I just came across a Poulan 361. I rebuilt the carb and it purred like a cat, but I had to remove it and upon redoing the mix screws, I can't get it to run right again. Can someone tell me what the default mix settings are? I know last time I had a goofy setting 1.75H 3L. TIA.

Mower companies are not about to reinvent the wheel. They use a current standard size filter. If I can find an orange replacement for $6.50, green paint on the same filter is not worth $20.

It is not difficult. At the bottom of the carb(behind the air filter) is the metal "bowl" at the bottom. There is a 1/2" bolt underneath it. unscrew that and find a sewing needle or some very small wire as at the internal end of the bolt is a fine hole. it is clogged up with dirt making u need...

How about visiting a car salvage yard and getting the heat shield that blocked heat from the muffler or cat and cut it to fit your muffler?

no. The ratchet clicks when u push the mower fwd. Pull back is the same as engine driving the mower - no click. Then again, if so, it would be hard to push forward.

When does it die? After you run it for 10 min? What sound does it make? does it sound bogged down or sound the same as if u killed the engine grounding the ignition. If it stops going put, put, put and comes to a stop, get an ignition test light and run with it on your engine. When it...

So is kawasaki going to own the commercial market then? Or is suzuki going to return to the market?

They are fine with that - just so long as they don't see the generator, like the powerplant burning fuel that they usually charge their car from.....

I just got back. Last time I went, some guy was smoking out the gutter. This time: I never saw a push mower but plenty of people with these backpack trimmers: Lastly, might I suggest to business owners something to increase business. I mean if u sell keys, it works for this store owner so...

-dies if idle -fuel leaks at cap For starters, u need to replace\repair the gas cap. It is a rebranded Echo 80'ish trimmer so look around for a similar cap. If you want to test before u buy a cap, take plastic wrap and put it over the fuel tank and put the cap on. That will temporarily fix the...

I use about 1 gal each year(at home, less at other rentals). I am fine with it. 2cycle oil has gas treatment in it.

Trufuel is highway robbery. I mean $7 for a quart or in that ballpark??? Just buy the Stihl oil if money is so critical. (I personally don't have a favorite on my 70's Stihl FS80's and 60's homelite chainsaw etc and see no scratches on the pistons.)

"2. One rear wheel is broken." I saw HD sells the Toro drive wheel with metal sprocket the other day. Maybe this is only in my area.

I used Por back in the 90's to paint my 60's tiller. I still have it and it never had a speck of rust. The problem I had was that their Hardnose paint on top of the Por peeled off here and there. The Snowbird snowblower I used the same thing and after10 years and my moving south, not a speck of...

I have it on a shirt.

I have a mower than ran before I sold it, it ran when I sold it to him. Now he tells me it doesn't run. The first thing, "gas" smells like paint solvent- the kind I use to regrip my golf clubs. I tell him and he says "nuh uh!!!". I dump it, add gas, and it runs like a top again. Maybe he should...

"Sometimes pull cord kicks back" Sounds like your flywheel sheared the key.

Of the ones I have come across, the only parts that break on your mower is wheel bearings(rust)- if your wheels have them(they are at Home Depot for $10). There is also the few rubber parts like belt and drive wheel. That is normal after many years. The other spinning parts I have come across...

I would check\replace the diaphragm first. If the gas doesn't smell funky, that would likely get it running. The diaphragm is the 4 screw plate above the tank on the side of the muffler. When I get these, usually it IS the diaphragm that is no longer flexible. Heads up when u remove the...

Yeah, you are missing a few parts - the vane that goes in the square opening on the flywheel cover\shroud, the screw that the vane pivots on-to the hole to the left of the choke, and the spring that pulls the vane toward the flywheel. pm me. I have those misc parts laying around.

Where they are mounted in the engine. I'll heat it up next time I need to remove them. I have 1 older one where none broke but I just got one with good compression but the owners likely snapped all 3 to replace the rope and a 3rd one that the screw is not turning so I am leaving it so as not to...

I have a Briggs and Stratton 11P902-0693-B1 where the 3 screws that hold the cover and pull cord assembly keep snapping. I tried wiggling it back and forth with no luck. Anybody have any trick with these screws? Briggs Engine

What I don't get is that if this truck costs as much as a Diesel truck, how is it financially feasible? I mean, like a plane, you use the crap out of it to pay for itself. A battery truck will be down for hours a day just to charge. The GM Hummer took almost 24 hrs to charge. This will have a...

I looked there already. Mine is not there but there is a 14hp so I guess it should be the same. Thx.

Being the bottom of the engine is not flat, I know I would have a template that is off thus drill in the wrong places.

