I’ve attempted to search this Forum for answer to my question/issue, but apparently I’m not tech savvy enough. So I’m posting my question hoping that someone else hasn’t already been posted it. I’m looking for a diagram or picture of the carburetor configuration for the following push mower:
- Craftsman; model: 917.388382; s/n: 062700M077713
- B&S carb: model: 12H802; type: 2675-B1; code: 0006165
The reason for the request is that I believe I’m missing a spring but am unsure because I can’t track down a good service manual or picture of my particular model.
Hey Rivets! Thanks for the quick response! Yes, the choke-return spring (#217) is there, but the way it’s attached, it doesn’t allow the choke to to close. In other words, with the cure two attach points, the choke is always open. That’s why I was looking for a picture of the correct configuration
See if this is similar enough to your mower to be correct. Different model number but could be same setup
Around the 4 minute mark shows the linkages and the spring connection locations in the video. Just pause and look and place that part of the video to see how everything is connected.
If you remove the filter base plate, access to the carb is a lot easier. Another tip, take cell phone pictures before you take it apart - springs, wires, belts, etc. or see if a buddy has one like it.
