everybody else understood what I was talking about other than you, huh

I just received a new carburetor for my Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder generator. It came with several attachments for carburetor control. The one that's currently on the carburetor is not the correct control for my application. How do I remove that control and put the new one on? I...

Can I just pull the black choke controller lever off and replace it with the appropriate whatever? If yes what would be the appropriate way to remove the lever? I was thinking a screwdriver nudge on either side to free the lever from the carburetor. Let me know what you think. I am in the rust...

And I have just been corrected! Lung replacement surgery would be analogous to what I am attempting.

I just received my new carburetor for my Briggs & Stratton Storm responder. I'm attaching a couple of photos. The lever that is on it to control the choke is not going to fit the application. The other lever that's included will. What's the safe way of removing the lever handle that's installed...

I picked one up from harbor freight and it was a little bit of Overkill but, like many of my other tools, I probably won't need it again 🤔 but if I ever do, I won't be able to find it 😳

Thanks! I ordered another carburetor and promise I will not remove the bowl from this one 🤔🤫

Thanks 4 all the help! Will keep u posted.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324264091762 is a link to a carburetor for my engine. The engines is 0304-30 b - 01. Not to sound completely ignorant, will I need to adjust any settings on the carburetor or is it plug and Play? I assume that the section off the carburetor that is in between the...

Thanks for the info. I will try to get a diagram of the carburetor float mechanism for this engine and see what I may have inadvertently dropped. This will also give me the necessary information to purchase a carburetor for this model. For what it's worth, taking it back apart the second time...

I spotted that o-ring when I took the carburetor back apart and made sure that it was seated properly around the plastic piece that goes in to the metal assembly. I think I'm going to try to find a diagram of the float mechanism in the carburetor that I have and see if I inadvertently dropped a...

I took the carburetor off. I was able to remove the two screws and took the carburetor bowl off.There was a little bit of gunked up gas and I cleaned it. I cleaned out the entire fuel tank. I put the float mechanism back in and seated it just as I found it. The problem that I have created is...

Thanks for the in depth info! I really appreciate the time you took to help me make a good decision! Thanks again

This would be to run the whole house for whatever length of time was necessary. Dual fuel is a good option and the electric start is a plus. The price point is a plus right now. Looking at my Briggs & Stratton 8250 generator isn't really enough to power what we had but it's been good in a pinch...

Just drove over and picked up a set. I shall give it a shot tomorrow when there is enough light. Thanks for everybody's help ‼️

In the event I don't repair my Briggs & Stratton defender 8250 generator, I saw some good prices on Westinghouse and Duramax electric start generators and wondered what you folks thought of those brand names. Thanks

My photography leaves a little to be desired. The ends of those bolts are six pointed. My first thought is to just grab a hold of them with vice grips and turn counterclockwise. I don't know... While I have the brain power focused in on something, what do you guys think about Westinghouse...

Well I started taking off the carburetor and am unfamiliar with the tool that I need to take the bolts off and hold the carburetor on. I know it's probably simple but every time I try to fix something, I run into something new. I'm open to suggestions on how to take those two bolts out so I can...

Generator unit is about 14 years old Briggs & Stratton Storm responder 8250. Always run clean gas through the unit and use stabilizer. Change it every 6 months. This year it had all the signs of crap in the carburetor. I went to take the bowl off to give it a good cleaning and it's held on by...

I have a 2005 Murray riding tractor with a 42 inch cutting deck. I'm wondering if the bagging unit that is out there for the 100 and 200 will fit my model. thanks for the help. You guys are a tremendous resource.

I was looking for an old 2620 or 2840 to replace the auger housing on my old 2840. Found one on FB for $200. It's only 2 years old, is a 277cc as opposed to 208cc on my old 2840. It has been stored in a garage and only used 12-15 times. I lucked out and will take better care of this one.

Come to find out, my 2nd 2840 is a 2620 troy-bilt. I went a little cave man on the auger housing and it is still a little off. I measured both sides from the center wheel bolt to the beginning of the housing and it is within 1/8". The housing skids still pull to the left. I got most of that...

If all the measurements of the auger housing of the 26" and the 28" match, can I swap them? Turns out my second 2840 is a 2610.

I downloaded both the user manual and the engine manual. Neither show removing anything but the engine shroud, if it exists on my model. Would you mind shooting me the file(s) you are referencing? I understand to what your are referring. I have a lawn vac that started dieseling when I...

It's loose gravel. Those kids look interesting. I may give them a try. When I would try to set the skin so that the housing was about an inch off the ground my left hand skid from the operator's position would wear down and that corner would end up digging into the gravel. I'm going to try to...

Sure. It's kind of hard to see. Here are a few. Hard to see well. The server wouldn't allow my pictures, too large. I am copying a google link to the photos.https://photos.app.goo.gl/YbhnWubSjAxj3kX7A The plastic "skid" on the right side as you look at the machine is wearing out as fast as...

I have had 2 Troybilt storm 2840's and was responsible in the demise of the first one. I have had a problem with the machine digging into the gravel on one side. I adjusted The black "skids" on the housing and it really didn't fix the problem. I picked the metal "skids" from my first machine...

Thanks for your help. I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it. I found it with my metal detector and am putting the rig back together in the AM. Verbal description would be a three "fingered" flange that attaches to the block and rubs the same level of the flywheel that the goes thru the...

I was taking apart an old leaf vac that was overheating . Found a mouse nest that was causing the problem. I detached a small flange that was pressed against the fly wheel. Can't find the part and was wondering what it was, what its purpose was and is it necessary for the engine to run. I...
