Hello,
So I am having a time with my 4 yr old Craftsman w/ B&S 24HP(445677). Ran great last year but will not start this season. I can get it to start with starter fluid but that's it and it will only run for a second. I expected it was bad fuel so drained and replaced but no good. Then I rebuilt the carb, new plugs, fuel and oil filters and fuel pump. It still is exactly like it was when I started. The only really odd thing is I can get it to start briefly by restricting the air intake but it then dies in a few seconds. The last thing I even know to replace would be the Magnetos but I wouldn't think that was it since I know I have spark? I would LOVE any help you could give me.
Thanks for reading
Patrick
