@RaleysSmallEngines

Thank you. I don't think I have a video on that. In that situation I would first look at all pulleys checking alignment, then remove belt. Next spin and check spindles and idler pulleys for play and bearing issues. Then look up your machine on parts tree. Check the deck diagram to see if you are missing any belt retainers. Hope this helps.

I have a John Deere LT155 and it doesn’t Look like any of those in the video tutorials I’ve watched. My mower was pulsing and only running on choke. I thought I needed an air filter but I got a whole set: air, fuel, oil and spark plug. I put all of those four in. Now it won’t turn over at all. I’ve dried up a carburetor in my car before by trying to start it too many times after running out of gas. I dropped a little gas in the carburetor before to fix that and it seemed to have helped. Maybe that’s all I need to do. I’m tired so I’m gonna wait until the morning. Wish me luck. Something tells me I’ll need to get a new carburetor. One of the videos I saw said the aftermarket ones can be a lot cheaper than the OEM’s so I’ll go for that. I don’t think I wanna try and clean out the one I have. Two of the videos I’ve seen, yours and another, both gone through trying to clean out their carburetors , but ended up getting the new aftermarket one. I think I’ll cut straight to the chase and pass on the surgery.
