    Can't Find Tire Leak

    Good lord...this is getting nuts. Simply put a tube in the tire, and problem solved. Most small engine shops will install a tube for 15 dollars, not including the cost of the tube itself. Problem solved.

    Can't Find Tire Leak

    PLEASE do not put slime in the tire...it won't last for any length of time and is a royal mess to clean the inside of the tire and rim when you decide to fix it correctly by putting a tube in it.

    Knock-off oil filters

    I apologize; you are correct. However, Mann+Hummel are excellent filters. When I owned two Class 8 tractor trailers, hauling produce coast to coast and everywhere in-between, with Cat 3406C "four-and-a-quarter" mechanical injection engines in Peterbilt 379s, I mainly used Donaldson or Mann...

    How to drain oil on B&S 725EX engine?

    Hi, Simply place a proper container on the floor and remove the dipstick. Tip the mower on its side, ensuring the container is in the right place to catch the oil. Let the oil fully drain, simply set it back on its four wheels, and refill with roughly 18 ounces of 10W30 synthetic oil. Let it sit...

    Briggs Intek, replaced everything, still surging.. Ideas?

    As I said, when I have seen one run correctly with my own eyes, I'll believe it. Until then, I'll stick with OEM. I have replaced countless Chinese carbs that customers purchase and can't figure out why they don't run right (stating, "but it's a brand-new carb"). The OEM parts are reasonably...

    Briggs Intek, replaced everything, still surging.. Ideas?

    Until I personally see one small engine with a Chinese carb run correctly with my own eyes, and I have been doing this for 40 years and haven't seen one yet, I say it is a complete waste of money. An OEM carburetor works perfectly every time.

    Click on the link in my post. However, Star Tech is correct: 150 for shipping. I believe you can purchase the rebuild kits from Hydro-Gear's website. You can do a Google search for ZC-DPBB-3DKC-1MPX to shop prices...
