I have a Craftsman LT1000 with a Briggs and Stratton engine, Family: ybsxs.5012vp 274826 Model: 31c707
At first, it seemed like a fuel issue: I cleaned the gas tank, loosened the cap, replaced the fuel line, installed a filter and fuel shut-off, cleaned the carburetor several times, replaced the gaskets.
It was running pretty good for a little while, then it would sputter and die after 20-30 minutes of mowing. the next day it might start for a little while and then sputter and die.
Then it wouldn't start at all unless I poured a little gas down the elbow intake. It would then run until the fuel burned off. I cleaned the carb again,confirmed fuel solenoid was working, tested several ways and it was definitely getting fuel but still wasn't starting without the extra gas in the intake.
Now it doesn't start at all. It was suggested that it might have been the ignition coil. I replaced it. I have confirmed the spark plug is getting good spark.
Its still not cranking up. What else can I try?
