No, fuel line with filter (pickup) is port A. Do as Bert says - push the purge bulb and feel air - A will suck in, B will blow out. Although, that purge bulb looks rough - it may crack if it hasn't already. Will need a new one. And when the fuel lines disintegrate...the diaphragms in the carb do...

You did fine. New carb and bet it runs well.

Yours is 2004. Looks like they only made pull starters for 2012 and newer. Maybe another recoil can be adapted. Heck, for $70 price...I'd figure a way to wrap a rope with pull handle around the FW cup. Or I'd fix the electric start - 13hp 21ci engine is pretty hefty to be pulling on.

I see this # in multiple places. What is your date code? Starter-Rewind Part Number: 591606 Note: Used After Code Date 12082600 $68.72

change O to 0 and you can lookup. Deck housing is MTD 683-0265C. NLA. Find a used one? Probably tough but other MTD brand names used it - Troy Bilt, Huskee...

Post your engine model #. Eg: 28A707-1234-E1. On a shroud or valve cover.

Apply +12v to solenoid trigger wire terminal. Engine spins? Then, solenoid good. Then, look at your safety interlock switches. Most mowers have 3 - seat, clutch/brake, PTO. If one is bad, it won't complete starting circuit. Full mower model # and engine model # will yield better answers.

This looks at least similar. Find the part you lost. https://www.hondalawnparts.com/oemparts/a/hpe/505ce418f870022d24bdbddd/recoil-starter

I don't know that recoil. Looks like 1 comma shaped dog. Don't see a spring, either. Find your exact mower # and engine #, then post. Might find an IPL to show exactly how yours should look.

The term is recoil starter. Flywheel is the heavy disk underneath it. Is this yours? There is a center pin #4. https://www.hondapartsnation.com/oemparts/a/hpe/505ce437f870022d24bdbfed/recoil-starter

My neighbor gave me his non-starting TB PW 020381 with Briggs 12S912, same as above video. I found exactly the same thing as above. I needed camshaft, gov/oil slinger, timing gear, gaskets - it was over $100 in parts. I said screw it, parted engine out and found another for good pump PW. But if...

Well, I've had good luck with cheap AM carbs 9 out of 10 times. Get your carb # and search ebay, amazon, etc. Probably 498027 or 499158. Pay attn to gravity fed or fuel pump carb. Or pay $150 for an OEM carb.

Debris in tank slowing/blocking fuel flow? You need to demonstrate engine will run by spraying fuel in carb throat every 2 secs. If you can get a 20 sec run, you know it's fuel delivery. Then, just buy a $15 AM carb.

If you have only 3 terminals...is it Battery - Starter - Magneto? If so, the switch body must ground thru the metal dash mount. Try this - Get multimeter in ohm setting - one lead on M, other lead grounded, switch in OFF position. Should show resistance or just use continuity setting. Re-read...

Wiring diagram... https://www.partstree.com/models/301215be-80857-snapper-30-rear-engine-riding-mower-12hp/wiring-schematic-for-9-10-12-and-16hp-briggs-21/

Need the Snapper model #. And Briggs # would help - eg: 28A707-12344-E1

Need the model #. Eg: 28A707-1234-E1. Probably on a shroud. If not fuel starved, like ILENGINE said... Coil getting hot and failing? Run engine. When quits running - pull plug, ground plug, have buddy pull rope, look for spark.

Points and condenser haven't been in mowers for 30 - 40, maybe 50 years. It's all solid state electronic module now.

You can test 1* and 2* resistance with an ohmmeter but even if in specs, coil can still be bad. Check youtube for how-to. If I ground the plug, have a buddy pull rope and I don't get spark...I may test FW magnets (but never seen bad ones). Normally, just get another coil.

No, impulse is air/maybe a little fuel to make fuel pump diaphragm vibrate - that pulls fuel from tank thru the line with the fuel pickup. Impulse comes from piston going up & down. I've only had 1 of these tiny 4 strokes that I fixed (sheared FW key), so I'm no expert. But I was not impressed -...

They'll be a model # somewhere. May be on the block with dot stamping. Eg: 104M02-0021-F1

https://shop.okcpropower.com/black-max-black-max-lawn-mower-parts-for-model-96144000700-detail.htm?productid=-3895853 It's Husqvarna Outdoor Products - HOP. Above is one parts house with a diagram. Black Max Lawn Mower parts for Model 96144000700.

