: : I have a 16hp. Briggs in a 1987 yr. 1606 cub cadet . My problem is it wont idle .It just kinda lopes then it dies. It will however run just fine throttled up . HELP ME. Any ideas? Thanks B.N
OLD BRIGS ARE VERY SENSTIVE TO CARB ADJUSTMENTS ,THERE IS BOTH A HIGH SPEED AND A LOW SPEED ADJUSTMENT
ALSO SOME HAD AN IDLE ADJUSTMENT GET AN BRIGS MANUAL IT WILL EXPLAIN ALL THREE ALSO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS HOLDING THE MANIFOLD TO BLOCK AND CARB TO MANIFOLD SOUNDS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE A VACUM LEAK AS AT HIGH SPEED VACUM IS AT A MINUM
