I have a Stihl chainsaw 028 that just fills up with fuel. Fuel lines are good. Thought it might be tank vent. Cleaned it out good. Still does it just sitting there. Take spark plug out and pull rope and fuel shoots out of exhaust and spark plug hole. Any help would be appreciated.

I had cut a tree in my yard and my wife and I decided to just pile it up and burn it because we did not have anywhere to haul it to. Now we have the burnt spot in the yard of course. What is the best way to help my grass grow back? And yes I knew exactly what the outcome would be from the fire. Lol!

I have a yard machines push mower with a 5.75 briggs engine that will not start. I have cleaned the carb and put a new kit in. I have repaired tons of these with this same problem. It is usually the main jet. There is plenty of fuel flow to carb and carb bowl is full. Primer bulb works and will...

I have a small maxim tiller. It is one of those that is like a Mantis tiller. Problem is the unit will run but tines will not turn. I replaced the clutch assembly and it did not help. My thought is it has to be in the gear assembly. But I can't get the tines off of the unit to open gear box to...

I adjusted the valves on this engine. When I cranked the engine over without the valve cover on (to check that valves were working right) it seems like there is way too much oil coming out of the push rod galley. How much should there be? I adjusted the valves initially because I rebuilt the...

I have a 31C707 0603 B2 Briggs. Is there any reason a walbro 5-4993 wouldn't interchange from the Nikki carb?

Have a Briggs engine that has a Nikki carb on it. The mower had been sitting for a while and was parked because it wouldn't crank. When I got this mower I found that it was the needle and seat that caused this problem. I changed the oil and purchased a carb kit and installed it. The needle that...

I have a Troybilt Rototiller that I can not get the wheel off. I have got the roll pin out of the axle. But I can't get a hammer to the back of the wheel to persuade it. I need to get this off to replace the axle seal. Any ideas?

What kind of shop signs do you guys have up in your business?

I am working on a GT275 and the hood is very fragile due to being broken. I have to take the hood off and wasnt sure if it slides out or what and didnt want to pull on it. Any hints?

Anyone good with carbs on Honda Rancher?

I have a MS 460 that will not start. It was not producing spark. Now it does intermittently with a different coil. The second coil is from another 460 that was running but cylinder went bad. Will not even try to start with carb cleaner. Done leakdown test also and had a small leak at the...

What causes these circles in the yard?

Have a kohler CV15s that will not start. It will turn over. I have good spark. I am getting fuel through the carb. Plug is getting wet. 60 psi compression. This mower was running but had to have starter rebuilt. Now won't start. What should compression be?

I am still learning a lot about diagnosing electrical problems and ignition systems. I was wondering if anyone had any websites or anything online to study or some type of lessons to do? Or any type of advice would be much appreciative. Thanks.

Briggs Intek had gas in oil. Replaced needle and seat. Cleaned carb. Drained oil and replaced. Adjusted valves. But now the engine revs every once in a while and bogs some. It also pops a little while running then will smooth out and run good for a few seconds then spits and sputters again...

I have air being forced out of the dipstick tube when I turn the engine by hand. It does the same when I try with the key. It acts like it has too much compression but I made sure valves were adjusted already. I can't check compression with my gauge because it won't spin enough. Model 31P777...

I am fixing a older Murray with a Tecumseh OHV 125. Initially it was no start not getting fire. I replaced coil which was a quick fix but once I got it to start it would spit sputter and backfire. I checked valves and they were good. I cleaned carb and put a needle and seat and bowl gasket. It...

Need to look up some parts for a noma model G4620000 code 5339. I know it's a Murray but I can't find any type of model number like this under Murray and don't know what Murray model number would be equivalent. I need deck parts. Please help!!

Tecumseh OHV125 203039B had no spark so I replaced coil. Runs now but surges and backfires. Occasionally while it is running a spark or two would come out from under the flywheel it seemed. Adjusted valves. Cleaned carb. Flywheel key looked fine but did not take flywheel off just the nut. What...

Don't have any attachments for my mower but I was needing to level some loose dirt that I tilled up to smooth my yard. Is there anything else I could use? Like maybe pulling a 4 foot long crosstie long ways?

Have a cub model 1515 that keeps blowing fuses while it is running. It does it at only an idle. The two red wires going to the fuse both get extremely hot within about 30 seconds. The initial problem was hard to start. It has non adjustable valves. I have 12.6 volts at the battery and battery...

22 horse Briggs will run great but sucks fuel filter dry. Tank vent is not stopped up. If I take fuel hose off before fuel pump I get good flow. If I take fuel hose off after pump I also get good flow. But while I am mowing the fuel filter will have less and less fuel until the mower starves...

Was wondering how to tell the age of an older Stihl chainsaw.

Lot of you guys seem to be real knowledgeable on small engines. I have been doing small engine repair for about 3 years now. Lawn mowers and other 4 cycle engines don't give me a problem. But weed eaters and chainsaws...... I can fix most but end up wasting a lot of time on them. They almost...

Am looking for a crankcase for a jonsered 2094. Used preferably.

Am needing to do a leak down test and was wondering what type of set ups do y'all use?

I have a 044 that starts and runs great but only full speed. When I press the trigger it will throttle down not bog down. If I try to let it idle it runs full speed for about 15 seconds and dies. I have tried adjusting the high and low idle with no change. I installed a carb kit and cleaned with...

2005 Cub lawn tractor has too steep of an angle on the deck belt. Belt has been replaced 3 times in past few weeks. Any fix? I read where this has been a problem on them.

I need some suggestions. I do some repairs on my off days for customers. I have yet to find what my best option would be to order parts to have a faster turnover not being a dealer.

I have moved into a new house and was trying to determine what was in my flower beds. I want to make sure I take appropriate care of them. I need help finding out what kind of tree this is.

I have a Murray with an opposed twin cylinder Briggs. It runs pretty good but when I get in tall grass it does not idle up. I mow at full throttle but it is like the governor never kicks in. I have adjusted the gov but still same result. What could I be looking for?
