I have Murray Riding mower 42516X92A with TVT 691 running well since Aug 2002. Off late this runs only with full choke. I am going to try run compressed air after removing sparks plug , Appreciate you making video on this.

Spark plugs will be fouled out for sure but the big problem could be a few different things but it's definitely not getting enough fuel. Dirty jets, plugged fuel filter, gasket leak or leaks. Also possible weak fuel pump

I ended up with one of these duel carb Tecumsah buying a 2004 Yard Machine. I have to change the carbs as it is spitting gas. I am a novice only having cleaned out one carb on a B&S....so it goes, being poor is hard work. Finally found the parts...got to dedicate a couple of days of Spring to this puppy!

I found one of these. The MTD mower from 1998 was headed to the scrap yard. The electrical wiring had a bad switch. The engine starts on starting fluid only. But seems to run well enough. I will research the fuel solenoid and see if that's the issue. The mower worked fine 3 years ago before the rear end failed.
@gregcarnes80

Just a quick update. Turns out that the connection between the key switch and the fuel solenoid was corroded and I bypassed it. The fuel pump was also bad so I got a fuel bottle and the engine runs fine on its own.

Can you still get parts? I just inherited one of these. The fuel lines are rotted but its been under a cover . Duel v twins just like your Tecumseh 20 exactly. What should i do ? There is deposit in the carb inlets. I really dont want to tear it all down . Ill soray out the carbs with choke coeaners and maybe let it sit the winter with some marvel. Switch out the fusk lines wash out the tank . The olugs are good and cleaned. Itll receive a new air filter if i can find one . Anything else you recommend doing? If i di this correct ill have a miwer for the next 20 years . Im running my snowblower its a 98 snowking . anyway thank you any information or point 👉 if direction i wouldn't appreciate thank you . 😊

Not sure if you can find parts, I think you're only option is Ebay or Amazon. Replace all the fuel lines. Make sure your fuel shutoff solenoids are working, if your carbs are gummed up you're going to have to go through them
