I did not start this thread, turfboy1997 owns it and the thread. I just posted about an older LB hoping to solve a problem easily. Maybe he'll share the SN so I'll know if the part he advocates will work on my mower. I am a little lost about all this.
:confused2:

I checked both models for the year 2000 and the part is the same.

first i would try the idle jet replacement because you dont even have to remove the carb. second all duraforce mowers have the same carb so it dosent matter what serial it is. lately i have been drilling both jets with great success. it is scary what the engine sounds like when this is performed. all i know is all duraforce mowers will have the pilot and main nozzle drilled even if they are not surging. the most important thing is they run cooler too which is easier on everything. good luck.

Is their a picture or diagram that will show me EXACTLY what needs to be drilled larger? If I drill do I still neeed to replaced the idle jet? All help is appreciated!

Is there a good and easy to install carb I can buy to replace the OE?

Too much money for a carburetor. Why not try to buy a jet then you just have to change it which is very easy to do. If you drill the jet larger you don't have to replace it.

You are up early! Do you or anyone have a link that shows these jets? It sounds like there is more than one.

This is link to the carburetor schematic which shows just the main jet. I can't find a picture of the idle jet so you have to ask turfboy for a picture
