Ok lawn mower engine wont start

[gokartcrazy]

I have a cv16s 16.5 motor on my lawn tractor and i cant find any advice.... Ok here it is hope you can help!! my lawn tractor wont get gas to the engine some one said it was the CARBURETOR selenoid its bad? well i bypassed it with a bold a 1/2 inch bolt from what i was told to do and it still wont start there is a wire that went to it and now its not connected to anything. Is that suppose to be connected to somthing for it to start? or do i have to by a selenoid? figured some of you gokart guys out there had or has a sim. problem

Do you have spark? I know that harness has a purpose in ignition but works with the noid unplugged because I eliminated one over the summer.

it has spark cus ill pput gas in manually and it will fire rite up the carb is not allowing the gas to enter the cylinder

Gokartcrazy, go get a new fuel shutoff solonoid and your problem will be solved. You should hear it click when it opens when you turn the key with the wire connected.

I think your bolt might be the problem, order the real part.

Hahahahahahaha im a retard no offence to the handycaped!! well any way wile cleaning the carb, i cleaned all the ports but didnt see one. in one in the float chamber there is a needle sized hole that lets gas into the stem where that bold screws into to well that was clogged like a mofo lol. i cleaned that and started it, it backfired so much it seemed like it blew my muffler off then i tryed again fired right up so problem solved thanx for all your posts. problem was ME!!!!!
