Thanks again to everyone for the advice on my last post. I feel like I’m getting closer here. I’m still doing some troubleshooting on my 2164 engine stalling after use. I tested the flow from the filter, fuel pump, etc and the flow seemed consistent, but the line in the video attached from the fuel pump to the carburetor and I’m questioning if this flow is steady enough?

As an update from my last post, I did the tap test on the carburetor yesterday to loosen the pin and after that, it seemed to run okay for about 10 mins vs the 15 seconds when it was stalling before. Now I’m back to square one… testing the lines again. Also did a carb cleaner to see if that helps. Thanks everyone.

Hey all, I started mowing my lawn today and after about 15-20 seconds the engine stalled on me. It would crank back up right away then slowly stall again.

My first thought was the emergency shut off switch was getting triggered when I hit a bump in the yard, but it stalls even when idle. Any idea what might be causing this? Gas appears to be making it to the fuel filter, but I suppose it couldn’t be enough.

Thanks in advance!
