I've had no real luck finding another carburetor, at least not for a seemingly reasonable price. I needed to remove the carburetor I have because of a stuck float needle. It was overfilling the bowl and leaking really bad. I took it apart and gave it a good cleaning and then thoroughly blowing...

I'll add that carb to my searches. I was thinking there had to be other carbs that would work. It's just like there are a lot of carb options for a Chevy small block.

You've been awesome with your efforts StarTech!

I saw that carb in my searches but I found a 690115 for about $25 less with shipping. I'm waiting for photos. I'm also cross referencing some other numbers.

I think I may have found a cross reference for the carb. It looks like it's an LMT 203 WALBRO 5-4993 Carburetor. Those look like they are still available.

It seems the shafts are fine on mine but I can't fully open the choke without running issues.

Yes, I gathered that by the Google searches yielding descriptions with "out of stock". Even eBay searches rarely yield any useful results. This is a great generator that's been crippled by bad carb. There's a lot of BS carbs that look the same but I bet the jetting might not be compatible.

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 The model number of the original carb is 690115 which superseded 690111.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...

I installed the keeper while I replaced the drive belt. The only practical way to replace the belt is remove the mower deck and raise the tractor completely vertical. It's otherwise a very tedious job to do from underneath.

From what I know, a reel type mower is best for St. Augustine. Also you need to make sure you don't cut it too short. My dad had a McLane reel mower and it was excellent. Unfortunately they would be way above your price range unless you find a good used one.

I've been waiting for the part for about two months and heard nothing. I wrote to them and they wrote back it wouldn't be until November before they could get one. I just found a used one on eBay. I bought it. I can't really run the tractor without it. I ruined the drive belt without it and...

The angle iron would have been the ideal repair but it would have been more difficult to find the size I needed. I wanted to do it on the cheap. The two pieces of steel I used look like it's still holding up fine. Sure it would have been even better welding them but there isn't too much stress...

I decided to try one of the search results without a photo of the part. I carefully cross referenced the descriptions along with any common part numbers. I ordered from Mowpart,com. I've never done business with them before. Maybe somebody here has?

I tried that plus a few other numbers.

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...
