I have a Murray rider mower with a Briggs & Stratton 14.5 OHV engine. It will not fire and start on its own. I remove the breather and pour gas in the carb and it starts great and runs long enough to burn that amount of gas. It has two wires running to the bottom of the bowl so I'm totally unfamiluar with this. I have removed bowls from conventional carbs and cleaned before but I can't see how to remove this one, nor do I know what to expect if I do. This was purchased in 1995 and has been maintained properly throughout the years.
I removed the spark plug to see if I was getting spark . I did not have a spark although it was hooked to the spark plug wire and engine turning over. However, it does fire off if I pour gas in the carb--so that confuses me as well. Maybe I don't know how to check for spark.
Engine model #287707
Type 0225 01
Code 9505124B
Sure hope someone can help for I simply can't afford another lawnmower or to hire someone to fix.
Thanks
