Very helpful. Mine's leaking around the float bowl. I was able to find individual parts for the float, needle, and gasket. Also thru in the primer parts to replace that while I am at it. In 10 years it could be twice the price to fix so I am taking care of it now. New OEM carbs are +700 bucks. Got all the parts for around 120. The wheeler has sentimental value to me as it was my fathers. After he passed I went to go for a ride and gas was leaking onto the engine. Looking forward to visiting his grave site on his old wheeler.

I have a Kawasaki FR engine that needs a good used crankshaft. Would you be interested in selling that one from this engine?
@kramnull8962 Ай бұрын
The compression release on the 2017 17.5 Intek Briggs will cause some carnage if the pressure release lever gets trapped between the rod and the block. Reviews on the Brigg's Amazon account, 2 years ago said don't waste your time on a new cam from Briggs OEM. Aftermarket cams were worse. Breaking in 1 day. Doesn't say if they were using good oil, or not; but mine was salvageable. Just have to place your hand over the air intake to crank it. Not worth buying a new engine or camshaft over. The cam lobes look great. If a new one is going to break anyways, just keep the engine I got. It's still 17.5hp. I have a 23hp Kawasaki cousin to this one. Hopefully the rats was this one's only problem. Still have to adjust the valves on mine after 2 seasons.
@smallenginerescue Ай бұрын
Yeah Briggs had alot of problems with those cams. I have put alot of oem Briggs cams in and they seemed to last after replacement. But it's not a cheap fix. The aftermarket cams are bad out of the box in my experience.

Mouse nest 😮😡😠🤬
@PaulHigginbothamSr Ай бұрын
What needs to happen on these mowers killed by mice is a hole drilled into the engine shroud of 3/4 inch as a tattletail hole for the owner to see if mice have built a nest under the shroud. This serves two purposes. 1. The owner can see the nest. 2. Mice having a hole above it's potential nest will be less likely to nest there since rain can fall into it's nest center. The owner might then need to check with a flashlight to check for mice intrusion but would be obvious if in a normal spot.
@smallenginerescue Ай бұрын
Thats not a bad idea as long as they would look once and awhile. Usually there is signs like mouse nest pieces coming out of the spark plug areas though. Alot of people just don't pay attention to anything as long as they can turn the key and go they don't check anything.
@andybecker2693 Ай бұрын
You don’t want to start drilling holes in the blower shroud unless you have a plug to cover them with while the engine is running. Any open holes will disrupt and lessen the flow of air around the engine causing the same problem you are trying to correct. It’s not that hard to just look with a flashlight through the existing openings in the airbox and around the spark plugs.
