. Good luck.

Understand, Iam NOT a professional, but this is how I would troubleshoot.

@@breakerbroke23 Did that as well. Time to take it to a service shop and pay through the nose, I guess. Thanks very much.

My gas line has good fuel supply. When I turn the key to start, it tries once with what fuel reached the plug (just enough to kick) then it just turns over ,over but won't try to start. I turn the key off, wait for a sec. ' and try again and it does the same thing.

Same with mine. Had no spark. Changed plug and coil both and now it'll fire a few times then quit after trying to idle.

Hello, I have a Jhon deer Gx75 riding lawn mower, but it shots off. Can you give me an idea of what's wrong?
