Yes, you’re correct. Murray 5/25 is 5 hp with 25" blade. I try to figure out some specific model number for this, to ensure the right drive belt.

That’s good info, thank you. What year is this mower? 2004? Yes, the driver belt is okay and in use (but I think it’s slipping and somehow worn). My problem is that I really do not know what is the proper way to change the belt in this mower. I think the easiest way is to remove whole lot of...

Hello everybody! What model Murray is this one? I have used the name ”Murray 5/25” but now when I have to buy a new driver belt I can‘t find the exact model. The model sticker is only partly readable and says something like: Model number 255? 5X20A Date of manufacture 25030 Any...

Hello Sir!

Okay, great. Thanks! (y) I think I've heard about that ”warped tank”... Below some photos. Is those the surfaces (marked with red arrows) that should be well sealed?

Thank you for the advice. Yes, it has to be a fuel problem. I have missed something. The carburator is a ”jet pulse” type, not very complicated but the problem is a total mystery for me. Is there some nozzle, intake or something that I should look and inspect especially carefully? Or some...

Hello! I need hard core expert level help with my Murray 5/25 engine. The engine works, pretty good, but I can't keep it running. If I actively adjust the choke then it runs somehow, but without that adjusting the engine stops. I have inspected the carburetor very carefully. Took it apart...

Yes, it's powering a mower, Murray 5/25. Yes I have. I have to tried do that very systematically and carefully. I get the motor started, it will run. Both idle, low and high rpm, there is power. BUT, only if I manually ”manage” and control it. That means, I keep an eye on and adjust the...

I ordered the Carburetor Kit for Briggs & Stratton from MSG Supply. Super fast delivery, thanks! (It took almost a month from my local post office to deliver the kit...) I managed to replace all the gaskets and parts, I also carefully inspected the carburetor. Looks clean and good. It also...

Very good video, thank you very much. (y)

Thank you for all the great advices. mfgsupply.com is a gold mine, thanks! Okay, I think my carburetor's throttle shaft bushings are more or less loose. Is there anything I can do? About the ”carb base warping”, I'm not sure where to look. This carburetor is quite simple... I tried to...

Thank for all the info. I have now removed the carburetor-tank-combo to my ”laboratory” for more detailed inspection. My plan is to first try some clean up and non-destructive studying... The engine is labeled: Briggs & Stratton 5hp Model 130902 Type 1237 01 Code...

Yes, exactly. If I put the screw back, it stops the engine. Okay, good advices, thanks to all. I'll remove the carburetor, clean it (and study)... I'll try that Berryman's B12 carb cleaner, too. Let's see how it goes!

Hello everybody! I need some help or advice with my Briggs and Stratton 5 hp (Model 130902). Tje problem seems to be with the Jet Pulse Carburetor. Very simple, but I'm lost! I can get it run but only without the airfilter – or more specific, without the screw in the middle of the...
