Hello, I have a Briggs and Stratton 26 HP engine on my Craftsman PYT9000 that keeps surging. Can anyone help me by telling me what could be wrong with it and how to fix it. I’m new to mowers but I have worked on cars.
The mower recently started backfiring, first I replaced the spark plugs and then changed the oil. I thought maybe I put in too much oil so I completely removed the plugs, all oil, and carb. I’ve since fully rebuilt the carb with new parts, left every orifice open to air out and now fully reinstalled with new oil.
What’s going on?

I have a 2015 Simplicity Regent with a 22 horse professional series. Today I was mowing, shut the mower off to move a few things, and when I got back on it would not crank. When I turn the key to the RUN position, it clicks like it’s engaging the starter whether my foot is on the brake or not. When I turn the key to the start position, nothing happens. I turned the key to the run position and jumped the solenoid and it cranks but will not start. It also now smells like fuel which leads me to believe that it isn’t getting spark. I haven’t had time to dig with it being Mother’s Day and verify there is no spark. But has anyone run into this or have any ideas? It almost seems like there’s a problem with the ignition switch the way it clicks in the run position and then nothing in the start position.
