1992 Max IV 16 hp Briggs.
Well i think my fuel issue is resolved. Mostly centered around stupidity. Choke was not being fully disengaged and my mistrust of the fuel shutoff I installed caused me to turn it on and off. Mostly off........
She started up after choking having sat for a month and a half. After sorting out the "fuel" issue, she ran like a banshee for about 20 minutes. However, when i went to restart, the engine barely turned over and then "click, click" nothing. I was able to jump it off with my battery pack and she fired right up and did another 15-20 minutes. Same thing when i shut down again. No turn over just clicks.
Other info;
1. Battery is maybe 5 months old
2. Some Wires from ignition were pulled out accidentally and were reinserted using trial and Error 2 months ago. She has run fine electrically speaking since
3. Was using a harbor freight solar trickle charger that was connected to battery but was left Inside the vehicle under cover for that month and a half.
Any guidance appreciated
