What engine parts do u have?

Last time i checked, the needle has the rubber tip so there is no seat to replace.

I can say i had one that is similar to yours but was a Sears like this: Sears Rider Mine was from 70 if I am correct at reading the Tec serial number on mine. If yours has the original motor, that SN should give u a year of make.

From personal experience, my 3000gt is 23 yo now. back when it had 160K miles i had to take a cyl head off due to a coolant leak. When I did so, I was amazed to see that the cyl hatch marks on the cylinder wall were still there and consistent all throughout the cyl. of course usually these are...

I like them. I have them on my 80's sears mowers and only ever needed to change oil and add gas. Borrow a cyl compression test tool from car parts store and test it before u buy it. If it has the charging wire, test that it puts out 14/15ishVolts. Listen for any loud rattling noises and it not...

I can hear them - the high pitch and pulsing and all. They are annoying. They work for me...I don't relieve myself on my neighbors lawn and all.. There is an indian neighbor that keeps crapping on a common area in my neighborhood. I drive by now and then watching him watch me as his dog is...

HH\Salvation Army has a cure for your problem. It is called a price tag. One of the side affects from this treatment tends to be Frustration- typically with the phrase 'you want this much for this piece of sI#I?'. As always, nothing is perfect as Salvation Army left a Ariens Snowblower out back...

You can test it to find out if it also is a breather. If this is where a 3/32" tube connects, I had a few of them - blowers and Ariens mower. All of mine they act as breather also. I think car parts store has a cap you could put on it but if it is like mine, you would need to leave it open for...

If you didn't get a socket already, Oreily's auto loans out large impact wrench sockets. I borrowed one to take off my truck's front wheel bearing.

In order to keep the mower level, you would need to bring the brackets off the mower you are getting the larger wheels from. This bracket will have the shaft higher to account for the taller wheels. You would need to make sure the holes to bolt them onto your deck and maybe need to carry over...

"You never see any commercial lawn crews running battery gear" You will soon in Cali. They are looking banning gas outdoor equip.

Maybe not *that* old. The Ariens logo style itself was used after '63. See logo history - https://www.ariens.com/en-us/company/blog/240/behind-the-scenes-a-look-at-the-new-ariens-logo

R u saying they started riviting model\SN plates since 98?

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.

Found it 1-2021

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.
