    Muffler bolts will not stay tight and often fall out

    Sounds like BS to me. Mufflers should be able to be removed and re-installed without issues unless of course the internal threads are hooped.

    GOODBYE TO ELECTRIC

    True, but most batteries are dated at mfg. Ryobi has mailed me batteries under warranty. Might also be cheaper to have them rebuilt locally as opposed to replaced.

    How to identify Craftsman MTD model

    But the cable was working fine before it broke? So why not go with it again.

    How to identify Craftsman MTD model

    Usually the cable sheath itself has a number imprinted on it. You can use that number to order a new cable.

    RPM for a 22" residential push mower

    It's 13yr old now, I would sharpen and balance the blade and not raise it more than 2900rpm. Sharp/balanced blades make all the difference. Running with an unbalanced blade just going to damage the engine. New blades are pretty cheap.

    Water in Gas, Help Needed!!!

    You can use the existing fuel filter if you think it's good, it will get flushed. No I can't. You can let them sit for a couple of hours and it will separate.

    RPM for a 22" residential push mower

    Why are you wanting to up the rpm? Do you think it's not mowing well enough?

    Water in Gas, Help Needed!!!

    Hook up all your hoses, change the filter if you want. Keep your fuel shut off in off, put good fuel in the tank. Drop the bowl off the carb and empty and clean. Leave the bowl off and turn your fuel on till you get a good stream of fresh fuel coming through the carb. Shut off the fuel, put...

    If you go back to message #9 you will see that Rivets has posted links to Walbro carb info, can't remember if there was Zama stuff there also.

    Juntjoo: I honestly don't know why Rivets is wasting his time with you. Your arrogance and ignorance is deplorable on a site meant to help people. This is not a site to educate you in small engine repair, it's for people that either have some mechanical knowledge or when they find out that...

    Awesome reference reading Rivets! Keeping all those PDF's for future reference. I normally only piddle around with 4 strokes but I always need refresher on the 2 stroke carbs. Thanks!

    The 2 on the left hand side look like there is an airbleed port below the mounting hole on the left. Also be aware of venturi size as well as jetting.

    This forum will be dead soon.

    I don't think so, there will be gas powered equipment out there for a while yet. Not everyone is able to purchase something new (battery powered). A good amount of equipment is still serviceable and repairable for less than buying new. I worry more about small engine shops slowly running out...

    John Deere JS38 push mower

    Have you checked that you have good fuel delivery from the tank? Pull the fuel line off at the carburetor and make sure fuel is coming out of the hose at a good rate. Follow Rivets instructions and rebuild the carb if you have good fuel flow from the tank, otherwise, remedy the restriction in...

    John Deere JS38 push mower

    You can handle this, adjusting the valves is a 30 min job for beginners. I wouldn't get carried away with Grumpyunk's suggestion just yet, just set your clearances to .007". Make sure your valve cover gasket is in good condition or better yet replace it so you don't end up with oil leaks.

    Honda gcv 160 rebuild

    If you are reusing an original cylinder you absolutely hone before replacing rings otherwise they will not seat. Also, have you staggered the gap on the rings 120° apart? Did you check the end gap of the rings before installation? New ring end gap should be .008" to .014"

    Carb float not sitting right

    The brass piece is the seat. It's built in to the carburetor. You won't necessarily use all the parts in a carb kit, they usually cover a few models.

    Just keep spinning the nut/stud out ccw and then remove the red plastic cover. (Don't lose the 3 metal spacers in the cover) Then you can remove the nut from the stud. Re-install the stud with red loctite and re-assemble. The front stud holds the coil in place so you'll have to reset the...

    Honda irrigation pump motor not running well

    I agree on always trying to use the original carb. That was the plan... But the main jet had already been damaged by someone else so it's not coming out in one piece as well as the drop damage from me. Idle jet o-rings missing also I was of the same thought as you with regards to opening up...
