    Choke lever removal

    I just received a new carburetor for my Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder generator. It came with several attachments for carburetor control. The one that's currently on the carburetor is not the correct control for my application. How do I remove that control and put the new one on? I...

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    Can I just pull the black choke controller lever off and replace it with the appropriate whatever? If yes what would be the appropriate way to remove the lever? I was thinking a screwdriver nudge on either side to free the lever from the carburetor. Let me know what you think. I am in the rust...

    And I have just been corrected! Lung replacement surgery would be analogous to what I am attempting.

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    I just received my new carburetor for my Briggs & Stratton Storm responder. I'm attaching a couple of photos. The lever that is on it to control the choke is not going to fit the application. The other lever that's included will. What's the safe way of removing the lever handle that's installed...

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    I picked one up from harbor freight and it was a little bit of Overkill but, like many of my other tools, I probably won't need it again 🤔 but if I ever do, I won't be able to find it 😳

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/324264091762 is a link to a carburetor for my engine. The engines is 0304-30 b - 01. Not to sound completely ignorant, will I need to adjust any settings on the carburetor or is it plug and Play? I assume that the section off the carburetor that is in between the...

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    Thanks for the info. I will try to get a diagram of the carburetor float mechanism for this engine and see what I may have inadvertently dropped. This will also give me the necessary information to purchase a carburetor for this model. For what it's worth, taking it back apart the second time...

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    I spotted that o-ring when I took the carburetor back apart and made sure that it was seated properly around the plastic piece that goes in to the metal assembly. I think I'm going to try to find a diagram of the float mechanism in the carburetor that I have and see if I inadvertently dropped a...

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    I took the carburetor off. I was able to remove the two screws and took the carburetor bowl off.There was a little bit of gunked up gas and I cleaned it. I cleaned out the entire fuel tank. I put the float mechanism back in and seated it just as I found it. The problem that I have created is...

    Westinghouse and Duramax generators

    This would be to run the whole house for whatever length of time was necessary. Dual fuel is a good option and the electric start is a plus. The price point is a plus right now. Looking at my Briggs & Stratton 8250 generator isn't really enough to power what we had but it's been good in a pinch...
