Any chance of getting the model number of the Walbro carb. It looks to be the one. Amazon has some maybe knockoffs though

Thanks. Once we changed out the oil and fired it up again it ran perfect with no smoke at all. So I am confident everything else is fine. It is resolving the fuel free flowing through the carb.

Thanks for the reply on this. Hopefully this will help. 17 hp Briggs and Stratton. Crown series model 311777 type 0164-E1 code 010226ZE

My neighbour asked me for some help with his mower. It was smoking real bad would barely run. Then It started spitting oil out. Turns out gas flowed into the crankcase Through the breather tube And overfilled it. I am looking for a new carb for it, dealer says they are discontinued. It is an...

My wife and I are moving to a new house and Province in Canada. Our new yard is 88’x200’. Mostly grass. Wondering if I should do ride on or go with a good self propelled mower. Kind of too big for a walk behind and to small for a ride on. Could do a 30” rider or 42”

I have been cursing my mower for awhile now, I just bought it last year. It is a craftsman professional model made by Husqvarna. I could never get the bag to fill and it was really peeing me off. Today I decided to flip the blade and low and behold it completely filled the bag instead of it...

Does anybody do brush mowing with a walkbehind brush mower, is it worth getting one. I am not sure if it would work where I live but you never know until you try.

Who makes the fastest self propelled walk behind? I am looking at a mower that claims to go just under 5 mph (7.7 kph). I tried a Toro personal pace mower and almost had to run after it at top speed, which is what i want. I have found mowers that go around 3 mph are too slow for me.

This looks like a new mower from Toro, 30" wide twin blade. Toro | Timemaster

Who makes Craftsman walk behind mowers? I have read it is either Husqvarna or MTD.

Got my mind set on a new mower but just wondering what the benefits to font or rear wheel drive in a walk behind?

Going out to help out a friend of a friend with their new mower. As the title says it is a TRoybilt zero turn, they bought a bagger attachment for it. The problem they are having is that the clippings won't go into the bagger. The bagger came with a set of blades, do these need to go on the...

What is the best way to rid flower beds of weeds? I have been working at a friends house, the flower beds have been very neglected for a number of years. I have pulled weeds and weeds and weeds. Chickweed is taking over now. I have raked and stirred the chickweed back into the soil as it is too...
