9 times out of 10 it just the shit that settles in the bowl starts to clog the pick-up. Second would be that old gas turned to varnish and is gumming everything up. Always start with the simple stuff first.

I have all my vehicles and homeowners insurance through Farmers. The more things I insure, the better the deal.

There is no bowl on this mower. 9 times out of 10 if the carb has a primer bulb it is a direct feed carb with no storage device like a fuel bowl, otherwise it wouldn't need a primer bulb as fuel is already in the carburetor .

And to the OP, sounds like the diaphragm is screwed. Just get a kit for it and be done with it. The mower doesn't matter, what matters is the carburetor. The Scotts with the 5.6 hp briggs may have 2 or 3 different carbs. Some may be CA emissions, and some federal, etc.

well results from tonight carb is off and still off...

went to work on it and there is a fuel bowl, the float was stuck shut, because of the old gas that was left in the bowl when the mower was put up.

Carb Number: 214661 T (B&S)

found a 214700 diagram that is pretty damn close to this one.

Looking at page D, part number 106 Which is a rubber bushing of some sort, called a seat-inlet from the diagram.

This part was stuck and dry rotted, i proceeded to pull out the little pieces of rubber that were left. So tomorrow I plan to run to the autoparts store and see what they got.

You could try calling a small engine repair shop and see if they have the right kit/parts.

Swedish site The Local claims that Saab produced $531 million in black ink in 2009. Not possible, right? General Motors was, after all, all too ready to walk away and let the Born from Jets automaker die a pauper's death. Well, it seems as though all automaker profits come chock-full of asterisks, and the half a billion dollar profit is certainly no different. Saab was reportedly able to make with the dough by brokering deals with creditors to write off 75 percent of its debt and by selling technology, tooling, and manufacturing rights to Chinese automaker BAIC for $164 million. Without Saab's extraordinary efforts to remain in business, the company would have lost $752 million in 2009. The Swedish automaker sold a mere 38,756 vehicles during the tumultuous year, generating revenue of just $820 million.

Double post!

1/2 liter bottle of Coke, 8 inch flare and 2 10 inch flares.

I need to build 4 8 inch flares and 6 10 inch flares.

for work. Need to find time to get 5-6 burps in the Jeep to test / tune the new box.

And another woot for testing the backhoe today. Seems all is well, electrical works good, hydraulics work good. Just need to finish up the dash.
