Gasket-float Bowl 698781

Found that the carburetor bowl gasket was broken, replaced it. and now she runs like a clock.

The main jet and feed tube had gunk that needed cleaned out. The real issue was the solenoid at the bottom of the bowl. Debris was in it, and would not allow it to fully retract, partially blocking fuel flow to the main jet. I am going to need a new fuel solenoid, but these gaskets sealed everything up nicely.

Removed the carb and replaced with the new parts. Installed carb back on the unit.

Removed manifold (2 cylinder engine ) with carb. Removed bowl, blew air through orifices, reassembled and started the engine and listened to it run.

removed carb, cleaned, and rebuilt it with the new parts. installed on engine. Drained crankcase that had oil / gas mix. refilled oil and changed filter. started up and runs good.

I just replaced the parts i ordered on the carb. All parts fit as intended. However, the engine will start and run but quickly starts sputtering/missing. I also replaced the spark plug. Not sure what else is wrong but I think I can get the yard mowed with it. Just not running right.

1. I have a Murray 42" lawn tractor with a Briggs and Stratton engine. It is 17 years old and the only work I had done on it was on the cutting deck. After this winter I could not get it to start.
2. The engine would crank but not start. I put new gas in and checked the filter. I checked the spark plug and they were good.
3. I pulled the carburetor and cleaned the bowl, but the gasket was soft and brittle.
4. The engine would start bu once I pushed the throttle it would shutdown and not start back.
3.I decided I had to get into the carburetor. I bought the bowl gasket and the check valve. I pulled the carburetor down and cleaned it out. There was sludge in the bowl and jet. I rebuilt it with he new parts and the engine started in the first start.

Remove the screw from the bottom of the float bowl and the gasket. Remove bowl and clean the inside of it. Removed the old gasket and installed the new one. Then reattached the bowl to the carburetor with the screw.
