Who's the idiot? Like I said in the original post: "On the intake side of carb - it has two 7/16" nuts. Was able to remove both of nuts and remove the intake elbow. Now I'm left with the carburetor studs which go all the way through carb into the intake manifold."

Got them off. Thanks for the input.

Replacing a carb on my neighbors Troy-Bilt riding mower. It has a B&S 15hp single cylinder engine. On the intake side of carb - it has two 7/16" nuts. Was able to remove both of nuts and remove the intake elbow. Now I'm left with the carberator studs which go all the way through carb into...

Update: Still waiting on the nut for the starter shaft. Manufacturer delay but should arrive later next week. I may go to a local fastener place and see if they can match up something to get me going. I don't think there is anything special about the part that I can't use another matching...

Good idea. I will give that a shot when the parts arrive. Thanks

I noticed that the parts diagram shows no lock nut. So would I just tighten down and use some blue Loctite???

Thanks. I looked up the parts diagram from JSE. Showing Part #922107040 for NUT,5/16 24. Will also check locally to see if anyone has the part.

At the end of the Fall season I use seafoam @ 1oz per gallon and early Spring @ .5oz per gallon. Even with using e10 in the past for years I never had an carb issue since. My Toro was in storage for a year + and when I got it out it was running like crap. Threw in some seafoam and rode around...

OK - the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. NOTE exhibit A: 1. When engine would not start, I tested the battery first. Noticed a "SPRING" (far left in pic) wedged up under engine. Didn't ring a bell at the time. 2. When I took off rear panel on skid steer to get better access, I...

Problem I'm running into is access is very-very limited. I will see what I can do.

Pulled both plugs and it would not turn over. Checked solenoid and ignition switch with a test light. Will see what voltage I get when I get another pair of hands. So that leaves me thinking if it's something simple -- maybe it could be starter? If not, possibly valve issues or major break...

So I have a the FS691V on a mini skid steer with 125 hours. Ran fine - no starting issues - until this past weekend. Fired it up and rolled out the garage. Got a scoop of dirt. After unloading the dirt I restarted the engine and moved it over to the shade and parked it. Went to fire it up...

So what was the outcome of this? Did you get it fixed? I have about the same issue that I will need to start a thread on.
