Repairs How to remove carb. on a Toro 21" rear bagger

[trooper1954]

Hi all,
Have a very old Toro 21" rear bagger Model number 26623. It's not been running well, and today quit completely amid lots of smoke! It's not seized, there is oil in the crank case, and it will start and run for a short period of time after a shot of carb cleaner. I took off the fuel lines and the fuel filter, and both had bits inside. I intend to replace both lines and filter, but feel that given what I've seen the carb will probably have junk in it too. Does anyone have a step by step to removing the carb on this machine, or can point me on the 'net to somewhere that does? Thanks...any help would be appreciated.

Thanks KennyV,
Strange...I went to the site and couldn't find the carb. When I looked more closely at my carb it has Mikuni on it, and a stamp on the engine that says made in Japan. Perhaps this is NOT a Briggs and stratton engine? Altho the fuel filter says B and S on it??
Also...I removed the valve cover and the oil inside smells very burnt?? Any ideas anyone?

Post up the B&S engine number/type and any name/make/numbers on the carb, if the oil is burnt as you say, it could be the ring's. need doing. you can always do a compression test.

Thanks Engineman,
Unfortunately there is absolutely no numbers on the engine anywhere, only "Made in Japan". The carb. has "Mikuni Corp." on it but no numbers.

Is there anyway of taking a few photo's and post them up here.

Copy the pic from the above post site and take apart the carb starting from 24 and remove bowl, next remove bowl float 28, needle 29, remove 32 clean out 21 with carb cleaner and all hole's that you can see, making sure that 21 is clean, use cleaner down the fuel inlet, repeat until you are happy then refit all parts.
and make sure seal 30 is in good order. when you put nut 24 back on, don't over do it.

if you damage part's 13 or they're are, repleace them.
