Only numbers on the engine were:

Engine Model: 2500 35 0110 B1
Engine Family: AJDGS.4202UA 279449
Displacement: 420cc
ECS: EM
EPA Compliance Period CAT: C


Thanks man!
 
take the nut off the bottom of the carb bowl

clean it out, remove the other small jet and clean it

put them back and try to run it

i bet you can do this without removing the carb

will take 5 mins MAX
 
KingCake,

The official engine number is 250035-0110-B1
That "Engine Family" number is an EPA number that we don't need.
I'm still gathering service information. Do you have a Gmail account
that I can send information to ? In the meantime, the carburetor is a
Briggs & Stratton 797758 and I found a picture of it at Sears Parts Direct
Right now I'm in the process of determining whether it's an LMT carburetor
or not.

Sent you a message with my email. Thanks!
 
KingCake,

It's looking like I'm going to have to fill out a form at Briggs & Stratton's website in order to get the service information I need. I'm going to need some further information on your generator if you can get it. It's one of those forms where it will not be sent unless all the required information is filled in. I need the following information:

Engine Model and Type Number
250035-0110-B1

Engine Code Number ?
That should be the last 8 digits next to the model and type number.
For example: 250035-0110-B1-XXXX XXXX

Product Type
Portable Generator

Product Model Number ?
That should be on the frame somewhere.

Product Serial Number ?
Hopefully next to the model number.

Product Brand
Briggs & Stratton

Purchase Date ?
If you happen to have it.

If you can't get all that information, let me know and I'll call them on the phone.

I definitely don't have the purchase date.

I tell you what: let me take the bowl off and clean the jets. If I get into trouble with re-assembly or it doesn't work I'll hit you up for more info.

I don't want to take up your time/waste your time.

You're not wasting my time. I need to have that information on hand anyway.

I'll tell you what, if you can get me the model number of the generator itself, that's
probably all I need to call it in. They're gonna wonder why I have the model
number of the engine but not the model number of the generator.

Very likely.

But make sure the gov. is adjusted properly. I've seen this to be part of the problem many times.

Some of these small engines will surge slightly when not under a load any way.
