    How do you clean soot and hydrocarbon build-up out of the muffler on a B&S V-twin?

    When I start my Ex Quest it blows out a large amount of black soot. Briggs and Stratton V-twin with the large 1/2 gallon-sized muffler underneath and behind the engine. Twelve years old with no previous cleaning. What product/solvent should I use to clean it out? Thanks.

    THANKS guys! Oven worked. 350 did not work. 400 worked. Now, ONWARD...through the fog. AND DAMN THE TORPEDOES!

    Blade bearing housing: Can't get the bearings out. What's the secret

    Thanks. I'll go back over it with a new effort tomorrow. The root problem is that there is no inner bearing race ridge at the back of the bearing where a tool might gain a purchase. The sleeve (bushing) is the exact ID as the bearing, and it fills the space between the bearings completely...

    Blade bearing housing: Can't get the bearings out. What's the secret

    UPDATE: Resolved, but carry on. The problem WAS: 48" Exmark Quest, 2010. Starting to hear some bearing noise, not as smooth as it could be. Already replaced the three idler pulleys. Now, on to the 6203ZZ's in the three bearing housings that support the blade shaft. I am stumped. I've...

    eXmark engine

    I've got a vintage Honda CR125 karting motor that makes right at 40hp and If I could figure a way to make it run vertical shaft it'd be on my Exmark and that Intek would be history. It runs a Keihin carb with no float in the float bowl, made possible by running a double-pumper fuel pump, float...

    Quest hydrostatic drive belt cross reference?

    Excellent info! THANKS! Yes, I have a good opinion of of Gates as well. Sold all kinds of Gates belts back in the day when I worked for Motion Industries. I wish I knew the pitch diameter of the OEM belt. That would be the keys to the kingdom. Do you think Exmark has their sheaves spec'd...

    Quest hydrostatic drive belt cross reference?

    Sounds like the OEM route is the way to go. Educate me please: Is the Exmark belt built tougher than your premium Gates V belt?

    Quest hydrostatic drive belt cross reference?

    Was a kart racer. Was a kart...participant more than a racer. Still got it. Sits out there in the shop. Yeah, the only belt I can find today IS an Exmark, but it is 60 miles away and $35.xx. Was hoping to find a cross reference and buy two for that price.

    Quest hydrostatic drive belt cross reference?

    At least It waited to break until after I got the front yard done. Reichsfuhrer Robin just would not have understood had it broken sooner. So it's 1pm Saturday and all the Exmark dealers are closed. Does anyone know what the Gates or Dayco number cross-reference is for the hydrostatic drive...
