The only way to mount the carbs with would require bending the crap out of the linkage. , just use two outer sections of control cable to keep every aligned, slide one out put in a bolt while holding light pressure on the assembly then the other side . Easy peasy and no bending of linkages.

it depends on the which engine you have but most times the PCV filter is on top of the engine but you'll need to take off the flywheel to see it. To confirm this you'll need to use a Leak Down Tester to pressure test the system and find out if air is getting by the rings.

When you engaged the self propel, the transmission was turning the shaft. Probably worth it to continue. Might just be the gear that turns the wheel

Hi, I have a Murray lawn mower with a Briggs and Stratton motor on it. I have this issue where it has gas coming out of the primer bulb.

interesting.. You didn't say if you replaced the carb with a new or "just" another carb. What I would do, would be to the bowl off, doesn't matte if the carb is on or off the engine.

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE

Ай бұрын

don't worry, if the mower was shaking from damaged blade or crank, I would have mentioned it. It's not shaking that badly though

I understand that. Shouldn't the oil that came out with the gas be the same color that is in the engine? oil in engine is golden(fairly clean), what came out of the carb was black. The owner uses 5w-30 or 10w-30 oil in it, has had mower 2 yrs and hasn't changed the oil. This is the first time she has had issues with mower. Now on to next ?- would the self propel unit cause these kind of symptoms if it was not disengaging when u release the engagement handle? Is this an eternal problem and is it worth rebuilding or getting a new motor?

Hi! What cleaning spray do you use?

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE

Ай бұрын

Sure, I use Super Heavy Duty Degreaser from Harbor Freight

I have a small 2020 3.5 hp Mercury outboard that continues to flood under load. I've cleaned/serviced several small engine carbs without issue. However, this problem has me stumped... I replaced the original carb with a new clone but the problem has persist. The engine usually cranks with 2-3 pulls and runs fine when idled. However, when applying throttle it begins to sputter and takes a while to get up to speed. After being full throttle for 15-60 seconds fuel begins pouring out of both overflow vents from the carb. I have tested both carbs to ensure the needle is making good contact with the seat by blowing air through the fuel inlet and turning the carb to simulate the float floating upwards. Air does not pass through in the position. There is a fuel pump but I could not imagine it is applying enough pressure to both not have any leaks from the gas line and be able to push past the needle in the closed position. What are your thoughts?

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE

Ай бұрын

sure, did the fuel pump get replaced with a "universal" one or an OEM part. Also the carb might just be out of adjustment. yes it sounds like your carb is delivering too much fuel and causing it to bog down. Just out of curiosity have you considering adding an inline fuel valve to control fuel flow between the pump and the carb? Might be a fix so you can use your boat this summer. I'd try restricting fuel flow until the engine doesn't bog down when you roll onto the throttle

@BuckcreekTV

Ай бұрын

@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE it's the original OEM fuel pump. I detached the fuel line from the carb and verified that the pump was providing an adequate fuel supply and also determined if there were any additional leaks but I was unable to find any. I can certainly add an inline valve between the fuel pump and carb. That is what I did previously to get back to the launch was shut the fuel valve and periodically open it.(Located before the fuel pump) I'm also going to add an inline filter before the fuel pump. I drained the tank and fuel lines when I initially purchased this motor and have used E0 since, replacing it on a 3 month interval or emptying the entire system including the bowl when not in use

The SP just needs some new wheels the plastic gears are stripped. The belt guide is missing off of the bottom of the engine for the belt. For resale on those fixing the SP isn't really worth it ss they don't even really propel the mower on a front drive high wheel. They just spin in the grass. I remember people coming in the shop and wanting a a high wheel mower because they thought it better on rough ground. And thought it was easier in tall grass and niether is true . If it is easier to lift the front what happens to your drive? If you have a rough are buy the heavy duty rear drive mower and you will be better off. Something like an old Snapper with a side chute and low lift blade is a field cutting mofo .

Fix the self-propel? That's a coin toss. The good running Honda engine gives it some value by itself. Depends on how expensive it becomes to repair. If I could do it cheaply, I'd fix it. The Personal Pace system on my Toro gives me more problems than the engine. Last year, I had to replace the drive wheels. I've had to adjust or repair the PP system multiple times, while I've yet to have to remove the carb or head.
