I am renovating a used and abused bed redefiner that came with a GX240. The entire machine, including the engine, was filthy. It had an oil leak at the bottom of the crankcase. I had to take the engine off anyway to do some welding on the frame, and decided to clean the carb while I was...

I got a used John Deere pressure washer with a John Deere "badged" engine. It is an OHV 250cc horizontal engine with 11.5 on the cover but this is supposed to be torque and not hp. I am just about positive is an Briggs engine. Number is 150212-0126-B8. I can't find the specs for the valve...

I am helping a neighbor with a no start, and leak condition on a neglected 5500w generator. It is an UST model. I verified the carb is completely junked up, the threads on the bowl retaining nut are missing, and the petcock filter in the tank was broken off. I've ordered a carb and new...

I bought an non-running pressure washer from Marketplace. The seller said it hadn't been running for a couple of years. Typically the gamble on these for me is whether the pump is shot, and if the pump is good I can flip by getting it running, and put it back on Marketplace. I can't get this...

Carb leaking gas out of air inlet, Quantum 6.5. I disassembled and cleaned the carb and replaced the needle and seat. Float is intact and has no gas inside the float. I reassembled and still have the same (large) leak. There appears to not be any adjustment on this plastic float. Is there...

This is on a Honda GX31 but also a generic question. I have two identical tillers, one of which I just picked up. My original tiller works fine, the recent one had some carb symptoms. Before buying anything, I decided to move the carb over from my old one to the recent one. It now starts...

I have developed the well documented leak at the sump gasket that looks like it is coming out of the oil filter. I was finally able to get the cleaned up and jumped my safeties so I could actually see it running. The drip is coming down from the sump but is getting blown on the back of the...

I bought a baker/simplicity leaf vac recently that is smoking some. I knew it smoked when I bought it but was chasing the electric start feature and higher hp. My plan is to use it this season as is and deal with it over the winter. Starts readily and has plenty of power. I wanted to find...

I was gifted an older snapper push mower that I want to get running. It is self-propelled, electric start, seems to have all the parts. I finally got it to "pop" today but it obviously needs carb attention. The engine #is 124707 3147 01. 5hp Briggs. According to the parts places, the carb...
