Hi Guys,

thanks for the info. I was in the process of ensuring the soleniod was firing before I started taking the carb apart. I have to make sure that the soleniod is active while I'm cranking position. It definitely snaps when I turn the key "on" but not sure about it when in the cranking position.

I've also looked at the discharge side of the fuel pump. I assumed that it would be squirting all over the place while cranking but it really was not. I will go to the carb next. I would have thought a new engine would behave better than this.

Anyway, you guys have been very helpful. I'll let you know.

Hello, I've replaced a Briggs and Stratton engine (model 461707) with a newer one (model 303777) and I cannot get it to start with out spraying gas into the cylinders first. So, with choke full on, it will not pick up any fuel. There is a fuel soleniod on the carb and it is wired. I'm pretty sure this is working. I know it sounds nuts but there is not enough room on the internet to relate this nightmare.

Any help is appreciated,

Ed
