The need for a good book

[Joe55]

Hi again all,
I am about to attempt to rebuild the carburetor on an Ariens HT16 Sierra. Its attached to a Briggs & Stratton 16 hp motor. I need to remove the carb but there is no way to get the tools on the fasteners unless the whole manifold comes off. I can't seem to find any thing to look at and need a direction to a manual if possible.
Thanks in advance
Joe

Can you please post the engine numbers so we know manual you need?

On the bottom front of the carb is a plug, that takes a 5/8" wrench. Remove it, and crank, and see if fuel pulses out.... In this hole is a jet that is removed with an
"allen" wrench, remove it and clean it, and crank some more. Reassemble and see what happens. If it doesn't clear up, then you may have to remove and clean the carb....
