    Mower model 13AL79XT093 or CMXGRAM1130041 Engine 33R877 0033 G1 - single cylinder, 19 HP, 540 CC Carb (# on carb - 592953, beneath that 23082319) Replacement # 594601 Now, if this has a fuel pump I do NOT find it! I thought this fuel supply system used vacuum method. Remember, this mower will...

    But the mower would crank! If it sat for a long period then it would crank and run for hours. It just would not crank when turned off - unless left sitting for many hours or overnight. Right now I'm thinking it the fuel shut off solenoid at bottom of carb.

    I received a new fuel stop solenoid. With 9 volt battery and a couple of short wires I verified the new solenoid works and the old one does NOT! Replaced it on carb. Now I'm waiting on replacement screw that broke trying to put in replacement carb! It's still a journey!

    I appreciate your time and thoughts. Hmmmm - that hose running to/from carb to mower - pressure from crankcase - I might just order a new hose in case that's a problem! Wait - if the problem was that hose, would the mower crank first time carb is put back on and run smoothly for up to almost 2...

    Thanks. Earlier I flushed fuel lines, removed filter and flushed it, released fuel line from carb and drained fuel through line and filter. Never saw any debris in line, filter or fuel. Mower 4 years old.

    Man did I spend a ridiculous amount of time researching for a carburetor for Home Depot Craftsman T150 mower with B&S engine!!! It was a learning lesson! This is my first exposure to riding mower repairs! Why the carb? Would not start. Well, would start then immediately shut down. I took carb...

    Thank you for responding! I've used electric and battery powered weed eaters and I've treated them like I heard you should use a circular saw - don't force it, go with what the blade allows to be cut. Something like that. Anyway, with those metal blades I sure won't be using them like an old...

    FS 70 R add ons

    Hello, We just got started clearing off 1 1/2 acres. The hired mulchers have done their machine work. Now it’s my time to go trim the nubs they left of all the wild privet shrub, then clean up growth and VINES around all the remaining tree trunks! It’s going to be a long summer! I need to get...

    Turn arm switch

    I am helping my 89-year-old father-in-law with his Husqvarna Z25 for Moore. It appears one of the safety switches on the arms is loose. How do I remove, tighten and replace? Any advice would be appreciated! This is my first time to have anything to do with a zero turn! Lloyd
