Maybe for the newer models Scrub. On my 12I/C which is likely from the ballpart as posted, the info is stamped into the cover just above the spark plug.

Yes, Keep mowing my friend...

I just remembered - the choke being the brass piece is in a slot in the plastic shaft. with the choke open, wiggle the choke plate a little and try choking again to see if it seats better or with the choke closed use a pick or small screwdriver and wiggle the plate to see if u can get it to...

You can get them at HarborFreight or else look up Oxygen-Acetylene Torch Tip Cleaner Kit with 12 Stainless Steel Reamers at Home Depot.

Sorry but for a second i pictured you in my head looking like the Dos Equis Guy.

It was cold when i picked it up and it was left out next to the full trash cans Fri. From personal experience maybe the owner just had a bad day when it wouldn't start and he gave up or maybe the person never turned the gas on and "told dad"(the valve was shut off). For myself almost all the...

Can you post a pic? Sounds like a pulley moved from your description. If the pulleys don't line up, then yeah, you get this. If so, just pull out the allen wrench and loosen 1 pulley and move it back.

Really? for me it is more like Whack-a-mole. HA!!

Not sure why it was at the curb being i just opened the gas valve, choked it, and it started. Not a spec of rust on the chrome. Obviously very well kept. Honda mower

I have a engine pulley off my Case Skidsteer that cracked like yours. I just had the crack welded. If the flywheel is aluminum, that's nothing. If it is the magnesium then it might be difficult to find a welding shop - it was for me and my BG75 mount breaking off.

Finally!!!! Just what i need to tighten my drain bolt to 2,000 ft-lbs torque!

If when running, there is no pressure from the governer to close the throttle, then yes, the issue is internal.

I don't think it is a total loss. Given i have a Stihl hedge trimmer but i don't take it apart to sharpen the cutting edge. If u don't already have a dremel tool, u can get a el cheapo - 2 use similar one at harbor freight for $10. Sharpen the edges you can get to now, then run it until the...

Looking it up, it was made by Poulan. There is a pic of what looks like yours (but with the Poulan colors) on a 91 sales brochure. Poulan brochure

I didn't pay attention when i saw them but looking at the backpack trimmer pic, it looks like it does have an adjustment screw.

Here are some pics of machines in Japan\Taiwan in addition to the "Battlestar Galactica" blower i posted before. A "see how the other side lives" if u will. Asia equipment

Cool!! I've done that on a few items such as (original) fs80, bg75, McCullough chain saw, and echo backpack. So long as it gets the right air fuel mix, it will run. Thank goodness the carb main body hasn't really changed so you can do this.

I have never cleaned those but yeah, i recall those are plastic fibers so washing them is no problem.

As old as it appears, I would bet it is no longer available. What *I* did when I couldn't find my 70's trimmer carb, is buy one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Carburetor-Carb-For-Walbro-WT-194-Stihl-024-026-MS240-MS260-240/284107849233?hash=item422625be11:g:eek:gsAAOSwhtpfzvHS And remove...

Thanks Timbo. The key on my blade adapter was wider than the slot on the engine so i had to widen that. I'll buy the deflector JIC.

I'm with Deminin - I use everything in the pics. Pics, punch, nut splitter, etc, nothing new. If anything, i own a manual drill- crank and all along with a "pedal" powered sewing machine. Except for the golf tees - i use longer tees now adays. The clubs i use might belong in the pic - 70's...

Actually, Kawasaki still does.

Timbo, JC did u have to modify the blade adapter on yours? I got the old FJ180 recently and i had to modify the key to fit. Also, being the exhaust is awfully close to the chute, yours did not melt the chute? I'm afraid to bag mine and melt the chute.

"best I could get out of it was a backfire" That may be your problem. Take off the cylinder head and see if the valve(s) are closing. At Top dead center with both valves closed, try to turn the valve. if it easily turns, the valve is stuck open. If so, remove the valve, check the gap,grind down...

