I'm 65 and still do what I can. Oil changes, filters, coolant changes, plugs and coil packs, sensor changes, etc. I can still do. Anything that's not in a real tight spot. My hands and fingers cramp bad from arthritis in tight spots. In the not to distant past I changed my Camry's valve cover...

Mine is a Reliance natty gas installed in Nov.1996. My ac and furnace were installed at the same time. Only thing ac has needed was a new inside blower fan. Furnace has had a flame sensor and 1 ignitor. I wish I could replace them with the exact same ones when it's time.

Just an update. I mowed my yard with this mower. I adjusted the governor and that helped a lot. It's not 100% but the grass was a lil damp and it's set to mulch. I'll try it when the grass is fully dry and if it's still not 100% I'll check the new carb jets. There was so much oil in everything...

Changed the gas to straight gas after changing carb. Its running ok after we got the 2 stroke oil burned out of it.

I don't think fast these days as you've probably figured out.

More to the story. This mower had 2 stroke boat gas ran through it by the last guy that borrowed it. Exhaust and spark plug were very oily. I held the governor open to keep it running for a while. Smoked like crazy but got better the longer it ran. I killed it and let it set awhile. I cranked it...

No it surges then dies with old cap loosened.

I replaced and gapped the coil. I'll replace the gas cap. It's been running good with the cap loose.

I got the choke figured out. The main problem was the governor. I tied the governor arm where the rpms would stay up and it runs now. Thanks for all the help. I learned some stuff.

The autochoke has issues. It's not wanting to open. I changed the link but it's still not right. I warmed it up and tied it open and it still won't keep running. Valve adjustment nest. I'm trying to figure out a good way to rig the choke manual.

Yes it's a muffler heat autochoke. Thanks for all the replies.

It will restart but runs rough and not long.

yes

I hate those plastic carbs.

It runs for 30-45 seconds.

For background I'm not a professional mechanic freely admitted but I like to tinker and learn. One of my bosses has this mower with a 725 Briggs that his brother gave him and he wanted me to see if I could get it going. It has set for quite awhile with gas left in it. Air filter was plugged. He...

I love tongue. When I worked in a custom slaughterhouse we put the heart into the ground beef. Tongue tacos and sopas are very good.

Volvo ruined Mack. I cut my teeth in R600's and 700's.

Anybody use these? I bought a package and my coolant checked acidic so I changed it. It was time to change it but I wondered if these were legit.
