You dont have a GOV problem, its fuel, almost bet my pay check on it.

I worked on one of those older 17 hp briggs, fuel pump on the carb, and tore it apart like 3 times. Even got my boos to double check it. Was doing almost the same thing. Turned out to be small chunks of rubber from the fuel line breaking down and getting into the jet.

All that little celonid dose it let the fuel come in for high idle. Heres some things to look for.

Are you sure its getting enough fuel?

Is the intake leaking?

Fuel filter?

Can you keep it running if you work the carb by hand, forcing the fuel in, not useing the gov and linkage?

Did anyone mess with the linkage on the control plate?

When I would tae the cables off the carbs, I would mark them so they were back in the clips in the same area, made for adjustments easyer.

I wish you were closer, I like messing with the commands! Took 3 and made one good one for my welder.

When I was talking with the engineer at Kohler school about it he called it positive crank case ventalation, like its got plenaty of ventalation LOL

I really like the commands, I now have 2 sitting on the floor. Going to put one in my 482 that Im turning into a 582 and the other has a broen rod, but it didnt runin anything else in the block,Most times when the rods break, it wipes out everything.

So its not the governor. If I spray starter fluid into the carb it will stay running. The Slow jet that has a pattern of 3 holes down the side, does that have a thru hole too? This is the one Jet that I was unsure of. My grass is two weeks high now. I ordered a slow jet and a main jet from my local cub cadet dealer, 44 bucks with shipping. Does anyone have ideas? I talked with a service guy and he told me to buy a new carb. HA, If money grew on the trees in my back yard that would be possible. He told me that I had diagnoised it like they would have. He said sometimes you just cant get all the ports clean and ethenol seems to be the culpret.

I like the welder, that thing is Cool! Does the engine run a generator for current? Then it is portable?

Rebuild the carb! Heck of alot cheaper then buying a new one!

Here is the lattest and greatest. Good news is I got the mower running and the PTO going again. Bad news was it wasnt the Carb. I discovered that when I turned the key nothing would happen, a new development. So then I eliminated the brake switch, still nothing. I then got my volt meter and started to test the wires going into the PTO switch a thte connectors. Remember my original post was PTO stopped working. Well chances are if the PTO stops working the switch might be bad. That switch also ties into the relay for the seat safety switch and the brake safety switch. Anyway I got two 12v readings from the connector from both the seat and the brake. My thoughts to why it would only run for a few seconds; The voltage took a little while to activate the relay which opens the circuit and kills the mower (it acts as if the seat switch is open). So I bought a 7 dollar 12v toggle switch at Aubuchons and hooked it up. I also bypassed both safeties from the brake and seat, but I wont go into detail there. Booya, the mower fired right up. I tested the pto with the mower deck off and it worked. Put the tractor back together and finally cut some grass! Thanks to everyone that helped out.

Awesome news! Don't forget to get replacement safety switches!

The reason your tractor will start and shutt off is from the fuel selonid on the carburator.
I have a cub 2185 that did the same thing. My repair for the problem was to take the selonid out and grind off the end of it. That will let in the fuel and problem solved. The only reason that the selonid is there is to stop back fireing or run on when the engine is shut off.
My 2185 runs just fine with out the seloind.
