Bill - welcome to S-B - Is the choke automatic? Or el Manuel?


My Mover has a motivational issue - it threw a rod... Anyone have a 8.5 - 12HP vertical shaft B&S kicking around here on S-B.com (short-blades.com) ?

this is what you can do.....

as i worked for a year in a lawn mower shop ok...

i can fix any engine...

and as f18 might also say... it's either spark or gas....

for you it seems to be gas...

so you become the carburator ....find an old eye drops bottle

or something you can convert into a mini squeeze gas bottle!

pull the plug and prime the hole with a little squirt of gas & replace plug

then get ready to pull and squirt gas into the carb...simutaneously

you might have to remove the air filter obviously...

and see if you can by pass the fuel system

and see if it runs for as long as you squirt gas.

if so,,,, then your gas isnt reaching

where it's supposed to go..

the needle valve is stuck...or something

is plugged up... be careful when you

pull the carb bowl off...or linkage..<<<-----

take digital photo's or make drawings and don't depend

on your memory... period.. unless you have a schematic .