Just looked at that carb...make sure the impulse hole at 10 o'c is not blocked by the gasket. Gotta have push/pull on the fuel pump diaphragm.

Well, if it runs normally for a short while on a fuel charge...you have compression and proper spark timing. Fuel delivery problem seems most likely. Maybe bad new carb?

MTD tiny 4 cycle. Troy Bilt has them and they are known to have valve problems that you can't fix - I guess the reason for buying a short block. Try throttle up while the carb cleaner charge is burning. You do have good fuel lines? You do purge air and see fuel moving back to tank?

Need the model #...EG: 126M02-0125-F1 Code XXXXXXXX. Probably on a shroud near muffler.

What's the engine model #? On a shroud or valve cover.

That # comes up as a Mastercraft, made by MTD. Don't even see an IPL available. Would need to figure what Yard Machines model is the same. Still need the engine model #. If Briggs, something like 28A707-0122-02. Will be on a shroud covering cylinder fins.

Mower model # and Engine model # are needed. Kill wire to coil burned and grounding? Pull plug, re-insert in boot, ground metal on engine, turn key - spark?

If saw starts and idles normally.... Throttle rod from finger trigger binding. Throttle spring is weak or so gummed up - it doesn't snap the throttle plate back. Or finger trigger is so gunked up, it adds too much resistance to spring. Pull air filter cover and watch what is happening. Spray...

So, there are 2 kill wires coming off coil? Pull both off and try to start. You can pull air filter and put thumb over carb throat to kill it. Is this machine under warranty? It's the dealer problem then.

I'd definitely want a fiber/paper gasket between case halves.

Unless you stumble upon a NOS gasket, you'll need a gasket paper sheet and make one.

The pinion gear must move up the "barber pole" to turn the flywheel teeth. You need watch it as you turn key. May have to remove recoil / blower housing.

If they don't part that low....Is this just a solenoid hanging on the starter? If so, I'd think a generic $10 solenoid would send big amps to starter. Probably need longer 4 or 6 or 8 gauge cables and smaller activate wire.

that's it - 2014 Aug 1st

Thanks, Chris.

No, before cleaning. All I found on block. Must be pre-GCV times.

AfterMarket and UltraSonic Cleaned. I'll check the block. Thanks.

Thanks, Chris. I've already had the carb off and USC-ed. Tried unscrewing the jet and went all ham fisted. Buggered it up pretty good. I want to try a new AM carb. Where do I find GXV140 xxxx #? Here are removal pics.

A neighbor gave me above. First Honda I've had. I'm checking it over, seeing about parts . Carb is so bad that I want a new one. I input the serial GJAB-6575242 into Honda parts and got "not found". Maybe it's older than 2004. Just searching for HRM215 carb, I see 16100-ZG9-010. Does that seem...

You still haven't posted the engine model #....eg: 126M02-1525-F1. Probably on the shroud above the muffler.

Post a pic of it. I pulled the carb off an HU700F last week and don't recall any fuel line trouble.

Most clamps are a band but could be a wire with a 9 and a reverse 9 on the ends. You treat them the same way - pliers.

Good deal, E. Maxwell. And War Eagle!

You can measure the conduit length and cable length, then find a generic replacement. I just used this one from ebay - it was a little long but no problem. A little short - now, that'd be a problem. I drilled a new hole in the handle side to secure cable at the proper place. Lawn Mower...

Pull your air filter and look at the choke plate. It should be totally closed when engine cold. If not...1. Air Vane is out of adjustment. 2. Air vane spring is bad.3. Tstat is bad. 4. Lots of crud in there keeping air vane from moving freely.

Remove air filter and try a squirt of fuel directly into carb throat. ~ tbl spoon amount. If it pops and runs for 2-3 secs = fuel delivery/carb problem.

Suspect carb is dirty and varnished. You can get an overhaul kit, then clean and rebuild carb. Should be Briggs 498260. You may get by just with removing bowl (careful with gasket or you'll need one) and rod out jet with phone wire. Check youtube for videos. A simpler solution (esp if new at...
