Sorry that some people just don't read the posters Posting !!!! If the carb,fuel lijnes, and filter are new sounds like it may be just an adjustment issue. It takes very little turning to adjust these small carbs but maybe you should check there first if it uses HI and Low needles check both...

I too am the type that would sooner repair than replace a complete machine if possible. I am 75 and getting off the floor isn't so bad, but I live with COPD, so I don't have the air as much as needed and is very hard to deal with when you have the gumsion but have to work so slow to get the jobs...

If it is using the NC switch as you said can I use a jumper wire across the terminals to do my testing of belts or pulleys? I have an automotive repair back round so I am aware of working around moving belts and pulleys. Believe me in my past I have seen guys do many crazy things around moving...

Thanks for the replies, I am almost sure I have the two-wire type switch as this is a 2002 LTX1000 Craftsman. Don't think I'll be checking on this today tho because it is only 4 above today. I'll check the switch with an om meter before a disconnect to make sure how it works. I'll agree the...

I was just wondering how people go about Keeping your tractor running when you are checking for problems if you can't leave the seat to keep safety switches in tacked ? The reason I'm asking is I am getting an odd noise from what sounds like belt or one of the pullies but can't tell for sure...

So I have the blower attachment for my Craftsman LTX1000 I was just wondering if anyone else may have noticed that it would be nice if you could lift the blower a little higher than it goes now. Seems to be only maybe 3 in. sometimes it would be nice if it would be a bit higher. Maybe someone...

How about if you got an older semi truck outside rear view mirror they were like 6-8ins wide but maybe 16-18in long. If you could set up some brackets to mount it side ways it would be wider than longer and give you a wide view behind you. Don't know how much you really need to see but may help...

Could just be the fuel filter if it has one. All my small engines have them in the tank mounted on the main fuel line. Just a thought before you go nuts chasing the problem. Good Luck I've been down this road a few times and sometimes its the easiest thing that causes a problem.

By what your discribing sounds like fuel line to me. You will have to replace them not a big deal once you can get at them. There is usually a main in line and maybe a return.

Just a guess but maybe broke a little carbon loose when you pulled the plug, maybe pull plug again and with it out pull the rope a few times to clear the cylinder a bit. Put the plug back in and see if the noise is gone. Just a wild guess had this happen a few times with car engines.

OK so can someone tell me why Star Tech has decided to leave this forum ? I've only been on here a short time but found that Star Tech was and is a big help to many posters looking for help including me. If we can't keep people with good information what happens than? Guess than were back to...

I did go thru the ebook site but still can't find any sites that offer the owners manual for this saw. I did find the parts manual for a saw that is close to this one and and got that but still working on the owners. Don't know why the 2.0 saw doesn't show up. I looked on the McCulloch site also...

So I just picked up this Eager Beaver 2.0 chain saw looks in good shape but will need to go thru it to be sure. Model 12-062333 Ser. 60012312 can't seem to come up with the repair or owners manuals. Just wondering if someone has an idea of where to download these. I tried many site but nothing...

You also may be able to find a good one used. Check with Craigs List or maybe even some of the bigger repair shops in your area. I'm sure one is out there in good shape just have to start looking.

Not only this site but two others that I am on and watch seems that so many people will ask for help help and many people will reply with ideas for repairs or help. Sometimes answers may be a bit off what they are looking for but the help is FREE and people are taking the time to give some help...

https://www.ereplacementparts.com/ Go to this site they have your spring !!

Good post for sure and brings up a good point. How often should we be changing out the deck belt under normal use? Seems that there is alot of questions on this site about tractors not cutting right and we all go to the blades or the deck for the problems but this opens the door for just a belt...

Was a Mechanic all my life ( not any more) so the wheel studs you got if the serrated collers are the right size the little extra length should not be a problem just make sure the thread size is the same, try one of the nuts to make sure. If for some reason they are to long you could just cut...

In reply to others that posted after my last post, It is a 42in deck and yes it is a challange to get a good cut but has been OK. I am cutting at 3in blade height because other wise I seem to get alot of burnt grass from the heat. I set this right at the blades as I know that the setting on the...

Just to get back to everyone that replayed and gave me some good information I just wanted to say THANKS !!! Many gave me good explenation as to why the cut looks like it does so won't worry about it.(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

No these were an exact part number replacement blade set and with them next to to other set they look the same.

I did check and for sure the blades were mounted correctly. Guess I just never noticed this before with my other sets of blades. Seems odd that they make the blades with the longer sharpened edges that don't do anything, seems that if the blades are turning all the edges should be cutting. If...

At this time I have cover on and am mulching. I only use discharge in the fall because of the leaves and than I use bagging till I get all the leaves cleaned up. But even if I was discharging why would the blades not seem to cut in some areas??

I have a Craftsman Model 917.272452 42in deck lawn tractor and at the beginning of the season I put on a new set of blades. I did notice after cutting the lawn sometimes didn't just look right to me but went thru all the normal things, check tire pressures, reset the deck, also reset the guide...

As for that second spring Star Tech is correct . I looked at my deck but don't have that spring because my tractor does not have the PTO clutch my is manual. The engagement cable is the same I think. I don't think it goes below the trans axle but above it.

