    Trying to get 190cc Briggs & Stratton to start - with video

    Yes, for sure and at that point, in my diagnostics, where it doesn't fire, is where Step 5 would be, to pull the flywheel and check the key. In my pre-diagnosis, before I do anything, among other items I look for, I check the condition of the blade. If I see a big divot out of it, and the mower...

    I've been fixing small engines now for just a couple of years as a hobby and have picked up lots of things along the way. With the problem that you are having, here is what I would do in this order 1. the very first thing I check for is the oil to find out what condition it's in or if any exists...

    Mastercraft mower with Tecumseh engine - looking for the right key

    I have a Mastercraft Model: 113-413E515 mower that I am trying to figure out what key I need. It’s a Tecumseh engine but I can’t find any model number on it which is strange. I bought a kit of keys but the one that would fit in the slot appears to be too small or not the same as the original...

    Poulan LT7000 weed eater starts, runs for a short time, then dies

    Good morning, I still do not have this unit going. The lines are correct now, it does start and run for a while but only on half choke. After it's been running for about 15 seconds, if I open the choke wide or close it completely, it will die. And saying that, after about a couple of minutes, it...

    thanks for all the advise. So, will something like this work for me then? And if it will, is it a case that I aim it at the spark plug?

    Measuring RPM on a mower

    I was thinking of getting a digital tachometer because there have been a few machines in the past that I've worked on that 'appear to me' that they maybe running a little too fast. Also, if I were to purchase one, they are very cheap $25.00CA from Amazon. My concern is that I will purchase one...

    Homelite UT-20700 weed eater - can't find the correct parts for the head

    I have a Homelite UT-20700 weed eater and there are parts missing for the head. I thought I ordered the correct parts but when they came, they were completely different than what is on the head. On the handle, there is a model number: D825SB. When I look that number up, it does not cross back to...

    Poulan LT7000 weed eater starts, runs for a short time, then dies

    thanks everyone for the advise. Today, I will take my notes out and confirm everything and repost my results. After I read ILENGINE, I went out and reversed the hoses but I didn't start the unit up as I had other things on the go. Again, today I will get time to spend with my favorite weed...

    Poulan LT7000 weed eater starts, runs for a short time, then dies

    ok, thanks for this. I have worked on many weed eaters and this one with the remote bulb has got me confused. When it came to me, the hoses were broken and on the internet, there are no pictures of how those hoses should be connected with the remote bulb. Also, if I can't get this carb working...
