I've got an older weed eater brand push mower, I think it's about a 3.5hp briggs on it. I can usually pick these up for next to nothing (usually about $10 used). I clean them up, change the oil and air filters, and then resell them for about $65. This last one I picked up, had a rid knocking...

A friend was mine told me the other day that super unleaded had less ethanol in it than regular. This is something I'd never even thought about. But when I stopped at the gas station later that day, I noticed the ethanol sign (10% or less ethanol) was the only thing mentioned on the pump. In...

Briggs 10hp (283707) on an older model snapper riding mower (30" deck with the rectable steering wheel). When I disconnect the kill wire, it starts and runs fine. When I reconnect the kill wire, it kills it. I can't see any bare wires. I've moved them all around, off any parts of the frame...

Some of you know, I've had carb troubles since I joined here. Carbs are usually the ONLY thing that gives me troubles. They hate me. But, I have to say, I've been using a better grade of gas, the highest octane available at the local gas station, and my mowers (a 19.5 opposed twin with the 4...

Finally, after nearly a year, I have finally fixed my 19.5 Briggs powered LT1000. It was the carburetor. Even though I had rebuilt it last year, it still didn't run right. I'm thinking that all of that white water deposits that I couldn't get out then, some of it probably broke loose and clogged...

42E707-2631-E3. 4 bolt fuel pump. I've rebuilt this carb just a few months ago. But, I have to choke it nearly all the way, and sometimes have to unchoke and rechoke it while it's running, to keep it running... Any tips on how to adjust it? Or did I get something wrong when I put the fuel...

I bought a 18.5hp OT (42A707-1238-01) MTD (13AS699G088 )the other day, I can spin the motor by hand, but it's hard. Which I think is a good thing. I changed the gears on the starter, because the one that came with it was ground down. (Not a good thing).. Anyways, the newer gear seemed to fit...

I recently rebuilt the carb in this 19.5hp OT (42E707-2631-E3)... I have plenty of trouble with this. Finally rewired it without all the safety switches. And got it running. Except now, when I turn too sharp too fast, it tries to stall. I have to choke it all the time. By the time I was finished...

Yesterday, I was mowing when I ran out of gas. So I refilled the tank and tried starting it. (Briggs opposed twin 19.5hp) It wouldn't start. So I got the starter fluid out, and that didn't work. So, I pulled the plug, placed it on the edge of the exhaust and noticed it wasn't sparking. So I let...

Most of us "do it yourself'ers" don't have access to certain tools just for "around the house" fix it jobs. While trying to clean my carburetor on my LT1000, I came up with a great idea. I took my carb apart and put it into an empty coffee can. Filled it up (just over the top of the parts)...

I have a 21hp briggs, model #407777-0167-E1. There's only a cap where the oil filter should be. Since I have so much to mow (probably 8+ acres) seems a little extra protection (installing an oil filter) would be necessary. I run Mobil 1 synthetic in it. But would like to adapt an oil filter to...

Before I get into this, let me just say, I understand the dangers in disabling safety switches. . So no need in explaining all that... I've been researching safety switch problems, and can't see to figure this one out... It's a craftsman LT1000. 19.5 I/c. Yesterday, while mowing, it sounded...

The fuel pump is a 4 bolt. It's this one: When I got this LT1000, the fuel pump nozzle was sticking out the side. (Next to the choke cable).. After cleaning it out, and putting new gaskets in it, I put it back the way it was supposed to be.. Like this: (Just in case these pics don't...

Actually there are 2 pages. But it's pretty detailed as to how magneto's, flywheels and spark plugs work. I hope this helps someone. Here's a little bit: Read more here..

I took a 19.5 briggs I/C Platinum (model 42E707) off of one frame and put it on another. I brought the wiring harness with it. The wiring harness one the newer frame was a little different, so I'm using the same one that was attached to that engine. The only thing I didn't transfer from the old...
