HI,
I have a practically brand new B&S Intek that I bought last year and put on my lawn tractor to use solely for plowing snow in the winter. Only used it 3-4 times then ran it out of gas and it sat all summer and fall until recently. Now it won't start.
It seems like it's perpetually flooded so I thought the float was sticking as the starter turns great and there's a good spark. There's plenty of oil in the engine as well. Cleaned float mechanism-no help. Swapped float with identical float from another engine-no help. So now I'm looking for help:)
What can go wrong when an engine sits idle for a while?
Oh, and yes I did put gas in the tank.
Thanks in advance for your help.
John
