I would absolutely listen to Star tech the only thing I could add to this is 15 years ago I got a free lt2000 from someone who went by some specification and from his perspective he destroyed the engine but I was able to revive it and it still runs today.

You know the other thing is you can't really weld that piece because then you have to I tap the threads are right there it broke right where two bolts go but in the case of the Husqvarna muffler is there at least 40 bucks I am expecting to get more than 3 years out of the part but I didn't so...

Excellent idea thank you I was not even thinking about that but that's something someone could do and you know it would be pretty simple for them but not for me thanks again. Jim

Since I only have one of these machines and I found one is sufficient I just wonder how many folks that actually have businesses that repair parts like this and how common is it to split this I don't know what it's called maybe an idler pulley plate so how common is it to do just snap luckily I...

So I wasn't intending to put it in the middle of the text but that is a very cool feature so I'll keep that in mind in the future how this interface works for especially a smartphone.

So I just wanted to give an update and this would mostly be for someone that wants to repair a Husqvarna muffler that is installed I guess from the factory for a Craftsman lt2000 so this machine is maybe from 2008 I don't know exactly but the history of this muffler exhaust system rather is I...

Startech , I mean thanks for that conversion chart I think I got the 3/8 in for that rocker stud from a YouTube video so then I go over to the machine is 10 mm so you know at this point everything's back together and I didn't even need to know that because I bought a brand new cylinder head +...

Okay the valve guide is the cylinder I'm trying to figure out something else it has to do with the hex nut it's either 10 mm or 3/8

Okay thanks for your answer everything is actually put back together and the engine's running fine but I was trying to account for what was going on inside the engine well according to a few other folks they were telling me to look at the valve guide and then the valve guide actually just fell...

Okay this is actually the question does Briggs& Stratton mix and match SAE and Metric when designing an engine for lawn equipment or anything really? I was under the impression they use SAE throughout everything but that's just a guess and I was hoping someone knew the answer maybe even an...

Thanks so much for the answer if it wasn't indicated here maybe in the previous post would that be the specification directly from Briggs& Stratton. As opposed to 3/8 in which does not work. And thanks in advance for your answer. Jim

One week old valve cap has a dent in it + brand new push rods one of them weighs 20 g that's the intake push rod and then the other one weighs 40 g that would be the exhaust push rod however I have what's called the original exhaust push rod and is 50 g the interesting thing with the package of...

Auto Doc I had to go back and take a look at what you wrote right here but I knew you wrote it this is excellent I'm at that stage right now where I'm putting the cylinder head back on the machine and I'm going very slowly especially with the numbers you have mentioned thanks again this is very...

Okay so I've only seen three-cylinder heads in the last 20 years and I never saw one up close like that so when that piece fell out I wasn't sure if it was even a valve guide that's what happened I thought they could only somehow get raised that's why I sent the message in the first place I had...

Thank you, I was not aware that they could just fall right out.