Anyone have a link to a diagram of the dimensions of where the bolt holes are for a Briggs 281707? I'm playing and would like to know where to drill holes vs eyeballing it. TIA.

I have one of those covers laying around. It is used so it is not perfect and it is black, not red.

Oh... interesting. I wondered why HD only had Toro gas mowers...

Understandable. When running a company when you reach for that part, it better fit and work or you are out another hour+ to get a part that works. Buying from the the maker or an OEM supplier can 99% guarantee to fit and work. Personally, myself putzing around fixing my own odds and ends, I...

I beg to disagree. I mean sure, sell a model with no tap\bolt for use where you can't get to it such as on a power washer but I have seen quite a few Quantums on mowers with the flat spot where the bolt went. In other words- they still used the same mold to cast the part but want to save the 39...

Look up "bearing" on google maps. You will find some industrial supplier nearby. Ask for a good industrial name brand seal like Timken so you don't get a crappy seal from china that is hard as a rock and will leak in no time. This seal is about $5 each so you don't save much if any buying it...

There are many different setups. post a pic\model numbers so we can tell u. There are a few different quantums that are used on power washers. Some are the plain briggs. It is like a mower with 1 catch- it has a heavier flywheel than the mower setup. Some use a Quantum with a stubby shaft...

maybe knocking it loose will give u an idea. A Kawasaki i got recently had an oil filter that needed the Jaws of Life to knock loose- just like personal car oil filter experience. If it easily turns I would guess it is recent but yes as posted above - look at the oil to see if it looks fairly...

"The guy threw in a file." And you're not happy??? jk. Ouch!!!

I went with the shorter filter on my Gravely 0-T. Short or long filter- I figure this small engine does not pump as much oil as a 4IL so it shouldn't make any difference. I would be nervous of 2 parts rubbing up agains each other. my ₵₵.

I can say the cub CC989 used that deck. I had a Sears copy of this mower also. I'll do some digging through my pics. Hope this gets u closer to a fix.

Face it- that's the internet. it processed your order and has it on file, maybe it submitted an order to the maker of the part and the maker has no plan in making\shipping it in the next 6 months. The whole time, no person personally looked at your order. That's the computer age for u. I...

"Green Bean Casserole Seltzer" Look at it this way - it is not as crazy as eating bugs....

I buy parts when I am fixing for others, but if I didn't hack\cnc alternate\new parts, my old machines wouldn't be running as parts being NLA. I actually get alot of oldies\goodies because the shops are firm with your attitude. A Western Auto tiller only needed a new 10" wheel which to the shop...

Actually, it doesn't have Fwd and Rev ports. The first piston pump only tilts to change the order the pistons-the direction it pumps fluid- thus the direction the mower moves.

On my personal stuff when I came across this, I used a dremel tool cutting disk and cut slots on the 2 mix screws. I don't want to buy the tool only to adjust it once...

It doesn't have 6 set speeds right? If so, the transmission works by pumping fluid and not by direct gear drive. (I found pics but don't see a spec what trans u have) Check the trans fluid level. Just being low, maybe it is overheating- parts expanding as you drive it??? Being it pumps oil to...

How is cali going to enforce this? I mean can my brother smuggle a gas mower and use it and say it is old if he gets harassed? (That's what I would do)

I'm a nobody but I can say I have come accross a good number of honda mowers. 99% People toss them for 1 problem. If it doesn't work, the problem they all have is the self propel. Of the types of self propel, the 4 speed gear propel is OK. The variable speed type are the ones that are shot. I...

The unloader would be parts 11-23. If no funny noises, Low pressure=I would guess is the unloader stuck open. With the unloader, usual- righty tighty, higher pressure. back off that unloader so it is very low pressure and try to move the "plunger" part of it by hand. It should move freely to...

I have seen where the teeth themselves on the wheel are totally chewed to a nub the slipping, it must be the teeth. I would suggest get a file or dremel tool and round off the metal teeth. They must be shaving the plastic teeth. I have seen sears mowers with the same setup from the 80's and the...

I came accross a HS56 but it is missing the pull cord assembly. Before I buy the missing parts, I want to test if it runs so I am using a drill to crank to see if the ignition works. Compression feels good but that is for later. I do not get any spark(or is it I just can't see it???) with the...

Crew pouring gas to start another job:

I see the full line plus a hair of the shadow for 1.0 on the scale. If it less then you wouldn't see the 1.0 line or barely see it. Anyway, that's what I see. Looking at a video, it appears it has been too long since i used one as I am reading on the wrong side of the line and reading up...

Looks like 1.045- looking at an angle and all...
