Hi all, I have a john deere S130 riding mower. I am in need of a cover for the mower that will not only fit the mower but will cover the bag assembly as well? All of the covers i see online only show covers which protect the mower...not the bag assembly. I was able to find "one" cover but of...

so i was just reading........this 2 cycle engine may not have valves so i guess i am back to the drawing board on this one.......i am not sure what to do to figure out why this thing wont start. i checked spark using one of those spark checkers and the light comes on.....so i am assuming i...

in looking at the Craftsman backpack blower (Model number 316.794790) ....does this thing even have valves? If so i cant find them..........

if we assume it is low.........and we assume that the valves need adjusting.......what on earth would i adjust them too?

Hi all, well, its been a while since i have had time to work on this blower. I ordered a carb rebuild kit and well this did not seem to help..........so i then ordered a compression tester to see if the compression was ok. i am enclosing pics of what i measured which was ~ 65 psi......see...

thanks

I hear what your both saying. My interest in the "manufacturer" is that i thought generac might be adding on to the price and if i could find out who makes the carb maybe i could get it from them or find a replacement made by same manufacturer. Sounds like this approach is not a good one...

Thanks. I see the part number "0K10430120" so thanks!!!!!!!!!!! But how does one know "what company made the carburetor"? is there a way to find out?

I am enclosing a pic of my carb. Any idea on how to identify the company that makes it? Do you think this carb would work? A neighbor suggested this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HMSC1W8/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_QSP77YJBKNE638VG82Y2_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have a Generac Model= 060242 Power Washer and it had carb issues. I cleaned the carb and it actually helped out a lot it did not need to be chocked to run. However, after changing the oil and then the next morning i noticed that the oil smelled like gas. I think i found the problem with the...

sorry for not replying sooner.........been sick with covid...actually still kinda sick. i just did not want you guys to think i had stopped reading or gave up on this blower......

i am in no rush or anything using this as a learning exercise really. so i was thinking of ordering a carb kit and trying this out. but i kinda wondering if this is really going to work. when i took the carb apart the pieces looked ok to me.......the diaphragms looked ok....(as far as i could...

i put the carburetor back together with the correct ordering of parts....... I put a little gas/oil mixture in where the sparkplug goes and then put spark plug back It ran for maybe 2 or 3 sec....but longer than before where it "tried" to run.....so i guess its progress. I dont have much fuel in...

FYI: i think i mentioned in the first post that i got this from my neighbor...well neighbor down the street. A few days after i started this post i saw my neighbor and he asked how it was going with the blower. i said nothing new yet........i asked him if he had done anything to figure out...

thanks. this is kinda what i thought after viewing the diagram you sent. i will reverse the two and let you know if it starts or any change at all.
