Symptoms of a Failed Fuel Solenoid
-
Engine won't start — Solenoid stuck closed; no fuel reaches the main jet
-
Engine runs rough or stalls at idle — Solenoid partially stuck or intermittent
-
Loud afterfire/backfire on shutdown — Solenoid not sealing; fuel continues after ignition off
-
Engine dieseling (run-on) — Hot engine continues firing without spark
-
No audible click at key-on — A healthy solenoid makes a distinct clicking sound when 12V is applied
Installation
Simple screw-in replacement. Remove the wire connector, unscrew the old solenoid from the bottom of the carburetor bowl (10mm or 1/2-inch wrench), install the new 699915 solenoid with the included O-ring seal, reconnect the wire. Test by turning key to ON — listen for the audible click.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I test if my fuel solenoid is bad?
A: Disconnect the wire, apply 12V directly to the solenoid terminal, ground the body. You should hear a distinct click. No click or intermittent = failed solenoid.
Q: Will this fit my Craftsman riding mower with a Briggs engine?
A: Yes. This solenoid fits most B&S Intek single-cylinder OHV engines from 11-19 HP, commonly found in Craftsman, Husqvarna, John Deere, Murray, and Poulan Pro riding mowers.
Q: Can I bypass the fuel solenoid temporarily?
A: We strongly recommend against bypassing. The solenoid prevents dangerous afterfire that can damage your muffler and create a fire hazard. Replace a failed solenoid immediately.
Q: Is this solenoid compatible with E10 ethanol fuel?
A: Yes. The Viton-tipped plunger and zinc-plated body are designed to resist corrosion from ethanol-blended fuels (up to E15).
