    Gas tank venting on a 163cc Briggs mower engine

    The cap contains charcoal. They have since around 2003-2004 when the new emissions standards started kicking in. It was one of the first thngs that took place. And the vent may not be a hole. It could just be a loose connection between two parts that allows air passage.

    8HP Briggs Governor Shaft Leak

    Parts diagram suggest that one was used. Some engined didn't come from the factory with it installed. There should be a recessed area behind the governor arm for the seal to go into from the outside.

    Gas tank venting on a 163cc Briggs mower engine

    Most likely the vent is in the cap which also has a charcoal filter canister built into it. So the charcoal could be gas logged, and basically bricked.

    kawasaki fs730v-bs07 coils

    Could just be an aftermarket coil issue, But could also be caused by battery voltage backfeeding the coils causing them to burn out. Even momentary battery voltage at the kill tab on the coil will instantly burn them out.

    JD Z225 Repairs

    And that is true with a lot of repairs now. Cost to repair is more than the mower is worth but a replacement mower is 4-10 times the cost of repair. And with the cost of everything repair is the most affordable option for most people.

    You do not want the 2 to make contact otherwise you are torquing the D adaptor to the crankshaft not the clutch to the crankshaft. Everything has to sandwich together to hold everything in place. If the crankshaft bolt has a thick heavy washer then you don't use the D adaptor. The D adapter...
