usually means you have to replace the carb and get the gasket with it. when the needle valve develops a problem they don't intend for you to fix it. this has been my experience.

Check your owner's manual

If your mower runs fine, but dies when the blades are engaged, that has nothing at all to do with the starter - or with the engine. There is a malfunction is in either the electrical system, PTO clutch or one of the safety features somewhere. Check all of the belts first for wear or breakage, then if they're OK, you probably need a small engine mechanic, but it doesn't sound really serious.

the remote has separate starting system check the unit it could be the magnetic switch. manual start bypasses this

first I would check is the low oil sensor circuit they can fail or they work best when the oil is low

Does this machine have a fuel filter if so make sure it's clean. Does it have a fuel bowl? Take it off and clean it out real good . also clean the fuel jet. These are why the engines do not start or run properly if one of these are dirty. Dirt keeps the fuel out of the carb.

go over board and check that the inlet end for the pump is not blocked with plastic sheeting or debris

Did you check the oil level? Some generators have a oil sensor that will now allow it to start if the oil level is too low.

engines don't "pull" fuel to carb , it either gravity flows (tank over top carb) there or its pumped there , I do believe the kohler engines from 8 hp thru 25 hp use a vacuum activated fuel pump (three hoses on it) these do go bad over time and need replaced , also there are fuel filters on all these engines that need to be replaced seasonally they are not cleanable there disposable

IMPORTANT replace in first priority the sparkplug (control the oil level) tankairiation if not cured The ignition coil can be thermical damaged, (try coldspray to test on it ) if ordering have high priorty on motornumber and year of build by your model to prevent there are no marketing technical upgrade/ modifications are made because then you get no spark to see either, if get the wrong for the different flywheel
