Update; should have said that I checked the crankcase seals when I checked the flywheel key, both are good. Muffler is fully open. This morning I tried starting the unit with choke but no priming. Started on first pull. Repeated starting the unit this way over the next two hours, both hot...

Toro 15 year old PowerClear snowblower. Model 38581 Serial 29004003. Briggs engine 084232-0121-E2. Problem; will not start reliably, hot or cold. Seems to flood easily. When I get it started runs fine. No electric start so I need it to be reliable for an elderly couple. They can’t pull 20...

I’m think that your starter is Tecumseh part number 37105 which superseded to 33329E. Because I no longer have access to the old parts diagrams, I’m just guessing. Doing some digging parts are still available. Big thing my experience has taught me about these starters, is that the must be...

Maybe this manual will help you out. http://www.tuks.nl/WFCProject/img/Engine_Carburator/81644210-Briggs-Stratton-Service-Manual-L-Head.pdf

This manual should help you out. I always change both. https://mymowerparts.com/pdf/Kohler-Service-and-Repair-Manuals/Kohler-Service-Repair-Manual-Command-CV17-CV18-CV20-CV22-CV25-CV22-CV23-CV26.pdf

I really don’t know, probably best to contact HydroGear customer service.

Before replacing this old mule I would stick a little time and money into cleaning and rebuilding the carb. Replace the float needle and seat, Tecumseh part number 631021B. I’ve attached the procedure I’ve recommended many times on this forum. Needle and seat replacement. Remove the carb...

Apologies accepted, but for others who post please make sure you double check any numbers for accuracy. It took an hour of searching to figure out the Simplicity numbers with bad numbers on a 50 year old unit. I worked on Simplicity units back in the 80’s and luckily I found some old materials...

I don’t know where to start, as the model numbers you posted don’t make a lot of sense. 1. The 990670 number comes back to a mower deck. 2. For anyone else looking at this thread the tractor model number Is 990653. 3. I’ve come up with a snowblower number of 990663. 4. It uses a belt...

That’s a new one on me, it’s just a pdf file. Everything I have is in that format. Try searching for “Briggs pulsa jet tank mounted carbs” or “Briggs L-head repair manual” and you should find material to help you out.

Have you taken any time to read the section on carbs in the manual I posted??? I’ll bet not. If you find a picture of the mounting gasket, it should answer your question. To help you out it is in section 3, starting around page 29.

Another thing, when I get a 30 year old with this style carb/tank setup, I many times find the tank warpped. Tank most times is NLA so I seal around the carb base with a good auto body sealer.

I’m guessing it is time to replace the pump diaphragm. Also, I would replace the gasket between the carb and tank, making sure it is making a good seal. This manual should help you out. http://www.tuks.nl/WFCProject/img/Engine_Carburator/81644210-Briggs-Stratton-Service-Manual-L-Head.pdf

Please provide us with the model and serial numbers from both the tractor and blower so we have a better idea of what you are dealing with. You should find an ID tag on both units.
