Just little bit of info and you may already know this: You say your replaced the carb and still seeing the same thing. If the engine oil is really clean and even hot and thin you can sometimes get fooled by the oil level by eyeballing. Sounds strange but true. Try this method for getting a...

Your compression is ok. Since that is the old opposed twin it very rare for fuel to get into the oil with the pump on the front of the carb type and you say you replaced the carb. You say it APPEARS that fuel is getting in the oil. Describe APPEARS?

You say the carb is new Walbro LMT. The Walbro LMT are NLA. (No Longer Available) If you ordered a Walbro LMT replacement you probably received a Nikki and if the price is in the $20 range it's a China clone carb. They lead you to believe you are getting a true Walbro but that is not so. (and...

You asked: Does anyone on here work on Honda generators? What is the model and the issue??

You need to try the prime thing at first so as to see if getting gas is the issue and make sure your choke butterfly on the carb is actually operating. The low pressure pump can be installed by itself or can be installed before the pulse pump. The electric pump does not run all time and is low...

When a lawn tractor sets for 2 weeks without being started i kinda expect what you are describing. (especially if it has a pulse type fuel pump) requires the engine to be cranking to send gas to the carb) What I do to reduce the crank time so as to help save the starter and battery. The starter...

??????????? Might look at a exploded view of the pump. Appears it can be kitted. Looking at a IPL might show a diaphragm next to that vent hole between the pulse line and the air hole. The pulse hose will have some oil inside but it's suppose to drain back and not collect in the hose between the...

as above, If you are asking about oil drip or mist coming out the impulse breather hose at the air filter. but if crankcase has too high a level of oil and or oil contaminated with gas and the crankcase oil level is too high. On some small engines you will see little bit of oil at the air...

.05 on the DCA 20m scale is full scale is 20 milliamps or .020 amps full scale. (what is strange is the meter should have said OL because 50 milliamps is more than the full scale of 20m) But mute because you do not have a static drain issue. That reading of .05 is 50 milliamps and is not your...

Post up the model number, type, code on the twin. The reason for the engine info is we are talking about the engine instead of the tractor model number and with correct engine info we can then determine which of the Briggs twins you are referencing.

Right them old Briggs twins with pump are getting rare but I just happen to see that China is cloning the 4 screw for around $30 as posted above. I do not remember just why but I tried the pulse pump on a three screw by just connecting to the existing pump and I did not get any gas to the carb...

You have to keep a heads up when going to a electric pump due to pressure. Needs to be low pressure, in vicinity of not over 2 psi and a reliable pump is usually $50 or more. The low pressure pumps are not constantly run so a 3 amp DC charge system would run them ok and still charge the bat. A...

You can also find some good info about checking/repairing Kohlers starters on-line. The brush end has a kit and it user friendly to replace the brush assembly kit.

You say: I need to mow so I'm in a hurry. Maybe I'll order the dB one and keep the China one for a backup. Thank you. China as a back-up. Now that is funny. A knee slapper. Good luck on that one.

You can find lots of info on-line about how to test the AC output volts of the stator. You will need a electrical tester. As startech says usually it's the regulator that fails UNLESS someone has been hacking the wiring and sent DC voltage to the stator winding and let the smoke out. (the smoke...

bertsmobil is correct about them cheap starter, most are weak and wimpy. I've had good luck with dbelectric starters but have to pay little more than the China clones but less price than OEM over the counter name brand starters. If you contact dbelectric give them all your engine info and let...

You asked: When you put the 10/32 bolt in the old pump outlet, did you use sealant on the threads? Did the npt seal fine by itself on the 5/16” barb fitting? The 10/32 screw blocks the fuel from going back into the front pump section. I think I used a homemade little copper washer. It won't...

I think maybe I briefly seen a Briggs twin with a Nikki dual throat carb in the video???????????????. You need to post the engine model, type and code when asking engine questions. Just saying husky mower does not get it done. Now to give you a general idea of what to check. If that is a twin...

I've seen issues such as yours where a replacement gas tank grommet would leak usually because the OEM nipple or adapter going through the new replacement grommet on some lawn tractor tanks was not quite large enough for the new grommet so as to get a good snug friction fit. I can usually find a...

I've done a mod to those carbs and instead of using a electric pump I used the cheaper Briggs type pulse pump. I also got tired of replacing the pump kits and I also had a good carb with one of the pump mounting screw bosses broke off the carb. Here is a link to the general procedure I used...

Why do you want to test your stator? Lots of info on-line about how to test. When asking questions about such you should list the type of engine and it ID info. You might check with dbelectric for a replacement starter. You need to make a close inspection of all the flywheel teeth on your...

Not likely, if it was ok before you fooled with just the carb. Can you see the throttle lever or the governor arm? If so CAREFULLY WITHOUT FORCE manually operate either and see if the throttle will go to idle. If stuck in wide open and not moving easily remove the carb and check the carb...

Good to hear you got it going. Read post #6 and get familiar with that procedure so as the next time you have to adjust the lash, just rotate the engine so as a valve's rocker arm is fully DOWN and then adjust the opposite rocker. It's a no brainer and but we usually do not mention this...

