I've been looking for a new carburetor for my BS powered generator. Does anyone sell NOS carbs? All the ones I seem to find are chinese knock offs of dubious quality. The model number of the original carb is 690115 which superseded 690111. I wonder if any other BS carbs will work. A couple OEM's...

So I have a slight dilemma. Ever since this part broke I've been having issues with the drive belt failing early. This drive belt is the most difficult belt to replace. The guide keeps a long section of the belt from flopping around. I can't find the old guide. It probably got shot off into the...

The frame on my '96 Craftsman 50" riding mower had cracks develop in the frame several years ago. They are about midway between where the engine mounts on both frame rails. They started as small hairline cracks and grew slowly over time. I hadn't looked at them for over a year but I after...

I thought I had a bad battery so I bought a new battery. I nearly cooked it. It started OK but quit after a few seconds of running. The voltage dropped quickly and the battery started smoking. Both cables were super hot. There's something shorting out. Where to start checking? I've never had...

New problem. My engine goes dead soon after starting it. The 9 year old battery goes dead but will take a charge enough to start again but the engine dies quickly. I tried to take a voltage reading while running and the voltage drops quickly. I'm not familiar with the charging systems in these...

i finally got this thing running good but now it won't move. It's a Craftsman 50" with a 25 hp Kohler. I had an issue with the engine running out of control but that's fixed now. It has a hydrostatic drive and won't go forward nor reverse. The belt is running the way it should and appears to...

I got the head back yesterday and got it all back together today. It all started fine and idled good for a few minutes but when I increased the rpm's it all of the sudden went wide open throttle and I couldn't get it slow down. I had to choke it to slow it down. I checked the governor linkage...

I don't want some else's headache and I need something durable to handle mowing around 3 acres of lawn with bumpy terrain and some slopes. My current machine is a 1997 Craftsman 50" with a 25hp Kohler with a little over 600 hours. It has needed a lot repairs over the nearly 20 years of using it...

I have a 1997 Craftsman 50" riding mower with a Kohler Command CV25S 25 hp and it's burning oil bad enough to foul one of the plugs in less than an hour of mowing. It has just under 600 hours on the clock. Compression seems really good with just over 180 psi on the affected side and a little...
