I've been trying to sort out the choke on a GCV160 powered Craftsman lawn mower, and I'm getting a bit frustrated. I initially ordered a replacement carburetor with a manual choke lever, which I soon realized was incorrect, as this mower has an auto choke lever. Got the correct carb, installed...

I’m trying to get this old Homelite trimmer running smoother (bogs down when I open the throttle more than a little bit) and when I looked at the fuel adjustment screws, the high side looks a little odd. It’s just a solid pin, and there doesn’t seem to be anything behind it that I can adjust...

I just got this Craftsman lawn mower, and when I pressed the primer bulb to try and start it, it just sprayed fuel out of this barb on the side of the carburetor. I looked up parts diagrams, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the other end of this hose is supposed to go. It just...

I'm pretty sure the problem with my non-running Poulan Pro PP335 trimmer is the carburetor. When I press the primer bulb, it doesn't fill with gas or build pressure like it should. I can see a small amount of fuel flowing from the smaller line into the left of the carburetor, and then through to...

I changed the speed cable on my HRR2163TDA and I can't get it to change the selector. When I pull the cable a little bit while moving the selector, it'll move it two positions, but that's it. The selector has been cleaned and lubed as well, so I know the problem lies within the cable...

I just replaced the self propel clutch cable on my HRR216, and for some reason it still has a lot of slack. As far as I know, it's routed correctly and I hooked in that little plastic retainer. How can I fix this? As of right now, I can't use the self propel function because it's too lose to be...

Finally got my valve clearance issue sorted out on my HRR (I think) so now onto the next problem... The mower starts nice and quick now, but it seems to idle low. If I turn down the throttle from the full position (not choke), it doesn't lower engine speed until it's at the very bottom of its...

I recently got my Honda HRR mower running, and all of a sudden, it stopped working again. The engine turned over just fine before, but now it hits a hard spot when pulling the cord. I already check the clearance on the magneto and the flywheel brake and they're fine. The issue is within the...

My John Deere JS20 has been giving me trouble with this for a long time, and now that I've fixed the self propel and replaced the flywheel and key (it was totally destroyed, flywheel spun on the crank) it is still shaking. It runs perfectly fine, maybe starts and stops a little quicker than...

New to the forum. Been browsing for a little while, but I finally had to join and figure out why my Honda isn't running right. The mower starts pretty easily when the throttle is on full "rabbit." However it doesn't idle if the throttle is any lower, let alone start. I've looked at all the...
