Briggs and Stratton Intek won't start
Hi,
I have a new Husquvarna LGT2654 (purchased March 29th) with the Briggs and Stratton Intek V-Twin. It's run fine until now. It's been extremely Hot & Dry in the Memphis, Tn. Area and it's been about 3 weeks since I had to cut the grass... Now it cranks and cranks but won't start.
I disconnected the fuel filter and gas lines up to the carburetor side of the fuel pump and gas is getting through. Pulled the plugs, they had some carbon on them so I sanded and cleaned them and reinstalled. I wanted to check for a spark but wasn't sure if it was OK to just hold the plug wire a small distance away from the plug was Ok to do?? :confused:
Since it wasn't the end of the season I didn't have any stabilizer in the gas yet so I guess it could be that but I am not quite sure if spraying carb cleaner will help, where to direct the spray or if it would void the warranty... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I sprayed some starting fluid in and it did run for about 5 seconds and died...
Thanks,
Linda
