I just picked up a Troy Bilt Bronco with a twin cylinder 18.5hp ELS500 engine. Sorry, I don't think I'm going to be able to find the engine code without taking the hood and side panels off.
The guy I bought it from said he had taken it to a local service center, one that I know to be reputable, for a fuel issue. He showed me where they installed a fuel cutoff valve between the tank and engine. He said you have to keep the valvle closed when it is not running or fuel will run into the crankcase. He said they told them is was some kind of valve issue.
Can someone please tell me what problem they were attempting to correct so that I can try to fix it properly? Would it have something to do with the fuel pump? I would think it would have to be something fairly costly in parts or labor for them to just install a cutoff switch rather than fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
