Maybe this will help. Does your seat have bumper on it? My problem was similar, everything checked good, changed this, new that, nothing worked. Back to my seat, "it had bumpers maybe not the right definition" bumpers were very deuterated. Replaced them because they needed replaced. After...

As soon as the machine comes back will be taking the tank off incase there is gel in the bottom that is hard to see looking in and if there is a leak in the siphon pipe. I will post the results. The posts led me to a conclusion that is very viable. Thank you everyone for the input.

Nothing wrong with the filter, Purchased a new pump incase the new one installed is a dud. Think I will pull the metal pick-up tube and inspect that. Just might have a crack at the very top where connected. Thank you.

Engine stops running after the filter drains. As long as the filter has fuel engine will run. Nothing wrong with the filter. For some reason the pump does not pump fuel . I am asking more about the impulse pressure. Would there be a reason the impulse is weak, coming off the valve cover. The...

A guess, that bolt is used to adjust the tilt of the deck for better cutting.

I'll throw in a guess, that bolt is used to adjust the tilt of the deck for better cutting.

Problem, fuel filter keeps draining leaving air bubble then engine will not run properly . It will run but the filter will not get full having a good supply for the pump. Fill the filter and motor runs as it should. New pump, fuel hoses, filter. Engine can set with a full filter as soon as you...

Use the old jet if it comes out into the new carb. If a new carb sometimes the main jet needs drilling. I'll bet if you really clean the old carb it will work fine. Find the size of the old jet by inserting micro drills until you find a "go, no go". size.

I do not see anything in the diagram that looks like this bolt. What number of the part you are referring to?

Thank you, never saw a carb like this one, easy enough to check. Unlike other carbs, the jets are dry even though the bowl is full . Thanks again.

Looking for carburetor information, Float level and one external adjustment. Does this adjustment adjust the fuel or air. I have it running but runs a little rough at slower speed, runs good at higher speed but seams to be lean running. Pull the choke out it does run better at high speed. Both...

I would suggest your losing lift with those blades. I can not prove that. Only thing I can say is check the front edge is lower then the back 3/8". Looks like the deck needs welding repair.

Has anyone mentioned the middle blade should be longer. I have a Snapper zero turn, cutting high weeds "dandelions" mostly, making the return cut darn near all the D's were still standing. Finally called factory, they said the mower deck needs to be 3/8" lower in the front. That fixed the problem.

I look at longevity possibilities, the easy to work on machines seem to be the better built. Are parts available. A determination is hard to make. Cause, owners do not maintain their machines properly.

Might also be something wrong with the pull cord , I know sounds crazy.

Have the same problem with a 2 stroke. Determined that wear from the piston TDC is cocking the piston locking it up. Suggested fix for the 2 stroke is add a thicker gasket on the base to offset the piston in a different spot at TDC. Have not tryed it yet.

Take a micrometer and measure each jet see if a slight difference. Maybe you can't remove the jets?

Not sure of the science behind it but, I have this Snapper, every time mowing dandelions or tall weeds I would look back and they were never touched at least a lot of them. Plagued me for a long time finally called the company and they advised me to lower the front of the deck and it worked.

The front of the deck should be lower then the front by turning the adjustment screws in the front each side the same amount. 3/8 lower then the back on level floor.

Looks like it should fit, are you grinding the side off a little? Right corner?

All 2 cycle engines should use 89 octane or better. Saw a collapsed piston from using 87 octane.

I would guess the bead has been stretched at some position and just keeps creeping until it slips off the rim.

Buy a new filter.

Maybe to late for this, Keyway on the Koler should be able to fix by tig welding the chipped area. I have had success with shaft keyways, If you try, a must is to heat the shaft before welding if you do not heat the shaft it could bend. Anyone that wants more detail let me know, glad to share.

Check where the old ones are turned in for a rebate and see how many hours are on them. Some say they like to turn them in around 1500 hours.

Looks like an exhaust gasket is bad.

30deg edge will last longer, a 45deg. will slice better. Take an axe and try each angle see how each cuts. New blades come with a blunt edge I think for safety reasons.

Have seen new blades without the fine sharp edge, which does not last long at all. Maybe so the new owner does not cut hands when putting them on. Would you know the reason?

Good info, knew they were there to make money, the timing of the skit I did not know, very informative and yes Taryl is very good.

Try some engine starter, I find some of these engines have to be woken up, is the gas valve turned on?

Did not read all the responses, had a similar problem , Tiny O rings on the main jet could be the problem idling.

At times I use colored paints especially on springs where they hook up.

They are great pictures.

See if the governor springs are broke, rusty, or disconnected, and loose governor arm.

If not fixed, Some of the carbs need the main jet cleaned with carburetor jetting drill bits. Or check the valve clearance.

Have not read all reply's, my experience with Stihl was the gas line is made special at least for an old chain saw.

Have a question I didn't see asked, How does the crank turn over with not pistons hooked up? Did you use slandered or over size rings? very intriguing problem. Hope I don't miss the answer

Had Gen. the filter screen was eaten away clogging the shut off valve, also had carb. problems. Was not run for 12 years.

I buy all my paint for touch up from Home Depo or Lowes $6 to 7 a can.

As above "Star Tech" had same problem, replaced o'ring runs great. They are very small mine was cracked.

Had a blower same thing, put a new spark plug in 2 pulls runs great.

Ever thing above sounds right. Chains must be tight they must over lap the inside wall tighten the adjusters. After that this is what I put on Mine on the outside of the tire, elastic cord from a parashot cord dealer tie and stretch cord tie to opposite side use about six of them. Chains been on...

Right, it does not stop vaporization, from what I read it keeps air from entering the tank that holds moisture from collecting in the alcohol that keeps it from gelling. Can give a 2 year protection. Have worked on generators that haven't run since the storm Sandy 10-12 years ago what a mess...

Yes there are many things. Worn throttle and choke shafts have never so far ran into that problem.

Most carb. problems can be solved using Fuel Stabilizer. Not one customer came back after sub jesting it and I know it was not for sure what I charged to do the work.

Another carb problem came about fixing a customers machine, under those metal plugs inside the carb are fuel channels some with a ball bearing check valve can get plugged from setting to long. If you want to trouble shoot and see the problems use a fine tooth comb to find them.

This is something happened to me. Toro wood chipper, Ran great end of season. Next time I ran it would not run without choking. Persistent to find the trouble on the third time taking apart the carb, on the main jet covering one of the small holes in the main jet there was s peace of gasket...

Why did the crank break? assumed you hit something and now the key is offset on the fly wheel. Replace the key.
