of the yard it ate the belt. Well poo, that was supposed to be a quick job.
NAPA was open and had a belt, I also grabbed a gallon of Turbo
Were that it were only the carb!
I got back to SEA last night and it was too dark to make out the mess that four
weeks of unattended lawn growth was going to be found in the morning. Last
home visit I was confronted with almost waist high grass after near five months
of absence. I came right
Cool. Ya gotta love it. Not worth the effort to crack it open.

So I drained nearly 3/4 of a gallon of gas out of the crank case then

the plug back in and engine now turns over and sounds fine but still

As it turns out he installed a fuel shutoff valve because he was having
problems with fuel draining into the crank case when it sets. So what he would
do is close the valve then let it run till it ran out of fuel. I’m wondering if

replacing the carb (with new) is a better option, IMO. Google mower model or

My father had this small 13.5hp Craftsman riding lawn mower. When he
went out to start it, it would not turn over. It acted like it wanted
to. I figured it was probably the battery was low, or had a bad starter
or solenoid. He went and bought a new one because he was too lazy to
mess with
I know you guys like fixin stuff.
Last week my lawnmower broke, its only 52 years old, you can't buy quality. The
pulley for the mowing deck came loose from the collar, you can just see the

In the past I have been able to take off the rewind coil anf reload a new
string. Just make sure you set the coil tension and rewind in right
direction. . I have repaced springs on them too. also lube pulley if it
seems to be dragging the string.
No need to torque head bolts.
YMMV
