I understand. I did try to find a complete list of members, but only found the page that shows the most active members, etc, etc, etc. A lot of the forums I have been on have a complete list of members that also shows when they signed up and the last time they were online. That gives a really...

I did just a quick search for fuel filters that can be cleaned as opposed to being replaced. I think the cheapest one I ran across was $27. That could buy quite a few replaceable filters. I'm sure the ones that are to be cleaned are relatively easy to clean, but can they be cleaned as well as a...

Ahh, yeah. My bad. I guess I was a little impatient. I'm used to computer forums where there are literally hundreds of people, all around the world, online at any one given time. I'm very aware of being a full time professional with few hours to spend online. I spent 30+ years in the computing...

OK, guys. Did I ask a question so stupid nobody will respond, or has my question just gone unnoticed. I'm really curious about this filter that the Aussie said I needed to "preferably clean". Are there now such filters in use versus the inexpensive, replaceable filters I'm accustomed to?

Yep. You hit the nail on the head. This was a post he put on a Linux forum I belong to. And yes, I believe he is in Australia. I've never used stones, rocks, or gravel, but I did use a handful of clean nuts and bolts to clean the inside of a metal gas tank for a Cub Cadet Model 73. We owned...

So. Jonsered is still being sold? Since they were bought by Husqvarna, I'm just going to assume that the new ones being sold are nowhere near the quality of the old ones. Is that a fair assumption? Ahhh, I just did a search and found this: Which came from here...

I probably shouldn't, but I'm going to post this for you guys to see. Then, I'm going to ask question. This is a response by someone on a completely different forum. Look closely at the sentence that begins with "I used to put a small". Then, my question. How many of you put sand in the fuel...

Yep. I agree. I had to laugh when I got these off brand, cheap mowers from folks that let them sit in the shed when they bought a new one. I'm not sure if any of these cheap things existed when I was doing small engine repair work before. If they did, I got lucky and never had one brought to me...

And the result will be mass production of cheaper, Chinese, or half Chinese, products that won't last more than a few years. When the production of any product is controlled by white shirts sitting in an office in Manhattan (or Beijing), the end result is a cheaper product in order to increase...

I believe every word based on what I have found so far. Thanks for the tip on the left hand thread. I probably would have done the same thing you did. I'd have gotten the 1/2" drive ratchet and put some grunt into it. LOL! I was told there is no such thing as a carb rebuild kit for this...

Hey, I forgot to mention. That link is to a place that has parts for Pulsar generators. There are no mower parts on that site, at least none that I could find. From what that gal at Pulsar told me, the generator division and the mower division are like night and day. She also said that the...

I've exchanged emails with them a few times now. They are located in Canada. The person I've been emailing told me point blank that they have ZERO dealers that handle parts. The only way parts are sold is via the company, directly, and they decide, on a case by case basis, whether the parts...

Oh, boy. I just got myself a good laugh over this Pulsar mower. I mentioned the slight problem in getting a carb for this thing over on a computer forum I visit regularly. I was ticked that there are no dealers in the US of A that had parts. Well, one of the computer gurus posted a question for...

Briggs and Craftsman? Dang! Yeah, I know, I'm a damned dinosaur, but I think back several years when buying anything with a Briggs or Craftsman name meant you were both buying quality and buying American. I knew guys that had HUGE toolboxes filled with nothing but Craftsman tools. My own...

Bingo! Thanks. I had found those exact images on a different site, but when I tried to zoom in, it was way too fuzzy to read. I have managed to save both of the images in the link you provided as .jpg images and they are crystal clear when zoomed in. I managed to get in contact with Pulsar...

I'm guessing that in the few years it has been since I was doing this kind of work, the cheap import stuff has flourished. This is the third really cheap push mower that has fallen into my hands in just a few short months. It's a shame that retailers like Menard's Lowe's Home Depot, Walmart...

I had another mower come in with a brand name I had never heard of. It is a Pulsar model # PTG12205, with a serial number of PTG1220520090337. The engine data stamped on the back of the case is DV0150 19123092329. I have searched and searched and can't find a single site that has any parts for...

Here is a live link for that manual. http://www.wfmfiles.com/download/manuals/316_318_420_LG_Technical_Manual(TM1590_17May95).pdf

You got THAT right. I miss all my old Minolta 35mm rigs. I had 8 or 9 and then a whole arsenal of lenses. I switched to DSLRs quite a few years ago. Then, health problems prevented me from going out and taking all the photos I used to specialize in. I was really into old, antique barns and...

I have to agree with that, kind of. Cubs are NOWHERE near what they were when they were built by the International Harvester company. Whether or not they are junk is kind of subjective. People with a small lawn like I now have can get years of use out of an MTD made Cub. One thing you can NOT do...

That could launch me on a whole, long, rant. I started working on computers in 1976 and spent 30+ years doing it. To me, a phone is exactly that - a phone. I use mine to talk to people. The first thing I do when I get a new phone is uninstall damned near everything on it. What I can't delete, I...

I bookmarked that one too. I just tried searching for the manual that I had trouble finding. It's not on that site either. Maybe it's just because the engine is so new and they haven't loaded those manuals into the site's database yet. But thanks for the link. I'll try it in the future.

That page works sometimes, but then sometimes I end up with that page up, but the link is to the same page. Look at this screenshot. If you'll notice, the link is set to return to the exact page you started with, itself. I've been playing with this for quite a few days now. I keep trying to...

That looks like a good place to try. I just tried a quick search for an engine I just got done with. It didn't turn up any results, but that was just one. I have it bookmarked now so will try it the next time I go searching. Thanks.

