    149 did a great job today on high weeds in the east pasture. Thanks for the carb help!

    Cleaning out the area behind the needle seat did the job. Thanks for the advice Digger!

    A new 24 horse two cyilnder mower came with my house in south Florida. I gave up on it due to flimsy construction and lack of power and used my 129, and later my 149 while in living there.

    I managed to get the needle seat out this time, and the area below it was pretty cruddy. May be the problem!

    I drilled out the fuel feed hole and cleaned out the needle. No change. Off she comes again!

    Hmmm. Guess I'll pull it off and go through it again then... but for the life of me, I can't figure where the stoppage could be! Maybe first I'll drill the fuel feed hole below the jet a bit bigger...couldn't hurt! Maybe deposit buildup has made it too small?

    OK Charlie; I will. But it's a REALLY simple carb, and the needle and float are working right, the feed hole is clear and the jet is clear. What else in there could possibly be shutting off the fuel flow? Inquiring minds need to know so that I can LOOK for that elusiveblockage!

    Luther, it runs another ten or 15 seconds after I pull the choke full on. So I suspect it's fuel starvation. I've checked spark at the plug when it dies, and it's good.

    Kraig, I soaked it in carb cleaner for three days before flushing, blowing, and reassembling. I ran a drill bit through the hole below the main jet to make sure gas was getting to the jet, and the main jet is clean and all orifices are clear. I had a spare carb but let it go with all the CC's I...

    Lyle, it goes the same distance with cap on or off. Dangdest thing I've ever seen!

    HELP! My 149 is starving for fuel. Clean tank, clean fuel, clean carb, new hose, new fitting, new filter, proper float setting. But it goes for about 100 feet and stops. Wait about a minute and it goes another 100 feet and stops. There is no screen in the tank, and fuel flows freely out of...

    Here's my south florida snowblower - 454" chevy power, coolant flows through handlebars, and radiator heat blows on operator. I give up: I keep getting an error message that says the formatting code image does not exist! (Message edited by jsimpson on December 15, 2005) (Message edited by...

    Travis, you can have the deck. I've got no way of getting it down here anyway. If that guy from down here in central Florida who brought my other deck for me wants it, he can have it next time he comes by your place.

    Speaking of boxy mower decks, has anyone tried to use a sheet metal brake to duplicate the 48" deck? It sure looks like a stainless deck would be doable!

    Two more advantages of the mechanical PTO: If it fails, you can still mow. And it doesn't draw current from the electrical system.
