| The best advice to you, Sir, is to load it up and take it to a fixit shop that does those things! From your questions, i can truthfully say that it would take too long to tell you how to fix it! |

| As harsh as it (rustyj's response) might seem, it is most likely the best advice to follow in this case. If the symptoms you described were actually consistent with a clogged fuel filter, or some other fuel system related issue, we might be able to steer you through to a solution. However........that smoke just IS NOT a symptom of fuel starvation. It can be a symptom of a blown head gasket, and the 28 series Briggs have been somewhat prone to blowing head gaskets....with results like yours. |

| Sounds like 2 different problems possibly. Your stalling might be a safety switch issue. When it stalls, does it seem like your engine doesn't have enough power or does it seem like the spark is killed. The 1st would indicate an ENGINE mechanical problem and the 2nd a tractor electrical problem. |

| Felix: Rusty's intentions are well meant . Follow Mownie and Bill's advice and if possible forward further info as suggested.... failing that follow Rusty's advice lol Welcome to the Site ! |
