My Craftsman DYT 4000 will not start after shutting off. Briggs 18.5 intek OHV engine. Took carb apart looked clean all the way. Bypassed safety switch in seat, dried plug out, it was wet with gas but not too bad. I can get it to pop barely if I disconnect fuel solenoid. brake pedal down, clutch disengaged and choked and nothing. Could this be a sudden problem with the valves being out of adjustment? I’m going to try this when I get home. Please help anyone this is driving me crazy not being able to figure out. Oh, and it will not fire even after shooting it with some starting fluid.