I got around to take it apart. The rings are stuck big time. I tried chiseling the rings out with no luck. There is no play in the connecting rod bearings. I guess the owner used plain gas and not a dust problem. Amazingly, the cylinder actually looks perfectly fine. The piston had much better...

Worn from dust - yeah i can see that happening. When i first started looking at it, i noticed the screws holding the air filter housing to the carb was loose and thus a little gap so makes sense it sucked in the dust. After all, there are dust deposits everywhere around the carb. It feels like...

I have a "chopsaw" "cut-off saw" K770 where the compression is too low - 60psi. Spark OK, spray starter straight into dry cyl no go. Looking from carb side, the piston looks perfectly fine if not better than some pistons that work. My first assumption is it needs a new cylinder\piston but as...

see email.

I think what you are seeing is the flywheel screen is off center.look at :19. I looked at the block while it was running and don't really see the block shaking. My $.02.

As well as other plastic drink cups like the type McDonalds uses. Don't ask me how i know...?

Try actually firing it up after pouring some gas into the cylinder. I say this because with my BR600 I don't see any spark, tester or not yet it ran(i was testing hard to start which was from a bad plug).

Wow!! Here in the city we get it the old fashioned way - by wire...

Well, good that someone got it that is not going to get $.89 to have it crushed for metal.

Scrubcadet is right. Have someone engage\disengage the bar and you watch what happens on the other end. the brake\kill wire are not engaging. It might just need a little oil or something. When u push the brake and it stops, do u feel like you are pulling the cable?? Maybe the cable is snagging...

That's why i am afraid if\when sears goes bye bye. Lowes won't do a swap so you would have to mail the tool to Stanley for replacement. I know because i had a broken Stanley tool and that is the lifetime warranty they offer.

I just got a few blowers (for $10 each :LOL:). Just changing the primers did the trick and they all run. Looking around, I see all stickers that would tell me what model i got are gone. I think it looks like models BR500 to 700. Can anyone tell me what else would tell me what i got?? Thx.

If you look at the seal, somewhere you will find info on what type of seal you have. If no luck, do a google maps search for "bearing" and those shops can either find the part # or else find a seal that fits your tiller. They can find one that fits with just the shaft size and the outer diameter.

It is a shame that with all markets when new, you have many brands with products that had their own way to get the job done - heck there were over 100 companies making cars in the US alone at one time! Over time many are either out of business or bought out and in the end you have only a hand...

Which is now a Shell product. Call it anecdotal but one time i bought a trans just for some electronic parts and springs and the seller would only sell the whole trans. Opening it, I found that the plates are all worn out and the previous owner used a purple trans fluid - the purple "super...

Thing is, that wouldn't tell u if the cylinder is oblong would it?? Last time i did this, I measured from 12 to 6o'clock and from 3 to 9 o'clock at top middle and bottom of cylinder.

Back in the "good 'ol days"(up to 2000ish), HP(like Dell and Gateway) sold PCs with parts off the shelf. That meant that your PC NIC, video card, modem, etc would work in 3 different OS versions. Then they started engineering the hardware so that if you upgrade OS, the modem and NIC didn't work...

Well, build a little trailer for the bag to sit on then.

Good idea! I have a box of the velcro which has a loop on one end(so i can't drop it) in the server room. I'l grab one of those... MarcC: From what you say your problem is, one likely cause is that the bolt holding the carb float bowl has small passages. Dirt\deposits are restricting the flow...

I have one of these(just a few years newer). If you have too much trouble getting the original diaphragm carb to work you could replace the whole carb- carb or else(which i did) the tecumseh bowl carb fits so u could replace it with that - bowl carb

I know. I'm just skeptical that if the noise is a sharp loud squeal (which is common when this trans is low\out of fluid) I would suspect low on fluid. You don't don't get a sharp squeal noise from parts submerged in oil(very muffled if any). My Deere has the exact same trans. I found out on...

The trans squealing can be caused by low oil. With low oil maybe it is foaming(thus stop working) after using it for a few minutes... Look around the transmission. Do you see alot of oily dirt sticking the trans? That could point to leaking fluid thus being low and could explain your problem. Do...
