Also to make air from the flywheel blow against the governor vane.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to say it would be a big deal, I just mentioned it out of curiosity to where it puts the wheel edge in relation to the deck edge.. Have a good one, Doug!

To help other LawnBoy fanatics like myself, I keep a downloadable LawnBoy Service Manual on my website: LawnBoy Service Manual

Have you seen an improvement doing that? This moves the wheels outboard the thickness of the washer. That, along with the extra ~1/2" shoulder length will come close to making the wheels contact trim before the deck does, which would limit how close you can trim. Do you get that issue...

Are you certain about the diameter? I just checked a new commercial (bearing) wheel against an NOS 603441 wheel bolt (i.e., made for plastic wheels) and it was the correct diameter, 1/2". The shoulder does need to be longer for the commercial wheel, approx. 1/2", maybe a little more. The...

Sorry, but I have never heard of a place where you can get new rubber tires put on used lawnmower wheels. But as a builder who has messed with both, I say switch to non-bearing wheels. Regular LawnBoy wheels have grooves that you fill with felt washers that keep dirt, etc. from getting to the...

Rivets: Thank you for the complete reply. I'm sure it will help others to understand how a carburetor works. I was actually wondering how such a small change in water column (gas column here) could make a detectable change in fuel/air ratio. It just doesn't seem like it would make enough...

As long as the float is keeping the jet in fuel, how does changing float level change fuel:air ratio?

Yes indeed. And I haven't forgotten where ithis great tube tester came from! : )

I looked at his posts and don't see this as a duplicate. His previous post was about carb leaks, this one is about float part numbers, Did I miss something?

Well, I went there, Rivets. Heh heh...and you're right, as usual. The colors are shown. And don't you find it interesting that because of how generic these parts are, none of the color/length combinations are available? Just make your own and ignore the colors! : )

One goes to CDI and the other to ground, right?

ON-OFF switches don't have polarity. With only two leads it doesn't matter electrically if you swap them. The correct wiring is therefore going to be the easiest way to hook them up, Also, Lawn-Boy sometimes uses different size terminals on leads to enforce which way you hook them up (even...

Ah! You were referring to post #7 (also mine): This is a larger issue for me to understand than just this engine. My 'daily-driver' crankshaft has been migrating up slightly so the flywheel is starting to "ting" against the pull-starter assembly on top. Not continuously, but when I hit a bump...

There are so many posts in this thread that I don't know for sure which you are replying to, but it sounds very interesting. Could you give some more info?
