Re: gt 245 kawasaki prob

Im having trouble with my jd mower- when i shut it off, it will not restart----pulled air filter and found about 1/8 inch of fuel and engine oil laying underneath it-[ right in front of the butterflys]- soaked it up with a paper towel, left it set about 20 min and it started right up-----has new sparkplugs, air filter, fuel filter------did this a couple times last summer also-20 hp twin cyl Kawasaki, has 600 hrs on it, bought in 2003 .Carb is factory and book says no adj there-------any ideas on where i need to be looking would be appreciated. -there is a clear vent tube coming off carb- tried to blow through it [mouth] couldnt do it---tipped it up and filled with carb cleaner, let it sit overnight and tube still full today------shouldn't i be able to blow through it an shouldnt fluid drain down? thanks guys-bear with me- i'm learning

still doing it, if i start it cold-it starts easily and mow the whole 2 acres with it , it runs fine until i shut it off and then it will not restart---let it sit for i/2 hr and it will start back -new air filter, gas filter, sparkplugs and vent tube-choke seems to work fine-butterflys opening and closing as they should, have sprayed carb cleaner in it heavily, have run a tank with "seafoam additive" through it---what can i try and what am i missing=====thanks Jim
