Snapper snow thrower Model 190412 stalls after 10 min of running

We have an old snapper Mod.190412 type 2738-01, ser. 1904122738-018307that has been stalling after 10 or 15 minutes of running. we hve replaced spark plug,made sure there was a spark,dismantled carb and cleaned everything(bowel,fuel injector, floater and replaced floater pin) and it still stalled after 10 min. running.Any suggestions? Does model have points and condensor that might be the cause. we have also put in higher octane gas and checked all fuel line and put in new fuel filter.

Try loosening the fuel cap when it may not be venting properly. Have a good one. Geo

That appears to have a Magnatron ignition, which means no points. However, the coil could be heating up and disconnecting inside. Next time it dies, immediatly check for spark.

Briggs and Stratton Governor Problem

S

Sean506 on Jan 08, 2010

Here's the situation: I have a Craftsman Snowblower with a Briggs and Stratton 8HP engine. Engine model number is 12E114-0268-E1. The original problem happened a few weeks ago. When under load the engine would start to die, when you took the load off it, the engine would come right back to life. I originally thought that this was the coil. I used to race motorcycles and had an identical problem a few years ago, under load on the track, the bike would die out due to the #1 coil being shot, at idle and just revving it, it would be fine. So I get a new coil and spark plug and tear it down. I put the new parts in. I also checked any wiring for loose connections with the coil, all was good. I put it back exactly as it came apart..with one exception. The governor spring fell off the flag bracket and I couldnt remember which hole it was set in. I put it in 7 I think to start off. The engine fired right up, but was running away and was extremely high rpm. I shut it down and messed with the governor spring location, moving it to various holes in the flag. Still the same thing. I dont think the governor is broken inside, as it will adjust rpm if I move it manually by hand. I have tried everything I can think of. All the parts are in the same way that they were taken apart. I has a new coil, on/off switch and spark plug, and all wires are secured tightly. Why would this do this? Any help is appreciated.Read More
