Thanks - this was a great help. Ran out of gas, which caused the electronic fuel shut off to lock up. I removed the fuel shutoff and reinstalled and everything started working.

I have been working on my Troybuilt mower for weeks, as of today still without sucess. This is far an above the absolute BEST video on these Briggs carburetors yet. No body else has even seemed to know exactly what that solenoid is. I have removed, cleaned my carb twice now even thought it was very clean. I removed the float with that """!!** tiny damn pin, cleaned out everything as far as you can go. My mower just died halfway thru the job late last fall but i even easily drain my gas all through from the tank out of where it attaches to the carburetor. Damn MTD used rtv, or some kinda glue on the plug to the solenoid so my grey wire came out of the plug an dont wanna go back in, but ill get it. I think thanks to you my whole focus is now on that solenoid. Your info an teaching manner is top notch.

Thanks. Solenoid did work, took it out, it was stuck. Forced it up and down a couple of times. Fixed the problem. Runs great now.

Just replaced mine with a new one and it fired right up. Easy as it gets! A million thanks!!!!

Great video! Thanks. My knowledge is limited and a new spark plug is always good. I probably would spray carb starter fluid in carb to see if will start. If starts pretty sure main problem is fuel/carb.

Exactly what I needed. Thank you! When I tested my solenoid I got power but no click. I removed it and found the stem that goes up and down was rusted shut. Since I was also getting tons of gas in my oil, I watched your other video as well. Found a full carburetor kit on Amazon that comes with a new solenoid for $24 that will hopefully fix my issues. If not, I'm out $24, but worth it to suss this thing out. 🤞

Wow, as a DIY, I would never have thought the solenoid was the problem. Thanks a lot, I replaced the solenoid and worked perfectly. Thanks again, and keep up the great work 👍

This maybe the problem I have with my Craftsman Tractor. It will turn over but does not start. I'll walk through it using your techniques. Thank You!

Thanks my one handed friend, your clear and easy to understand, my R110 sat for a while until my health condition improved so I could replace the rack and pinion steering I dinged up going thru my gate to the backyard. I might have a stuck or bad solenoid. Thanks for the instructional video. Let you know how it turns out!

My 19 year old Troy Bilt riding mower is on its 3rd (or 4th) carburetor, and the bad solenoid is a common problem. Actually, I have also replaced the starter solenoid several times. The cheap e.g. $16-20 carbs from, for example, China are not very durable. I recently ordered a $100 Briggs & Stratton brand new carb and hope it will last significantly longer. I appreciate your vids and admire your expertise.

Ok, good, not as troublesome as I thought. Another video showed taking the carb completely out. I'm hoping I can get my tractor working today. Thank you for the video!

After an entire day of troubleshooting, an thinking I’ve tried everything I find this video an it was my problem! Big thanks!

Thanks for the video Brad, I need to check out my John deere tractor for that and I'm buying metric wrenches, I'll catch ya on the next one.

thanks ... just figured out that my solenoid works... and my electrical is good to that point.

I have had problems with my Yard tractor a Kohler 24HP 7000 pro series. I have learned a lot watching your videos...I am so impressed. I am not a mechanic but I managed to change my oil filer, air filter, spark plugs, fuel pump, choke and recently the ignition coil. The tractor has had problems and will not keep running evern after all of that. It runs but when I activate the PTO... it shuts off. I need to know how to change out the carborator..... I was told it is the solenoid on the carborator. I really don't know.... but my other alternative is have someone pick it up and pay a pick up and drop off fee as well as maintenance Ive already performed. Just wondering if you have a video on changing out a carborator. PS ...Please can you tell me if you can purchase just the selonid? I also want to tell you I am really impressd with the details in your videos. Thank you.

Thank you for this video brother. I was ready to trash my mower and get a new one. You have given me new inspiration. 😃

That was awesome. Another lesson learned. Thank you.

Very helpful and educational video. Clear communication and a good video to go with it. Thumbs up 👍🏾

What would have been next step? Mine doesn’t want to turnover, almost sounds like battery is struggling, but I charged it up and still having issues.

