Best photo of a badly stamped plate

Trying to find the carb for B&S 725 EXi Ready Start Engine Model number stamped on plate wasn't stamped deep - hard to read but here it is: I0M102 - 0028 - F1 DOM Sept 2015 58 (May 8, 2015) When I type it in for owners and parts manual on the B&S site it has zero return for manuals but does...

I live in the SE Charlotte NC area. Red clay. I learned long ago on my 25 acres, that throwing money at making the perfect lawn was a fool's errand. Instead, I had the soil tested an many areas and learned what would grow in those areas. Most of the soil is acid, so I planted many acid...

Susan, Make sure to buy 5 quarts of 30W break in oil and two filters. Fill with break in oil and run engine for 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and replace with break in oil and new filter. Run engine for 8-10 hours. Drain, replace filter. From then on, use 10W-40W or 10W-30W full synthetic oil...

I decided not to pull the engine and pull the crankcase cover off. The engine is 10 years old and has 1850 hours on it. (I edited this, I had typed 1350 instead of 1850). Time for a new engine anyway. I installed 2 new pushrods, adjusted the rockers, new plugs. It runs fine. So far. Of...

Borescope is a great idea to verify, but even with a magnet on the end, it would probably not be strong enough to pull out the pushrods. I don't see any other viable solution other than pulling the engine, and disassembling. BTW, there was no knocking, banging or any suspicious noise. The...

I agree. It is pretty obvious that they both went into the crankcase. Gap is always set at 0.12mm on TDC of compression stroke for each cylinder on a cold engine, and I check this twice a season. I keep spare gaskets on hand for this. Engine shroud is removed and engine blown out with air...

Engine was running rough. Popped the valve covers on my FR730V. Right side was fine, minor valve clearance adjustment done on exhaust valve. On the left side the pushrods were missing! Tappets are fine, no holes in cylinder, rocker arms are fine, no evidence of a hole in the piston. I am...
