Just needed to rotate the breather tube. Thx for all the help. Once I realized it was threaded on the end made a bit more sense. Probably could use a little loctite or sonething but probably only need to do several more mows this season sonething to keep in mind for the spring tuneup.

Those tubes are threaded on the end? If so, that sounds promising maybe it’s gotten loose after years of vibrations. If not, then I guess I'll back the tank/carb off and try to slide that boot back on but I think it is positioned too low at the moment but maybe twisting it will rotate it so the...

It’s a Murray 10A902 2291 B1 22" Push with what appears to be the model 90000 or 100000 engine not sure how to tell the difference. Where could I find the engine numbers?

Hey, changed the oil on my mower today, and when I tipped it back down after draining the oil and refilling noticed that the breather/vacuum tube was disconnected from the carbs rubber grommet and doesn’t seem to want to connect. It doesn’t appear that if I unbolt the fuel tank and back it off...

Just had the governor springs on backwards. Runs really nice now, throttle not stuck wide open anymore.

Yea, Section 5, pg 5, no. 4&5 is generally what I’m referring to. Thx for your help.

Seems like someone bent a tab down so you can’t move the governor switch thing from fast to slow. Should I leave that as is and bend back the tab a bit that holds the small spring to give a bit more slack or bend up the tab that is preventing the governor switch from moving back and forth and...

Hmmm, debating whether or not I want to put more loot into this thing and get a tach. I'll have to start it again tomorrow and see what’s up with that governor lever thing and what happens if I move it. Just want to mow my damn lawn already but it’s been storming and in the high 80s so probably...

I see. Looks like that lever is pulled out. I’ll have to check again. How can you tell if your RPMs are too high without fancy equipment?

Ok fellaz. Replaced the diaphragm/gasket, cleaned the carb and gas tank up real sparkly and it started up first pull although smoked out and died and then started up second pull and maintained. Now, I don't know when this thing was tuned up last so I've probably been using it running like crap...

If the diaphragm and more carb cleaning doesn't fix this, is there a better way to check where I might have an air leak other than throwing more parts at the thing like spraying everything with soapy water and pressing the primer bulb or something? Feel like I'm just making best guesses here.

Those are still there. I took them out and cleaned them and put them back. The o ring seemed fine but who knows. Guess after i replace the diaphragm i’ll see if something else needs replacing. I have some o ring lubricant stuff from my homebrew gear maybe i will put a little of that on it.

Thx. Ordered from the amazon and waiting. Was hoping I could have cobbled it back together to get it running today but guess I’ll just be patient. It’s a 22” push model 10A902 2291 B1 with a model 90000 engine not sure how to tell what series but probably just classic 450 all the stickers are...

Hey, I've got an old murray pushmower with the classic briggs engine and the fuel tank with the plastic carb on top and the pulsa primer button thing. Last time I had an issue with the primer not sucking in fuel there was a small hole in the primer bulb which I replaced so this time I am having...
