Hi all, I have a john deere S130 riding mower. I am in need of a cover for the mower that will not only fit the mower but will cover the bag assembly as well? All of the covers i see online only show covers which protect the mower...not the bag assembly. I was able to find "one" cover but of...

so i was just reading........this 2 cycle engine may not have valves so i guess i am back to the drawing board on this one.......i am not sure what to do to figure out why this thing wont start. i checked spark using one of those spark checkers and the light comes on.....so i am assuming i...

in looking at the Craftsman backpack blower (Model number 316.794790) ....does this thing even have valves? If so i cant find them..........

if we assume it is low.........and we assume that the valves need adjusting.......what on earth would i adjust them too?

Hi all, well, its been a while since i have had time to work on this blower. I ordered a carb rebuild kit and well this did not seem to help..........so i then ordered a compression tester to see if the compression was ok. i am enclosing pics of what i measured which was ~ 65 psi......see...

thanks

I hear what your both saying. My interest in the "manufacturer" is that i thought generac might be adding on to the price and if i could find out who makes the carb maybe i could get it from them or find a replacement made by same manufacturer. Sounds like this approach is not a good one...

Thanks. I see the part number "0K10430120" so thanks!!!!!!!!!!! But how does one know "what company made the carburetor"? is there a way to find out?

I am enclosing a pic of my carb. Any idea on how to identify the company that makes it? Do you think this carb would work? A neighbor suggested this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HMSC1W8/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_QSP77YJBKNE638VG82Y2_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have a Generac Model= 060242 Power Washer and it had carb issues. I cleaned the carb and it actually helped out a lot it did not need to be chocked to run. However, after changing the oil and then the next morning i noticed that the oil smelled like gas. I think i found the problem with the...

sorry for not replying sooner.........been sick with covid...actually still kinda sick. i just did not want you guys to think i had stopped reading or gave up on this blower......

i am in no rush or anything using this as a learning exercise really. so i was thinking of ordering a carb kit and trying this out. but i kinda wondering if this is really going to work. when i took the carb apart the pieces looked ok to me.......the diaphragms looked ok....(as far as i could...

i put the carburetor back together with the correct ordering of parts....... I put a little gas/oil mixture in where the sparkplug goes and then put spark plug back It ran for maybe 2 or 3 sec....but longer than before where it "tried" to run.....so i guess its progress. I dont have much fuel in...

FYI: i think i mentioned in the first post that i got this from my neighbor...well neighbor down the street. A few days after i started this post i saw my neighbor and he asked how it was going with the blower. i said nothing new yet........i asked him if he had done anything to figure out...

thanks. this is kinda what i thought after viewing the diagram you sent. i will reverse the two and let you know if it starts or any change at all.

from the picture i sent can you tell which variation i have? i mean which numbers 11,25,13,12. Again from my picture, because i am trying to figure out if the gasket / diaphragm was flipped or something......in one of the pics i labeled the gasket and diaphragm...did i label them correctly...

i have a few questions. I took apart the carb again just to see if i missed anything and to try and verify the pieces/parts using the parts diagram from the Walbro diagram. Q1: the walbro diagram has 4 pieces shown in the parts diagram where as my carb only has 2. How do i know what 2 pieces...

i looked at Carb again and there is a part number on it. it is a Walbro..........447A-947 is this the same as the one you posted above?

huh, i tried to do that very thing.......i probably messed something up.......i will try it again. thanks. oh, i forgot to ask , how on earth did you figure out that the carb model number was made by them? oh, any comment on the "extra" stuff in the carb kit that i did not see when i took it apart?

i am trying to look the WYJ-447-1 and/or the carb kit K20-WYJ. For the part number WYJ-447-1.......when i go to the walbro website and type in a search of this part number nothing comes up. Am i doing something wrong? When i look at the carb kit there are individual pieces that look like go...

how to identify who made the carb to see if we can get a repair kit......or shouldi just replace as one suggested.......thoughts?

would you do the $15 carb or would you do the more expensive one.......i just dont have a lot of experience replacing carbs so i dont know which i should do.........since i am trying to repair this mainly as a learning exercise i am leaning towards the cheaper one but am willing to pay more if...

fyi when i cleaned carb i did not spray the diaphrams or the gaskets.........

wanted to ask you all a question: i am thinking i need to order a new carb i was thinking of getting this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/273246767018?hash=item3f9ec6c7aa:g:5sAAAOSwyMVdnb0z Thoughts?

ok, i took the carb apart and cleaned it with carb-spray.....put it back together and ........nothing still wont start up. this 2 cycle carb has diaphrams and a few other things........not sure how to tell if the diaphram is good or bad..........i cleaned out spraying through all the holes but...

got new ignition coil............NOW I HAVE SPARK. So cool. Can you tell i am a newbie at this? Ok, so i put some fuel in the spark plug hole and put spark plug back and put ignition coil back and tried to crank it........i guess it kinda turned over but did not run a lot.......i am going to...

ordering a new ignition coil.......will let you know what i find out

thanks. Question: i was hoping someone knew how to measure the ignition coil to see if it is bad. i looked on line and i did some measurements but i have no way of knowing if based my values if its good or not. i measured from iron core to post where kill switch goes and i got ~...

where did you see the spark plug specification. note: the spark plug that is in the machine now is a firstfire FF-19 is that equivalent to the RDZ4H? Also, do they spec the resistance of spark plugs? i was curious because they tell you to measure the resistance of the plug to see if its any...

if anyone knows how to test ignition coil let me know. also, if i have to replace it any idea the model number. i looked up "mtd 7181B fl-56 201004" but nothing really came up. I got "mtd 7181B fl-56 201004" from the picture i posted above.

how do you test "kill switch is functioning and you crank it over with a good spark plug" not sure i understand what this means. It kinda sounds like you want to try a new spark plug but if the ignition coil is bad a new spark plug wont help.....right? oh, wait i think i understand...

what does IPL stand for? based on your diagram suggestion i was able to disassemble blower all the way to image between 19 and 23......see enclosed images.......i see the ignition coil. there are two wires connected to it i think. ?1: can the ignition coil spacing be too close........it does...

How did you know it was behind the blower assembly? I believe you......this is what i was kinda thinking but how did you know? The blower assembly is the side of the blower that is closest to a persons back if they were wearing the blower is this right?

here is a picture

Hi i have a craftsman backpack leaf blower model 316.794790 and my neighbor gave it to me. He said it has no spark. I took off the pull chord housing hoping to see where the ignition coil is located........but for the life of me i cant see how to get to the iginition coil. I can provide...