Yep. I have found that I have fewer problems with my fuel systems when I use only "pure gas". There is only one station in my small city of under 10,000 that has pure gas. I found that station via the site in the link below. Check it out for your town/city. https://www.pure-gas.org/ .

I'd just make one observation and comment. I know a lot of guys will say that a stamped deck is a reason NOT to buy a particular lawn tractor. I suppose if I had a mowing service and ran the thing all day, 6 or 7 days a week, or if I still lived out on the farm, I'd probably go along with not...

I just experienced that today. I was working on a Briggs motor on a push mower. It was a simple tune and service. I needed a new air filter and an RJ19LM plug. Made a quick trip to pick the stuff up. Came home, checked the gap to ensure it was correct, shoved the plug in, connected the wire, and...

OK. That's pretty much what I figured. I just didn't see how it could be a 2021 model if the engine wasn't produced until October of 2021. I know the kid I got it from told me that they had purchased the mower new at the beginning of this year's mowing season, which probably means it was a 2022...

Nope. No sense in trying to contact MTD. I buy mowers I find around the area and refurb them for resell. I wouldn't attempt to make a warranty claim. Doing the repairs ans refurbishing is what I do. LOL! After finding the DOM on the engine case, I know that the mower is only one year old. It was...

Well, I need the date of manufacture for a couple of reasons. First, there are some parts that are different based on the year of manufacture. That is really evident in the carburetors, for one. I needed to be sure I had the correct model year. So far, I haven't needed to order any parts that...

Zue. That isn't the model number of this mower. I just posted a reply that lists the correct model number. It is 11A-02B752. I tried using Jack's to locate info and parts, but that model isn't in their database yet.

OK. Yes, I put an extra 7 in the model number. I have some nerve damage that affects my right arm/hand. I have twitches that happen occasionally when I'm trying to do certain things. I guess I had a twitch and doubled the number 7 in the model. The correct number is 11A-02B752. I just double...

I'm a newbie on here, but I'll say that if the hose can't be removed with slightly more than gentle twising and pulling, I automatically replace the lines. I do that even if there is enough extra line to cut the line off. I figure if the hose has gotten hard enough to make removal near...

Ouch! I can't imagine what is must be like to try and do anything on today's Internet with only a 1 Mbps pipe. I used to lag behind most places when we still lived out on the farm. Since we moved into town, I have a 600 Mbps pipe and if I wanted to spring for an additional $15 per month, I could...

Yeah, I'd say you could be right about the US of A being home to more all around jerks than other countries. We seem to have an abundance ofthem for sure.

You should try computer and Linux forums if you want to see a whole load of that type thing. I was recently banned from a Linux forum because I asked how to do a particular task and the administration on that forum banned me because they don't think I should be using a program that I have used...

I'll try and reply to each post. StarTech, I got the manual. Thank you kindly. Just what I needed. shadetree#1, I'll take every owners manual and service manual I can get. I've started a little repair and service biz out of the garage. I've been buying some used mowers I find in the area with...

Yeah, I'd like to have a copy of the owners manual for a model 08P502-0167-F1. There will be more I need as I go along, but this is the only one for now. Since I'll be needing them as I buy more to refurb, I'll need different ones. That's why I put a bug in the ears over on the Briggs site. It...

Does anybody have a link to a site or page where we can download owners manuals? At the present time, there is a glitch on the Briggs site on the page to find and download manuals. The link is incorrect and it points right back to the page you start on. Kind of useless right now. I sent a...

Well stated, bertsmoblie1. Growing up, my family first had a John Deere Model 60 lawn tractor and a few years later a Cub Cadet Model 73 with the Kohler K161 engine. I mowed a total of 7 yards to make money as a kid. My grandparents yard included two barn lots so it was about 4 acres. Our own...

That's no joke. I expect anybody could injure himself trying to balance a mower or tiller on it's side, but for old farts like me, it's an even greater possibility. If I move my back the wrong way, turn my knee just right, or overreach a tad bit, I could end up in the E.R. LOL!

HAH! Yeah, the ordinance states that a person may be fined $750 for "accidentally" running over a squirrel. Seems a tad bit high for a true accident.

This is an older thread, but it is also exactly what I was going to ask about. I haven't tinkered with many small engines in the past few years and I guess I've missed some major changes. I just picked up a Remington mower with a Briggs engine. I spent a couple of hours today disassembling part...

I guess I'm pretty close to east central Illinois, but officially I'm still in southeastern Illinois. I'm in Olney. Originally from Palestine, then a few other places during military tours and then a few places before we bought this house in Olney 6 years ago. This is where I'll die. I'm done...

I'll have to keep researching those codes from MTD. It's funny that not one person has put the way to decipher the new numbers on a website somewhere on the "Net. Maybe somebody will get that info posted in the near future.

Ahhh. I get it now. The first 6 digits of the serial number on these new motors is the manufacturing date. Quite obviously none of the websites I visited have the latest, up to date info on Briggs model numbers, serial numbers, and DOM. Maybe that's why none of them made sense when I was trying...

Nope, I have triple checked everyplace on that engine there is to look. There are no numbers after the F1. I did, however, find the number stamped on the side of the engine with a second number stamped in also. It states, "DOM 10 23 2021". So, it was definitely manufactured in October of 2021. I...

OK. I just double checked to be sure. The model number I provided is correct. The screenshot below is from the Parts Warehouse website. I'm sure I have the correct model number. As for the serial number, I'm not sure what you mean by "Briggs does not use serial numbers". Every Briggs motor I...

OK, I just now registered because I think I'm losing my mind. I'm trying to determine the year of manufacture for a lawn mower I just picked up. It is a Remington, 20", side discharge mower with a Briggs engine model number 08P502-0167-F1 and a serial number of 2110238970214. I have searched the...
