thats interesting... ill have to look for that, my only question being... why would the carb off a good running v twin act exactly the same

ok, i fixed one problem, over rich belching black smoke,,, now, i have an annoying surge...rpm rolls up and down, tried another nikki carb off my craftsman, whcih did not surge... same problem... i have adjusted governor, and checked linkages...could the springs be out of whack? i give up...help?

Great, i closed up those holes in the transfer tube... not, it starts and runs clean.. but now i have picked up a 1/2 throttle surge... now what? i have set , and reset governor ,,,, could the governor spring be weak? this engine sat idle for quite a few years

THAT was just my thought, i also have a Nikki carb on my DLT 25hp v twin. that particular carb has the white fuel transfer tube with 2 individual jets. i have some #9 shot in my reloading room, im going to plug those 2 passages and try it! thanks for the input

also, the gasket under the venturi is fine... checked that tonight...

i recently upgraded a troy bilt rider with a knocking 18hp Intek...with a strong & quiet 20hp v twin. it is belching black smoke, after a carb teardown and immersed in my ultrasonic cleaner for 2 cycles... i have found clogged passages in the upper main body before, but this one is spotless. i...

but, even now it seems i have strayed from the original problem in your post... "awful banging" noise... sounds internal for sure...

i was ready to pull the head, but my leakdown tester showed no leaks thru valves.. OR thru the oil fill tube. so i was certain valves & rings were ok. well, the only way to get "compression",,,, is there has to be a volume of air for the piston to 'compress"....you cant obtain that volume, if...

glad i could point you in right direction... id be very curious to know how it turns out

i just replaced a timing gear on crankshaft on a smaller 675 series briggs... had spark, key was ok... cam was out of time,,, just an idea

guess the pic didnt attach

i am really getting frustrated locating parts to recondition this not so bad Sabre i acquired. does anyone have a GOOD source for parts they have used repeatedly. i refuse to go to JD and pay their ridiculously high prices! i thought i would add a pic of the service tag, as NO parts sites i...

yes i am about to tear this apart, i have 2 Broadmoors with tuff torq's in them. as a retired mechanic with 20 yrs worth of rebuilding automatic transmissions, im not 'afraid ' to tear into it, it's more being afraid of needing parts, that are obsolete...or way out of my social security income...

thanks, thats what i was wondering.

tks for your reply, but my question was... the silver dollar size filter you mention, was that the screen in the fill port...or the filter under the pump inlet???

i'm curious, the filter you mention, was that the screen in the fill port? or under the pump housing?? i have a Broadmoor that wont climb inclines when warmed up

ok thanks for the info, i can manually pull it down to idle, or , use a spring to pull it back...ill check that and let you know!!

thanks for the info, i did not realize there was a bushing to be replaced! i will look into that as soon as time allows me to.

I actually DID do just that, with no change... when it fires, it revs out of control. i have a parts engine,i am pretty sure the gov gear is toast... i just need time to tear the 2 down. but ty for the info!!

i just want to mention, i am not one to believe a "small leak" is an acceptable one, i have plenty of 8-10 hp engines that leak Zero oil...i need to address this before i use it, or sell it.

that IS funny, small world it seems..

i will take a video and see if i can attach it here

i had an idea how to add an o ring by drilling a recess in crankcase.., but it would require disassembly anyway, so, if im gonna do that... may as well replace worn parts...

yes its quite loose... ive never seen one this loose. maybe it was a poor casting?

yes, i have in fact checked the breather for clogs, and drained and refilled crankcase right to top of threads... its a mystery how the oil can be "climbing" that high and running out...im going to do a leak down test on it, to make sure blowby isnt over pressurizing crankcase..ill post results

much appreciated, but im 4 1/2 hrs away from you...

at this point , i am thinking i need to split engine / generator and replace worn gov shaft and crankcase. the engine runs great, gen makes power. i realize there is no seal, or o-ring... and the shaft needs to swing freely. any ideas? am i on the right track replacing worn out crank case half...

i could sure use that engine on another tractor i have here... i have already replaced the engine on the Sabre... how much for the engine itself?

Update on the broken ex valve. when i finally went to put this head together, THIS popped into view. should have done a closer inspection BEFORE ordering parts. that cost could have went toward a good used head. oh well, never too old to learn! not sure if this happened when valve dropped, or if...

yep, it straightened my 'bent; mind out...tks again

thank you, much appreciated

i have accumulated a certain amount of wiring knowhow over the years on tractors and lawnmowers... one question, my 15.5hp Briggs has TWO harnesses coming out by starter. one w/red/blk ... the other (not sure of wire color) i get that one black wire is more than likely the kill wire, and the...

thank you, thats my next step. on back burner for now..will re post after i tear it down

thanks for pointing me in right direction, i dont get lost often, but when i do, i do it right!

model # 445777 type 0129 code 000614YG

i just added them to my post, thanks

i forgot to list model and code of the engine... model # 445777 type 0129 code 000614YG

I cannot believe i messed this up. i recently acquired a DLT craftsman with 25 hp v twin. it had been sitting idle with no exhaust pushrods ( someone borrowed them) for about 3 yrs. i removed and carefully cleaned the carb just to be safe... set valve clearances and fired it up... it sounded...

i recently acquired a sabre 14/38 . nice little machine.. the previous owner told me the valve dropped while he was trying to start it , i have to agree, no damage to piston, cylinder or head... the broken stem was jammed right into center of spark plug, how lucky was that? my question is, there...

the model number on the frame says 1693840

wow, thats awesome!!! thank you so much for that. i will save this to my docs folder. i just purchased one in nice shape.

i believe you are right sir

it was prolly assembled by a 13 yr old Chinese kid on an assembly line...

i recently bought a carb from Amazon, as soon as i turned the fuel valve on...gas was flooding everywhere. i pulled the bowl off to check float... float laid in bottom of bowl, no hinge pin was there... great

why is it so difficult to find a wiring diagram for a Sabre??? GX1642B011800 any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated... thanks

i disassemble the mandrels, wash out any dirt grease etc, then i drill and tap for 1/4 x 28 grease fitting. clean the chips out... THEN, remove the seals from bearings that face toward inside of mandrel. rinse the bearings out, then re-assemble. i also drill a 1/16 weep hole at the top of...

the model number on the frame says 1693840... i also have an update. i replaced the drive belt, it was really worn, and had oil on it. (need to find and fix the leak). i tried it out on that same 45 degree incline... went about halfway up that time...improvement, but not finished. i dumped...

hello again, i never got a response on a previous post, i have an older simplicity broadmoor, when i get to an inline, it slows down and groans, regardless of engine speed or drive speed lever position. i drained and refilled hydro with my ford tractor hyd fluid...could it be too thin? how...
