I am not one to give up but this one has me baffled and could possibly be cursed .The first thing I noticed wrong was the primer bulb was leaking so it was replaced not an easy find as it is a wet primer bulb.The starter rope broke on the second pull so I fixed that and it starts but will not...

I worked on a Lawnboy silver duraforce last week that had a warped carb.Why did the carb warp?The ones I see with warped carb bodies are covered in gook so there is no way the heat can dissipate.You have to clean em up once in a while with engine degreaser and a tooth brush then spray down with...

I see why now everyone says to just buy a new one already on the axle.I spent two hours removing cleaning repacking replacing only to find the trans will roll back fine now but locks up rolling forward .the grease in mine was hardened up and I think when I cleaned it I took what little bit of...

I was watching a youtube video where this person claimed that the wheels will not free wheel backwards due to metal and nylon shavings inside the trans gearbox.I have also noted that old grease will cause this also.both the transmissions on my L21zsn and my commercial 8480 still work as long as...

I have a 10550 and a 10323 both with the plastic carb.I have seen all the youtube videos where this works and that works but my opinion is that the carb body warps and no drilling jets or spring replacing is going to cure that.also after the gaskets have been r and r'ed several times they too...
