My Murray riding mower requires the speed selector to be placed in the START or CHOKE position to start.
Won't start otherwise.
I'd spray some Carb-Cleaner into the carb while it is running until it stalls, let it set an hour and start it up again.
Try some carb cleaner additive to gasoline also - dissolves the gummy deposits in bad gasoline...some gasoline is full of "garbage" - cheap, "no-name" gasoline especially.
Here is a very important note - every winter you must put something called "STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer" into the gasoline you leave setting in any 4-cycle gasoline powered device...!
This stuff is not very expensive and will keep the gasoline from gumming up the carburetor when it freezes during winter months.
I swear by it! Had many carburetor problems in Spring before I discovered STA-BIL (sold in any "Hardware" type of store in a nice dispenser bottle).
My husband said to tell you this.. the float may be stuck and gas is not getting into the carburator. If it doesnt have a float in it then try removing the carburator and cleaning it. But as the Dr said PLEASE be careful!!
Chuck, I can't answer your question, but I can tell you I have had umpteen burn patients I've treated thru the years who came to me courtesy of putting gasoline in a carb................please be careful, or you might be umpteen and one!
