Hammermech you need to repaint it Green and it should be fine

I have a Walbro carburetor. Only moving parts are the rubber flexible diaphragm which allows the needle valve to open and send fuel to the engine and the primer bulb which starts the fuel flow to the engine. Almost every small engine person on this web site has used a week eater or edger with...

You still don't understand . If I asked you what time is, then that's all I want- - the time. Your reply is telling me how to build a clock. Let me make this simple. I have a carburetor problem. That's all. The edger runs perfectly with starting fluid but not with gasoline. This is the...

JD D105. Just finished R & R the RT400 transmission to install a new secondary pulley. Mower wouldn't hardly move because the pully was frozen up. Wouldn't grab the belt to enable the axles to turn. Now, the mower runs and drives like it should but I can't get the cutting blades to engage...
