I have a Craftsman 15.5HP Riding mower w/ a Kohler engine. It has spark, and the fuel pump works. I just replaced the soleniod in the carb bowl and it STILL won't stay running. It will run by putting gas directly into the carb. I had it running during the winter plowing snow. HELP

By the way... I did replace the fuel filter already. It's getting fuel up to the carb.

Never mind... I took the carb off, and shook it around abit, and re-installed it. I guess it knocked some dirt loose that was in it and once re-installed, it started right up and stayed running!

Good Job on self fixing
