Engine # 31C707 0230E1 030625ZE Nikki Carb # 697216 G02703 3211 B I recently purchased a non-running 9 yr old mower that looked like new (hardly used & garage kept). Found they had left ethanol gas in the tank over winter & destroyed the fuel line. I got it running & have put about 3hrs mowing on it since. The thing I can not figure out is that it starts up perfectly and runs perfect when mowing but sputters & backfires / pops thru both the carb & exhaust when not mowing & also when either at idle, slow, or fast throttles. Also it will not rev past mowing speed setting on throttle. The sputtering starts about 3-5 secs after start up. I've performed the following thus far after reading many posts on this site: - Drained bad gas & replaced with fresh no ethanol type - replaced fuel line & fuel filter (but used a bigger one Fram G2 1144) - Disassembled the carb & flushed w/ carb cleaner 3 times (the main jet intake seat was completely clogged - replaced float bowl gasket (B&S p/n 698781) since they were destroyed - can not remove the mixture valve (governor) per mfg - new air filters - new battery & spark plug (gapped to 0.03) - adjusted valves 1/4" past TDC & gapped per instructions - anti-backfire solenoid on carb has 12.5V to it & will shut off & not run if the solenoid wiring harness is removed from the solenoid - breather tube is clean as well as intake ports - gas cap is clean & air flows thru - checked seat sensor safety switch but not any others (sputters all the same w/ & w/o the switch plugged in) - battery reads 12.5-12.8V & does not jump around (lower) when sputtering - changed oil & put Sea Foam in the oil & in the gas (only been ~ 1hr mowing since adding Sea Foam though) - wire brushed the flywheel to remove rust to see if it would help if a coil issue (just a thought anyway...why not) - strong vaccum through air intake before the carb Possible Solutions not checked: coil (but would I not see this in the voltage readings & why no issues when mowing ?), safety sensors other than seat, valve sticking but hopefully Sea Foam will eventually work it clear (not even sure how I would check for this or correct it)
Hi, run a number drill through the main jet. Even though you have carby cleaned it a thin layer of residue will remain on the walls of the jet. The problem you have is a lean misfire. Regards Phil.

murray riding mower 12.5 hp briggs & stratton spitting oil & gas out of carb & muffler when trying to start
hello sir check to see if the engine is over full on oil and gas in the engine .this will make starter drag eventually ruining starter.this is the only thing i can think of other than engine having high compression except valves not opening and the pressure relief valve not working,or engine low on oil 30 WT, is also important to keep good oil in engine and full. the solenoids under the carburetor will go bad, if you have one. make sure you keep battery charged. if it is follow these directions ,well it is a simple fix,but a lot to correct problem, parts needed,1 new spark plug,1 new solenoid,1 quart of 30wt oil,1 pan to catch old oil in. tools needed,1 spark plug wrench,1,7/16 or 1/2 or 9/16 open wrench,pen&paper. ok, empty fuel tank or clamp off fuel line,make a drawing as how the wires are connected to the solenoid,white & black wires,unplug wire fittings,remove solenoid, in stall new solenoid,plug wires in. now drain oil & gas out of engine,remove old spark plug,important so follow directions,after oil is drained plug is out crank engine so to clean out cylender of excess oil & gas,it would be a good ideal to let oil drain for a while. add oil & spark plug,engine will smoke for a while but should clear up.when you go to the parts store you will need engine horse power,engine brand,mobel number,type number,parts should cost around 50.00. including everything you need,check oil often you can put a inline fuel shutoff in the fuel line about $5.00, or replace solenoids for $40.00.hope this helps,good luck;MrFixIt. oh please don't forget to give rateing,thank you..

the rear wheel has a nut and washer to remove but after removing them how does the rim come away from the shaft. No sign of a wood ruff key evident or even a spline on the shaft?
These wheels are usually just held on with a Key way, ALOT OF TIME they offer resistance because they are rusted insode the rim and are needing a mallet to hit them from the inside pretty hard.
Turn it as you can usually a lever on the back side of the mower can be pulled out without the brake on to slip the transmission into nuetral. Turn the tire. I have used a small peice of 2x4 as well because a hammer dont fit well. Good luck I will watch this post and search my Diagrams to see if i have this rider tmrw at work.!

I cannot get the transmission to shift into any gear. This is the manual transmission (need to stop with brake before shifting)
have you removed a rear tire recently? If so, you may have pushed the square key that locks the rim to the axle out

belt seems too loose it slips when I engage to cut the grass can it be adjusted or do I have to replace it thank you
Note: This is about a different mower, but it might be similar enough to yours. If not, please disregard. Thanks!
I had a similar issue with our mower, a 2006 Troy-Bilt Pony model 13AN77TG766 (17.5 HP, 42 inch deck): when I pushed the handle down to engage the blades, it took a good ten seconds or so to start the blades turning; even then, they didn't have enough power to cut the grass. And on any height setting lower than 5, they wouldn't turn at all.
The cause was on page 19 of the manual <URL:http://manuals.mtdproducts.com/mtd/DocGetter?doc=769-02243a.pdf>: Figure 17 shows the "PTO" cable attaching to a hole on the edge of the deck idler bracket, but it was shipped from the factory attached to a hole in the middle of the deck idler bracket, about 3 cm (1 in.) closer to the front end of the machine. I reattached the cable to the original hole, and the belt is now good and tight; the blades engage as soon as I push the handle down.
Now, today, I'm having problems with the belt popping off the right-hand idler (hopefully just needs the deck stabiliser rod adjusting).
Always remember to remove the spark plug wire before you go near the blades; and watch for hot, sharp, and/or pinching surfaces.
Good luck!
