I got it! First pull; it runs great. I think it was the bowl mounting screw. I’ve cleaned several times, but this time I ran a torch cleaning tool through it. Even though I soaked it in parts cleaner and sprayed it and blew it out before, I still got some dirt out of it. I also suspected the...

I’m currently cleaning the carb again. It was very dirty when I started, but I’ve cleaned multiple times now.

You don’t happen to know what the main jet size is, do you?

Yes, that was the condition before I put in the new valve seat, but it currently sits level.

I might try opening up the main jet. The plastic intake was cracked. I snapped it off the rest of the way and epoxied it back together.

Yes and yes

Hello, I’ve searched, but haven’t found a similar problem to what I’m having. I picked up a Craftsman Easy Start 917.378890 with a B&S 6.25 hp: these are the numbers I found on it 123K05-0344-E1. It didn’t run, so this is what I’ve done. Cleaned gas tank, new plug and air filter, cleaned carb...

I get a blue to orange spark on a gap tester set at .03”. Ohm meter reads .7 on the coil.

It is an INTEK I/C 206 6.5 hp B&S 120412-0111-E1 I checked out the flywheel today. The key’s in place.

The tiller has a fuel shut off. When I raise the float, the fuel stops . When I drop it ,it flows. Even so, I tried a new carb. I think I can eliminate the carb.

I inherited a Craftsman rototiller. It ran rough and oil was coming out the OHV cover. I cleaned it up, cleaned the piston head, seated the valves, and put new seals and gaskets in. It ran great. I put it away for the winter. This spring I put new fuel and a little Sea Foam in, and tilled up my...
