Not Exactly Chainsaw,,

Not stirring the pot,,BUT, the chevy s-10 grill got tore off the front of my dodge1500 4x4, back in the woods.
The ride has gotten horrible, it's lacking power and the stereo aint as loud,,

I really need to get that grill put back on my truck before I cut any more fire wood,, :msp_biggrin:
 
You guys need Jonsereds Spikes?????? How many???


I don't think the ones for the 490/590 are the same as the 49sp.....my IPL for the 490 lists..... 506 01 49 01 ......the 49 and ALL the other Jonsereds have 504 55 06 00....'course those are just a red Partner.....so I doubt they take the same spikes...looks like they may fit the Husqvarna 49 etc.....
 
Afternoon gentlemen!

Mowed the grass

Run the tractor low and gas

Now it sounds like its missing and it's backfiring through exhaust

Smooths out at idle if choke is on

Think one of the jets in the carb is plugged?

Time figure out how to rebuild a mower carb I guess

Nothing to it, just clean out the central jet. No diaphragms or gaskets, just one seal at the carb bowl. I remember servicing 20 or more a day during the spring rush....LOL

Do I need to buy a kit of some sort for it Jerry?

It's a briggs & stratton 20hp intek ohv v-twin from 1997

Not sure of the carb make

From what I read online maybe a nikki?

They almost never need a kit, even heavily varnished carbs usually clean up. Seen a few that we had to find a float for but they were old school ones with cork floats. The solid plastic like floats never seen them get soggy. The needle valves and float arms can get sticky but a little cleanup in Kleen Flo or any type carb cleaner put them back into usable condition.

Thanks Jerry!
 
I received my "new" manual for the 68 Saab 95/96 yesterday......old...kinda beatup ....but all there and very readable......what a difference between a factory service manual and the "Comic Book" manuals like the Chiltons and Clymers Saab manuals the guy gave me with the car!! The comic books both showed the internal clutch adjustment screw right next to the clutch slave.....I hunted and hunted but could not find a darn thing that looked even close all around the slave????? Nope.... Factory book shows it on the complete other side of the bell housing....easy to spot once you are looking on the correct side of the car.....#%^^&#&@@^^ing comic books!!!!!

Clymers & Chiltons;

Park the (insert vehicle name here) in a well lit place. Disassemble inspecting for worn or broken parts. Replace worn or broken parts. Assembly is reverse of disassembly.

Good for any Make or Model.

Robin is the 96 a 3 or 4 cylinder? And did they have injection yet?

My neighbors when I was growing up had the 3 cylinder. 4 on the tree, freewheeling.

The local Airforce Base had a rule: all automobiles shall have snow tires on the rear axel.

Took weeks to explain and get a waiver.

Loved driving that car.

Easy enuf.
caution : any rubber gaskets leave in place,they HATE carb cleaner and will never fit again.
if main jet seats on rubber,carb cleaner HATES that too.
if needle tip is rubber seat is metal,if needle is metaL seat is rubber.
As Jerry said,main jet.
choke pulls fuel thru other jets so main is plugged.
 
Woohoo...I don't know what it is gonna cost me but I got a liberty pass for the weekend to head to the coast early on the bike and go off shore on Saturday and see what bites! Woohoo!

my dad is back in the hospital today, getting more tests done. I am a bit worried it might be bird flu. Hopefuly it hasnt spread here from china yet. Thank god for socialised healthcare. Hope he gets better soon. This must be really bad, I have never seen him go to the hospital my whole life, unless he is visiting someone.
 
If you ever need to find a home for a mini mac, I know where there is a D2 and D4 cat in need of wheel blocks. Also a case steam tractor that could use some. The centre of the back wheels is about 5 feet above ground. I believe there is also an actual steam roller there as well that could roll away at any second. Did I ever mention it is fun volunteering at an outdoor historic farming museum. :D

Too bad they sold the D8 cat, that could take out a whole production run of mini macs with one track. It even had the extra wide ice grousers. That is actually why they sold it, they needed to use the D4 to clean up the mess the tracks made after any movement of the D8.