Like bert says: We do not know your mechanical limitations but; First you need to inspect the head as described or if not a mechanical tinker/piddler and repair stuff yourself it's a trip to the repair shop with the engine still on the machine so a good small engine mechanic can test. (lots of...

Would die if you pulled the parking break, you say. Would it re-start ok? I've seen corroded fuse holders or the tabs on push in fuses cause such. Sometimes the fuse holder would have to be replaced because the terminals inside the fuse holder (especially on lawn tractors) have corroded or got...

Is the push rod bent? I would suspect the valve is sticking in the guide and or the valve guide has moved or is moving in the head due to valve guide seizing on the valve stem. Sometimes the stud that is holding the rocker arm will start coming out of the head. You can compare the top of the...

Have you thought about replacing the carb. In your previous replies it seemed that you indicated that the engine was stuck/hung at wide open throttle due to no governor control. Some of the Honda powered push lawn mowers do not have a throttle control cable for the operator the engine just runs...

I don't see any ID numbers posted for the engine. If it's a single cylinder Briggs Intek the valves are not adjusted at TDC per the manual specifications, go 1/4 inch down ATDC and set the intake valve at a snug .002 or even .0015 (as slomo says) and turn the engine over by hand few times CW...

Welds look like bird poop. Now with that being said, with old rusty decks that are worn too thin and the rest is rust holding rust together, Bird poop is a compliment. As long as it works and holds together your weld repair is fine. Yep, Ronnie Milsap would blink twice if he looked at that...

You asked:.When the engine is at rest and stop, does the throttle go to wide open? Yes. and with the engine not running: feel of the governor arm or throttle and You normally can move it towards idle but it will be spring loaded and move back to open throttle when you turn it loose. Also...

Bertsmobile1 says: The head gaskets are deliberately weak AMEN

He also asked: Are these engines junk? Post up the engine ID info for a more precise Yes or No.

Heck, Ronnie Milsap can see that idler pulley has problems

How long does a head gasket usually last on your engine? (average time, like one hour, one day, or a year???) The head and or block is either warped or as startech indicates you are not torqueing the head bolts PROPERLY. With patience you should be able to check the head and block for warpage...

So it was doing the exact same thing before you started replacing things??????

You might even try looking at a engine IPL of the carb type. If the choke is not a separate cable the throttle cable is adjusted wrong. Post up some engine ID info and maybe we might see something on a IPL?

What is the model, code, type of the engine?

I suspect that long plastic piece is a choke lever if the carb was to be used on a Emergency gen engine. (their carb chole levers looks like that because the air filter breather is bolted to the front of the carb and the lever sticks up from behind the breather. You got lucky that the plastic...

??????????? Are you referencing having a prayer meeting before installing the new carb????? If so, that would be a good idea.

You need to flog the carb again, most likely. Sometimes about the only thing that is reasonable priced about a Honda engine is a replacement carb. (at less than $20 with free shipping.

When all else fails read the owners manual.

You asked: Was he correct in saying he can tell its blown up just by lightly pulling the cord twice? Most likely NO. You say it was working Ok immediately BEFORE you killed the engine and then no go next few moments. This is not a sign of losing compression or a rod while at rest. I've seen...

Briggs has a red colored fuel filter for engine that are for gravity feed and white fuel filters for pump feed. The white is a finer micron filter and will sometimes not let enough gas flow when installed on gravity fed. Also the Briggs white will get restricted faster if the fuel/tank is dirty...

verb 1.obtain a great deal of money from (someone), typically by overcharging or swindling them:

You say: Not familiar with fleece bay You are a rare breed if you have not experienced fleece bay. Just type into the search bar what you are looking for and you can do a SAVED search so as to get a email notice if whatever you are seeking appears later. try this link. (and keeps a heads up...

You usually only get one shot with a screwdriver when trying to remove the emulsion tube from a Walbro LMT. AND the majority of them so called replacement LMT carb's are not really Walbro LMT, they are a Nikki LMT clone and do be SURPRISED if you get a good running smooth one. If buying from...

Here is a link to tips about LMT carbs. https://outdoorpowerinfo.com/repairs/ Them old LMT carbs usually re-build and clean up Ok. Try cleaning at first without removing the emulsion tube. A proper fitting hollow ground screwdriver is required to fit the emulsion tube or it can be damaged...

You asked: Wouldn't the other tire turn though? NO Just pull the wheel back off and install the square key. It's probably laying on the floor or stuck to the bottom of your foot. Also while you are doing things, remove the rims and clean and grease the axles stubs so as they won't rust into...

As bertsmobil 1 says, that is what happens when neglected. Some owners manuals finally started suggesting removing the rear rims about every 2 years and cleaning and applying grease to the axle. Do not hammer on the back side of the rim or you can ruin the tranxaxle. Not a fun job and...

I'm wondering what you did to start this engine having issues in the first place? (or had someone else been monkeying around with the engine) Have you ever seen it operate correctly? (or is it a new to you engine and you are trying to repair it for someone else) Make sure the govenor spring is...
