ok thanks for the info, i can manually pull it down to idle, or , use a spring to pull it back...ill check that and let you know!!

thanks for the info, i did not realize there was a bushing to be replaced! i will look into that as soon as time allows me to.

I actually DID do just that, with no change... when it fires, it revs out of control. i have a parts engine,i am pretty sure the gov gear is toast... i just need time to tear the 2 down. but ty for the info!!

i just want to mention, i am not one to believe a "small leak" is an acceptable one, i have plenty of 8-10 hp engines that leak Zero oil...i need to address this before i use it, or sell it.

that IS funny, small world it seems..

i will take a video and see if i can attach it here

i had an idea how to add an o ring by drilling a recess in crankcase.., but it would require disassembly anyway, so, if im gonna do that... may as well replace worn parts...

yes its quite loose... ive never seen one this loose. maybe it was a poor casting?

yes, i have in fact checked the breather for clogs, and drained and refilled crankcase right to top of threads... its a mystery how the oil can be "climbing" that high and running out...im going to do a leak down test on it, to make sure blowby isnt over pressurizing crankcase..ill post results

much appreciated, but im 4 1/2 hrs away from you...

at this point , i am thinking i need to split engine / generator and replace worn gov shaft and crankcase. the engine runs great, gen makes power. i realize there is no seal, or o-ring... and the shaft needs to swing freely. any ideas? am i on the right track replacing worn out crank case half...

i could sure use that engine on another tractor i have here... i have already replaced the engine on the Sabre... how much for the engine itself?

northeast pa. susquehanna county...... ??

Update on the broken ex valve. when i finally went to put this head together, THIS popped into view. should have done a closer inspection BEFORE ordering parts. that cost could have went toward a good used head. oh well, never too old to learn! not sure if this happened when valve dropped, or if...

yep, it straightened my 'bent; mind out...tks again

thank you, much appreciated

i have accumulated a certain amount of wiring knowhow over the years on tractors and lawnmowers... one question, my 15.5hp Briggs has TWO harnesses coming out by starter. one w/red/blk ... the other (not sure of wire color) i get that one black wire is more than likely the kill wire, and the...

thank you, thats my next step. on back burner for now..will re post after i tear it down

thanks for pointing me in right direction, i dont get lost often, but when i do, i do it right!

i just added them to my post, thanks

I cannot believe i messed this up. i recently acquired a DLT craftsman with 25 hp v twin. it had been sitting idle with no exhaust pushrods ( someone borrowed them) for about 3 yrs. i removed and carefully cleaned the carb just to be safe... set valve clearances and fired it up... it sounded...

i recently acquired a sabre 14/38 . nice little machine.. the previous owner told me the valve dropped while he was trying to start it , i have to agree, no damage to piston, cylinder or head... the broken stem was jammed right into center of spark plug, how lucky was that? my question is, there...

wow, thats awesome!!! thank you so much for that. i will save this to my docs folder. i just purchased one in nice shape.

i believe you are right sir

it was prolly assembled by a 13 yr old Chinese kid on an assembly line...

i recently bought a carb from Amazon, as soon as i turned the fuel valve on...gas was flooding everywhere. i pulled the bowl off to check float... float laid in bottom of bowl, no hinge pin was there... great

why is it so difficult to find a wiring diagram for a Sabre??? GX1642B011800 any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated... thanks

i disassemble the mandrels, wash out any dirt grease etc, then i drill and tap for 1/4 x 28 grease fitting. clean the chips out... THEN, remove the seals from bearings that face toward inside of mandrel. rinse the bearings out, then re-assemble. i also drill a 1/16 weep hole at the top of...

the model number on the frame says 1693840... i also have an update. i replaced the drive belt, it was really worn, and had oil on it. (need to find and fix the leak). i tried it out on that same 45 degree incline... went about halfway up that time...improvement, but not finished. i dumped...

hello again, i never got a response on a previous post, i have an older simplicity broadmoor, when i get to an inline, it slows down and groans, regardless of engine speed or drive speed lever position. i drained and refilled hydro with my ford tractor hyd fluid...could it be too thin? how...

one note, this transaxle is the bolt together upper and lower cases. not sure if its hydrogear, or hydrostat

hello all, i have an older simplicity broadmoor with 16hp kohler, and 44 inch deck. i have a "test hill" on my property that i use to test riders. its almost a 45 degree incline. everyone of my riders i buy or sell, gets on this hill... most climb right up, some spin the wheels... THIS...

i have a Craftsman LT1000 i bought off a friend 16 yrs ago for 60 bucks. i replaced the spindles once, after 2 yrs... the next time, i went to NAPA auot parts...bought 4 sealed bearings... i removed the inside seals from each set of bearings, added a grease fitting to housing...now i can grease...