Thank you

I just replaced my solenoid and the mower fired up! Thanks for pointing this out.

Super helpful and good info. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much. You really help me with the video.

I have the same mower with the same problem. That was a lot of help . Thanks

Brilliant video I’ve tried everything so I’ll check this next. Thank you

Thanks Brad, enjoyed.

Thank You!! so much for walking through each step. Even the testing light was helpful. I am not afraid to tackle it now. I DID SUBSCRIBE because I have learned so much from several of your videos. I look forward to coming back again.

good job

Well done! Appreciate the vid.

thanks for the lesson

I watched this video because I'm wanting to bypass the clutch safety. Had a difficult time locating the darned thing on the mower. As an added note, I only have one leg. Lost a leg due to a faulty electric can opener. Now, when I go swimming...I just swim in circles. *Note: amputation was actually caused by a head on motorcycle collision when an old lady pulled into my lane...in a 1962 Chrysler.

I have an '08 tractor with a 15.5 Briggs. Came with a Nikki carb that performed erratically. Lots of folks don't like them. Replaced it with a Walbro off an even older Murray & it runs fine. The carb in your video looks like the Walbro style. Did Briggs start using them in later models?

Thank you for the good information!

Best video on you tube! Thank you! Great info

Thank you that helped me fix my mower.

What I’ve done to mine I took it off and grind it off screwed it back in and my lawnmower started right up saved all that money and I put a fuel shut off valve on it

Great video. Thanks for keeping it clean. God bless

You should tell everyone you lost your hand fighting ninjas...bwahaha. Thanks for helping us out. Everyone share with friends and get him more views.

Thanks for the update and the way you explain things thanks once again for the efforts 🙏🇩🇰👍

Same problem I had with my john deere. Same motor afaik, 1cyl briggs & stratton. My solenoid burned out, happened in the middle of a cut, couldn't figure it out until I looked closely at the clip going into the solenoid and noticed what looked like melted black plastic. No click coming from the solenoid. Had to order the replacement part which was #AUC11057. Like $75 bucks or something, still waiting to get it in. Pain in the ass lol. I don't know what would've caused it to overheat like that. Tractor isn't that old, about 160 hours.

Great work man Never surrender

$20 on Amazon for whole carb

Yes! Thank you for this video it was a 'uge help!

gunna check this on my 2014 Craftsman T1000 now. It was runing great, stalled out, I pushed it home, & now won't start. I checked fuel its getting to carb, & checked spark already. Would this be my issue too, or do i have a differnt problem?🤔 Gunna also pull carb off, & get it ultrasonic cleaned quick. I will also probably set the valves too, as soon as i find feeler guages. awesone vid

What is your opinion about cutting the tip of the fuel solenoid off to allow machine to start? I have done it in the past with no negative results that I am aware of. I always throttle down before shutting engine off.

Thanks for the information Big help

I read somewhere that the power to the solenoid is routed through the seat safety switch and if you disable that switch the solenoid will not work. Is this true?

That was my issue..thanks brotha😎👍👍

Thank you, I believe you solved my problem ❤

On my she try to start whit spray but nothing..what is problem ..carburator maybe is dirty

Great video.

Great explanations thank you

Fantastic you did it.🤕

Freaking amazing work man

I was driving my john deere and it stopped running and wouldnt start back up but cranks and was running good. And it just stopped and wouldn't start but cranks over

Fantastic...!

I have a YT3000. It starts intermittently

Hi there I have no power going to fuel solenoid but have power everywhere else. Checked all connections and they look fine, where should I look next? Thanks! I Cranks but won't start.

I have a Craftsman lawn tractor given to me and the gas tank is under the seat and I am not getting any gas up to the carburetor. Is there a fuel pump on these?

Certainly, you put your finger on the wound . Thanks

What is the part number on Amazon

How did you lose your hand?

Subbed

That's a good video. Had a similar problem with a Kohler V twin. I was able to take the valve out, take the end out put it back together and it works fine now.

Set them valves too if needed.

Mine won't even crank. Just put a new battery in it. When i turn the key it just goes "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr"
