I wouldn't advise that. But hey, if you do, be sure to record your reaction. And the eye doctors reaction when you tell him how you went blind. J/J.. If you got a 13 or better, you're good.

I'm within 50 miles. I may take a trip over there. I got some eclipse glasses, just incase. The weirdo's are coming out in full force. Some of the online video's of these people are off the chain.

Nice work, man.

Not mower related. But still relatable for us. CLIENT – How much will it cost to do this job? CONTRACTOR - $2,800 dollars. CLIENT – That’s too expensive for this job! CONTRACTOR – How much do you think it should cost? CLIENT – $800 max! It’s a simple job! CONTRACTOR – I can’t do the job for so...

Anyone recognize something in this picture?

I've got a few pieces of equipment I might give this a try on.

Well then. You need to step it up, man. Loafing all day won't get you caught up. :p:p:p

I almost posted this on your Gardner thread. But I think these were things Americans were exporting. I'm glad to see we're actually exporting stuff. Although, these may be empties, going to be reloaded.

I'd love to get something like this, and charge them about $500 to put everything back together. And when asked what was wrong, tell them "Oh it just needed a spark plug," or something simple and external. Then snap a quick pic of the look on their face.

Makes sense. To skip to the important part, skip to the 2:00 mark

It's all good. And you're right. It was confusing, because Greentree is saying this product is 8.40in tall and 7.35in wide. This engine is a 2012, I think. So Briggs hasn't been right in a while. I don't remember seeing a model number stamped on that carb mounting plate either. But then...

I told you, it's stamped on the plate that holds the carburetor.

I looked at several places and kept coming up with that same part number (595660). And i can't remember ever getting any bad info from Greentree. So when they listed this as being over 8", I was stumped. Trying to remember if I'd ever seen one of these covers (with the primer hole) being...

9P 602 0019 F1 is the model #. The engine model number I found is 9P 602 0019 F1. It's stamped onto the plate beside the carb (facing the front of the mower). I got the right picture of the air filter cover. Just found it strange that they have the dimensions listed way wrong on the...

Is the primer model. But even those aren't 8"

No where else does it list this cover as being over 8".

I'm a dummy. I forgot they still stamped the engine model number on that plate on the side of the carb.

Greentree is saying this product is 8.40in tall and 7.35in wide. I've never seen one that tall, with the big primer hole. I don't have the model number, because the QR code doesn't work. It's only got a serial number 12 0410 54 72598. 140cc 550 EX(I think)

I don't want to headaches. That's why I'm single and not dating.

There's no need in getting rude about it. :D

It's probably a good practice to take in at least $30 for diagnostic fee for everything. Even 2cycle stuff. That pays for the tech to do initial checks, like compression, spark and fuel flow. Obviously, it doesn't take more than about 10 minutes to check those things. If the equipment has...

When the bolt dropped, they probably didn't even look down in the carb?

I use a hammer and an old long socket.

And if you forget to write it down? :D:p (asking for a friend)

My problem is I never bothered reading the sizes after I buy them. And when I go to install new ones, I just match the old with the new and carry on.

I still have a pair of my brothers pliers in that safe place. He keeps asking about them and I keep telling him, "They're put up." I just don't remember where.

What sizes are the most common? 3/32" ID 3/16" & what?

Just trying help you through these hard times, man. You're welcome. :p

I happened on a box of Stens 2c fuel lines (115-512 True Blue) that I know can't be much more than 2yrs old. Probably 1 yr, now that I think about it. They've been under something else, so I didn't see them. None the less, I opened the box and they're hard already. I'm pretty sure they...

It all depends on the customer for me. If it's a new customer, and their "throw away" is within a year or two, I'll put a little effort into it. But they know it won't be much. I'll throw on a new plug, filter & lines. If the carb is bad, I'll put on a new Amazon carb. But I'm not going to...

Pretty good episode.

Sounds like you just need some of this.

Check out post 582 of this thread. It's what gave me the idea.

I'm thinking it's two pieces. Or the thread are gone.

That vent tube is always flooding. I adjusted the float height once, and it did fine for 1 mowing. I'll adjust it some more now the mower is down, waiting on the new fan.

I'm going to blame this on age and a memory lapse. I remember what happened to it now. Last summer, the vent hose that was connected to the top of the carburetor got pulled off when mulching leaves. The carb flooded and dripped onto the exhaust pipe and ignited. I was close to a water hose...

This fan can't blow onto the heads.

FD501V-CS00 E/No FD501V061146 For some reason, this fan (just below the radiator) had one fin that had dropped down, like it got hot. And was rubbing on the fan shroud. All the others were fine. No drooping at all. So I heated it up and bent it back up, so it wouldn't hit. Question is, is...

I get that, for sure. Can't have a predictor eating your food supply.

Yes. Once my dog got after a possum. Slung it around like a rag doll. I finally the dog off it, and had my son take the dog into the house. The smell wasn't pleasant at all.

I don't have any chickens. And I don't plan on putting my finger in it's mouth. And I'm NOT going to get a skunk. My cat would end up smelling up the house. Possums eat their weight in tics, fleas and other bugs. Including those german roaches you find in the woods. (that if they ever...

A little ditty about Carter Carburetor. Short, but interesting read.

For starters, I know they're supposed to be called "O possums." But it's 2024 in the US. I think we can get passed all that. :p So I caught this possum limping around on my back porch a couple of weeks ago. When I say limping, that's exactly what she was doing. Something is wrong with her...
