Thanks for all of the replies. I have some pictures showing the carburetor and the engine. Just to clarify, the model is an B48M-GA018/3417A. Serial #: M783372445 It appears the be a Marvel Schebler Carburetor based on where the idle jet and high rpm jet screws are located. Are these...

I have been working on a '78 Onan B48M opposed twin cylinder engine. The engine runs fine when I pour gas down the carburetor. However, when I feed gas through the fuel line, it leaks out the bottom of the fuel pump, which is connected directly on the carburetor. I suspect that the gaskets in...

I removed a 4.5 HP Tecumseh 2-stroke HSK845 engine from an MTD snowblower and wanted to use it for a mini bike project. I am well aware that the motor mounts for those engines are off to the side and have already had that figured out. The carburetors on these engines is very similar to most...

I had recently acquired a John Deere Sabre that had a blown 20 HP Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine. Good engine if it didn't throw the connecting rod out the side of the block. Anyway, I wanted to attempt rebuilding it from other existing parts I had from other Vanguard engines. I replaced...

I've been repairing engines for quite awhile now. I've seen the older engines come and go and new designs take their place in the market. Many Briggs and Stratton engines used to have Walbro carburetors on them. I like them because most of the were adjustable and they weren't nearly as finicky...

When I bought it, the guy said that it had low compression and it smoked because it had so many hours on the engine. But it was in exceptionally good condition with a...

I have a walk behind leaf vacuum that I use every year to suck up leave in the Fall. It has a 6 HP Briggs and Stratton Quantum engine that has taken a licking and still keeps kicking. Although the engine works, I have to repeatedly take out the air filter after each day of sucking up leaves and...

I have a Kawasaki FC540V engine on my John Deere 265 Garden Tractor. Overall the engine is in good condition, but it really struggles to get started. I have to play with the choke and the throttle and sometimes spray starting fluid in the intake just to get it to run. When it is running, it runs...

I have just purchased a Briggs and Stratton 17 HP Intek from Craigslist that looks practically brand new. No scratches, no oil, no dirt, no nothing. It was as if it came right out of the box. Anyway, the guy I bought it from claimed that it did run but it smoked. I got it for really cheap so I...

I am looking for a snowblower attachment for my Toro Wheel Horse 520H. I would like to know I anyone knows what snowblower would be compatible with this unit and if anyone would be willing to sell it. I live in Maryland. Thank you.

I have a John Deere STX 38 Yellow Deck and I am currently looking for a snow blower attachment for it. I am struggling trying to find a snow blower made for it around my area. Are there other John Deere snow blower attachments that could be compatible with this tractor? If so, please let me...
