I have several customers who still using these older mowers and I even put a new short block on one last year, he had bought it 10 years ago just in case he needed it 😊😊😊 Smart older folks

Think this is the BEST clip I've seen on that carb, thanks

Nice informative video. Audio was good on this one. Also glad to see use of tripod to avoid fingers covering the lense.

Yes I was using a wireless mic for the complete shoot. Trying to do better with sound. The new tripod also helped.

Thanks for this sir. Just recued this exact mower that has been buried in my grandmothers garage for 25 years. I can't remember why we parked it but im fixing to finda out. Well after 2 rear tires fuel line , filter and the filter you needed thanks again for that and a battery. My carb bowl had a half inch of black junk in it so ill probably be doing the same thing you did there.

Thanks. Runs pretty good for an early 80s model

TIP: You can lengthen that fuel line where you can sit that tank ON the floor even while setting the mower on the bumpers

You're amazing. Hope I can find somebody with your kind of skills for my stalling Snapper.

Most riding mowers use a universal key. Most lock and key places should have one that fits or go to Amazon and order it.I would guess it would be like this one. www.amazon.com/SureFit-504-00622-Lawn-Mower-Ignition/dp/B073WDLV9G/ref=sr_1_2?crid=UEVZCO0SY2KJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ZozdjADO3R8LuStUsUuxS4nxiuUP4kmoQwXyEvbYgPsZOvU5ZHxEH5jQgqvoCMqRqZKx-SPwRHF9M0J72oxVl82LzBQZTnhec1hThLNYJfCcSeObTaj-mIge0x8DYMW_dnYhb9rlpdY_V87o0KJOEdq7S7b98M0Lsc_QylMQoRjAHkFwJrPj5wFcdCPWbFkOe99oCs8SjzGaFUdOfijMN0kG7-Upiffyc4Q6ym39bv4.W_cjHpxeRGZ0yXWtTnBs5wmu085li53CMVhrJCzMCq0&dib_tag=se&keywords=snapper+lawn+mower+replacement+key&qid=1714871238&sprefix=snapper+lawn+mower+key%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-2

I have a Snapper rider older than this one and it needs a gas tank. Any suggestions?

That is going to be tuff one. I had a hard time finding the air filter for it. You might have to do some engineering of one you can find to make it fit. Good luck with it.
