They must have wiring diagrams. They just do not want to share them. I did find some on the internet for older machines like the Craftsman LT1000 and LT2000. No luck so far. It is very confusing with out one. I have tested every switch and they all work. The starter works. Charged battery...

Thanks Star Tech. I got to keep trying. On the hood it says 1900. If that Helps anyone.

I am looking for a wiring diagram for a Craftman 247.203791 riding lawn tractor. It has a 22hp Kohler with a 46" deck. I went on the sears website and nothing. I can get parts diagrams but not wiring diagrams. I tried googling for a shop manual but nothing helpful came up, If i knew the MTD...

Yes! I put my finger over that bolt hole and the primer pushed gas through the main jet into the throat. YES. thank you so much!!!!! I was pulling my hair out on this. This is my first time working on this style of engine and I will never forget this!!!! The owner said this has been hard...

The carb is 640025. It is a fixed jet carb with the plastic emulsion tube. I am usually good with cleaning carbs with wires and compressed air and a can of carb cleaner. I am going to break it down and put it in my ultrasonic cleaner. I usually only use it for very dirty carbs........This...

I forgot to say I did change the seat. I also adjusted the float height to 11/64th as they explain in the shop manual. The fuel should be good. But who knows.???

I have a 6hp OHV Tecumseh that is hard starting. I adjusted the valves to .004 each. New spark plug, cleaned the carb and changed the primer bulb. Replaced the gas with fresh gas. I checked the flywheel key and it is in place, not sheared. It starts fine with starter fluid. It seems...

This engine is on a Craftsman Roto tiller. I hope this is ok not being a Lawn mower???? It was given to me in a few pieces. Specifically the carburator spring and governor link were detatched and I am having touble figuring out exactly what holes they go into. This is not the type of engine...

They make nice stuff. The problem is that there is too much nice stuff out there. Lots of options for very nice tools. They are just all very expensive. To me I am happy with what I call mid grade stuff. I look at the price, easy of warranty and quality factor. Which can be subjective. I...

It may be as strong or stronger than the the thinner tool truck brands. We dont know. But it is not optimized for getting in to tight spaces and still being strong enough to take typical abuse.

I never had a JC Penny close by to me so I have never stepped foot in one. What Brand name did JC Penny put on their tools? I may have come across some and did not even know it.

The Craftsman warranty at Lowes and Ace all depends on who is working and also by location. Sometimes they will tell you to call the C'man 800 number and they do not want to be involved. Other times they swap it out with something similar on the shelf. It is not always consistent. One of my...

That is a good point. How do they justify it right from the start? Could one assume they both work to break in the engine, just one is a bit quicker. They figure many will not even bother to do a break in oil change so they just go with the syn right from the factory and keep everything a bit...

Are people confusing the rear being higher for lower? I am just trying to follow this conversation. I recall reading somewhere the rear should be a tad lower. Several folks above are saying higher???? I am not questioning your experiences. I Just want to make sure there is no confusion.

To give this some context. The best mulching walk behind mowers, in my humble opinion, use a double blade. Honda and Toro in particular. But they were designed that way from the factory. I do not know of a brand new riding mower deck that has double blades from the factory. If I am wrong I...
