I was mowing the other day and my drive belt kicked off and melted my trans fan off. I bought a new fan and belt. I'm having a bear getting the new belt on. I now got it on but it seems oftly tight. I put an MTD genuine 954-04165 on. It seems like the clutch pedal won't be doing anything. When I...

This is the carburetor that is on it. How do I turn those adjusting screws?

I have a Ryobi leaf blower. It can be kind of hard to start. You have to gas and pull at the same time. Then once it is running it needs to be left at wide open throttle and 1/2 choke. if you take the choke off, it will die on you. I was going to take the carb apart and clean it. What do you...

I have a 3.5hp Briggs on a Snapper. I checked and it was getting no spark. I cleaned the contacts on the magneto and flywheel and still nothing. How should I check to see if the "Kill Switch" is grounded out? Before I go buying a new magneto. I don't know where it is. Engine s/n...

I just acquired this Snapper V21. It has a Briggs 3.5hp on it. I'm not sure of the year, where can I look find the year? The motor was locked up solid, but some Seafoam Deep Creep penetrant has it loosened up. I will go through the carburetor sometime this week hoping to have it running soon. I...
