About 15 years ago I gave up on that same issue after going through all
of that, and to save some grief, I installed a $30 12v electric fuel
pump from Western Auto(now Advance Auto Parts). Worked like a charm
after that. I sold that ~1985 model Craftsman mower(14hp Briggs v-twin)
a few years later.
