How much fuel should be in the fuel filter? I recently disassembled and cleaned the Nikki carburetor on a17.5 HP engine. I replaced the needle as well as the gaskets. And noticed that there's barely any gasoline in the clear fuel filter. I have a photo that maybe hard to see but it was half...

OK so if I understand you, you feel it is more important to set the choke to full close than it is to line up holes on the plate. I have not had thus long enough to know if I need a hundred percent full choke on a cold day. Those days are coming soon in New Jersey. Where it was set seem to be...

Can someone help me understand what is meant by the language used in step 3? I assume the governor control rack (D) is jsut the white piece not the metal plate it rides it, correct? But I don't understand what "holes" I am aligning. They say "holes" but B on the diagram is only pointing to...

Photos of pedal in both states- not pressed and parking brake. A 2x4 block of wood is about what I need with seat all the way forward. So a full 2" is probably better but 1.5" is ok. With the space cut out seen in the frame, you would think it is adjustable. I think us not mentioned in the...

Hello, I have a Craftsman LT1 1500 mower but I have to lift enough off the seat to fully depress the brake pedal. This stalls the machine due to the low tolerance on the safety switch. I have the seat moved all the way forward but I am 5'3" and the pedal is too far away. I removed one of...

Hi I have a bought a used LT1500 mower with Briggs and Stratton engine 31C707 3346 G6 engine Code 110510ZD It has a Nikki Carburetor It starts right up but surges for a minute or so before it warms up. Then it seems to run fine. Maybe a surge when the PTO is first engaged but I have not used...

I guess the attached image I found in my manual should have suggested first. I am confused on the arrows pointing to mounting screws but the directions stating to loosen the lower bearing. re they saying to loosen those as well?

Noma/Murray A4012-110(12 HP Briggs and Stratton 4 wheel steer is not turning right. It got harder to make sharp turns either left or right. One day I put more fixed and the wheel jumped the teeth so the steering wheel was upside down . I forced back but it was never the same. Wheel but...
