Have a troy-bilt rider with Kohler SV590S (SV590-0017, see below) that has been stored and unused last season (2012), i.e. stored fall 2011, with stabilizer treated gas. Now won't go. new gas, Fuel flow from tank to carb OK (through fuel filter), fires if carb sprayed with carb cleaner. Solenoid works (don't know if it was stuck at first before I pushed on it a couple of times).
Got the bowl off, ruined the gasket. Local repair shop pointed out that a disk (about 3/8 inch) was missing, probably due to freezing with water in gas. He had kit with gasket, disk and other pieces.
Cleaned carb with carb cleaner, which blew through all the various ports (3x so far). Reassembled, still dies when (jump) starting, but runs for a few seconds with some carb cleaner down the throat. Can hear solenoid click, bowl now has some gas in it when removed.
Each time I made sure that the various interlocks were OK - seat down or bypassed, brake on, PTO (blade) off, and jump started since battery is only good for a few tries if charged overnight.
Note there is no evidence of a fuel pump as shown in the manual as the gas line goes from fuel tank to filter to carburetor.
Now what? Any suggestions for troubleshooting & fix ups so that my son doesn't have to use the push mower again? Can't afford repair shop diagnostics - unemployed
(will probably have to replace battery again if this thing starts)
Kohler Courage 19 Engine SV590S (electric start) Spec no SV590-0017 (MTD) SN 3605950363 (found manuals online including service manual 20 690 01 Rev. G)
Troy-Bilt Model 6605 SN 1C026H20244 Manufactured 3/2006 13AX60TG766 (found manuals online)
BTW: Also when moving carburetor assembly noticed an extra spring on the ground - about 1 5/8 inches long with squared hook at one end and rounded "eye" at other, narrower coil at hook end to wider coil at "eye" end. Looks brand new and mower is 2006 so suspect spring is from something else, like a new bike that was being worked on a few days earlier. Also not in found in any of the parts diagrams related to the fuel & throttle assemblies. Hopefully it is not from the mower. Looked at Troy-Bilt mowers with Kohler engine in store with similar throttle/choke assembly and do not see any evdience of this spring.
I have the following online manuals obtained online over the last few days. Note that file names listed below have been prefixed with descriptive names

Answer
I think that you still have something in the carburetor that needs to come out. Sometimes it is difficult to get the things clean. I use a chem dip type cleaner that I got from the auto parts store specifically for carburetors. Comes in a gallon can for around $20.00 but last for years and is good for a lot of parts. You take the carb apart and soak for an hour or so, rinse it with water and blow it dry with compressed air. Works first time every time, except once on a outboard motor, but that is a different story. It is possible to get them cleaned out with spray carb cleaner once they are off and taken apart but it doesn't work as well as the soaking cleaner. When taking things apart that are somewhat complicated, a digital picture or two can save your bacon in the home stretch. Anyway, what you describe sounds to me like a dirty carburetor.

I am almost 16 and I weigh about 130 lbs. I am 5ft 6in. i dont want a small bike, but i dont want it to be too big. i was thinking the seat should be about 39 in from the ground little more little less. help me out?
Answer
first thing is if you want a motocross dirt bike there are 2 strokes and 4 strokes. think of a 2 stroke as being half the cc of a 4 stroke with the same power.
so a 125cc 2stroke to 250 cc 4 stroke are similar
and a 250cc 2 stroke to 450cc 4 stroke are similar
the 125-250 class motocross bikes have about the same seat height as the 250-450 class motocross bikes, 35-40 inches.
a 125-250 class motocross bike is a good bike for a rider with some experience or at least willingness to learn. a 250cc-450cc motocross bike is much better for an experienced rider with a good health care coverage plan. they are not for beginners.
so if you want a motocross bike with a 39" seat height you can choose between any 125-250 or 250-450 motocross because the seat heights are all close to the same and offer adjust-ability through lowering the rear shock anyway. one of my friends is about your size and rides a 450cc 4 stroke no problem, but i am 6'2 and on his bike i have to lean over to put a foot flat on the ground.
i think youll be ok with a 125-250cc motocross bike if you have some motorcycle skills. plus youll be able to grow into the bike instead of out grow it like a smaller bike. if you want a bigger bike with a good amount of power, but not a monster dirtbike a 125-250 motocross might be just what your looking for.
one thing you need to consider is that a 250-450 cc motocross bike will likely be a kick start only bike, and are extremely hard to kick start in most cases. and a 125-250cc motocross will be far from easy also.
if you want electric start you can consider a trail bike in the 200cc +- class. they are not as racy and powerfull as the motocross bikes but tend to be more mellow for long rides and you can find them with electric start more easily than a motocross bike. they have enough power to keep you interested for sure. they are usually more reliable and require less maintenance in most cases too. the seat heights will be about 35 inches give or take an inch and in most cases are adjustable up or down like the motocross bikes. they are usually A LOT cheaper too. they sometimes if not always are heavier than a motocross bike with a similar engine size. They often have a headlight which is a huge plus for off road riding, but you can get trail versions of many motocross bikes too, they are just harder to find and will be more expensive. i had a motocross bike for a trail bike with no headlight and i just taped a strong flashlight to my handlebars or helmet. not the best but it works in an emergency.
here is a site link to Yamaha's 2011 dirt bike lineup and it include motocross and trail bikes for you to have a look at. there is a lot of specs and info plus pictures. have a look at seat heights, bikes with headlights, the weight of bikes, etc to help you make a decision on which bike will suit your needs. if you look around at the different brands websites you can find out what dirt bikes they make and the specs of each.
if i where to recommend two trail bikes from yamaha for you they would be the ttr 230 for a trail bike, or the wr250f if you want to spend more for a trail oriented motocross bike.
in the motocross race bike 125-250 class you could choose a yz125 or yz250f. i dont think with your size and weight you will be comfortable with the power of a 250-450cc bike.