The first picture is the engagement cable, it is first connected to a bracket with an oval the housing part of cable goes first than the oval washer on the other side and is secured with a clip. After that the spring is mounted to a post on the engagement lever and a washer and pin is also...

To me the threads look fine in that picture but looks like the hub or flange is what got broken. Also looks like the blade must have gotten loose because the pins for it seems to be sheered off. Not to say that there may be a broken bolt down a bit deeper in that hole that would have to be taken...

If the battery is really bad and doesn't have enough voltage to start the mower what makes you think it has enough to keep the clutch engaged? I know that automobile air cond. clutches need full voltage to stay in gaged so may be what is going on with the PTO clutch. Just my 2 cents worth.

All that clip does it ground out the plug wire to stop spark so you could use a screw driver to do the same thing just ground that plug wire and the motor will quit running.

justabanger Just wondering if you ever figured out what was causing your problem ? I was watching this but you never got back to this post to let anyone know. Just wondering. !!!!

I hope I can explain this correctly, if that area is flat behind where that bolt goes thru could you make a plate that would fit behind where it is broken and tap a hole in the plate than use a longer bolt to go thru the broken area and thread into the replacement plate. You would have to make...

By the look of that second picture you need to line up the cam marking with the crank Key Way so there may not be a marking.

OK So here I am again, this time I would like to say ThankYou to everyone that replyed to my question. I read all the replys and just used all the information to make a judgement as to how to go about my repairs but again Thank You all. Seems like this will be my go to site for questions about...

Just checking in to let everyone know that all the parts showed up and I got both of the carbs cleaned and installed rebuild kits in both. I did get the original carb reinstalled on the saw but didn't have time to try running it today. Will see what happens tomorrow. Will keep you posted. If the...

Yesterday well doing my grass cutting I lost the steering and found that one end of the drag link fell apart. After removing found the the ball socket on one end came apart ball came out of the link. So to get by for now I machined a small coller to go over the shaft and hold the ball fitting in...

The one from the UK is identical to mine but I am not going to spend that kind of money for it. bertsmoble1 you are correct Randy has helped we with the parts for my Mac 35 oiler system and I did get the new full carb kit from him.

Still waiting for parts but was looking on the Zama site and found a replacement carb number for the one I have C1-M2B but also listed as obsolete. So I searched that number and found one new in the UK for $59.00 plus $27.00 shipping guess that isn't going to happen as I'm not that flush with...

Would have been happy to buy a new carb but this carb is no longer available from Zama direct. This saw is just in such good shape I hate to thru it in the dump.

I get it for sure but this is not a new clone it is not a new carb but an OEM but was just removed from a saw and is being sold it is the same number as mine. I just asked the question in my last post what would be the best way to go with my carb problem. I also still have a OEM rebuild kit also...

Update and New Question, I was looking on E Bay and found a untested carb that is the one my saw uses so I purchased it for an offer price of $12.00 figured I couldn't go wrong. Now What would you guys do 1 rebuild again the one I have 2 rebuild the untested one I just bought or 3 just install...

I will give that a try when I get everything back together. On this saw it has t throttle hold that keeps the throttle open for starting but does not have a primer bulb wish it did as it would be a lot better to get fuel to the carb when it is empty. Am suppose to get the kit on tuesday so well...

First off there is no new carbs in this part number to replace the one I have but if they were I would have got one. And I agree oldlawnguy I am also not good at pulling the ropes anymore as I suffer from COPD so it doesn't take much to put me on hold till I can get my air going again. By...

So its been a while and guess there isn't anyone else with this leaning issue that they solved or just didn't care. With out pulling all the sheet metal it is had to see anything on the upper part of the frame. Maybe some day when I have no other things going on I'll think about that. Thanks

Back again just to let everyone know whats up. I removed the carb again and am going to order the rebuild OEM rebuild kit and redo the rebuild again. I will for sure do the clean up again just in case I missed something. Well keep you posted as to how this comes out and again Thanks for all the...

OK so I pulled the muffler and piston, cylinder walls all look like new. Before doing this I could start it with starting fluid but still would not run on its own fuel supply. I check the fuel cap and it is venting. So now I am thinking of just ordering the rebuild kit instead of just the...

I can pull the muffler and see what the bore looks like. Don't know how to check the crankcase seals. Still in the dark as to why I did get it running for a while but than the next morning it would not run again. If I can I will look into the exhaust check today. I did look into the intake side...

So heres the story, Got this saw as a no start saw is in like new condition so thought it would be worth getting it back to running condition. For sure it did not start so this is what I have done. Changed all fuel, fuel lines, filter, new plug replaced all carb internal gaskets and...

I had a chain saw that I was getting to run and found that the muffler was loose so took out the first bolt but when I went to the second sure enough the bolt was very tight and I heard the dreaded snap. I was a bit lucky because there was a 1/4in still sticking up but even using a bit of heat...

When I first looked at the frame I thought of that but there is sooooooooo many things attached to the frame almost from front to rear would be a real nite mare to try something like that. I may have to look again but sounds like a major undertaking to just add framing as you suggest.

Hi All, new to this forum and thought someone here may be able to help. My tractor seems to lean to one side, Check all tire pressures, checked height from frame to ground slightly off. I belong to a machinest site and asked this question and had a few answers but nothing that would fix the...
