This mower never ran right from new. I rescued another one from the trash,and got it working properly but how did this get through QC>? [img:center]https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...8768&type=1[/img]

Those are mass produced on machining centers..... this isn't the only one!!

That's pretty ugly.

Do you really know that it ISN'T supposed to be off center???

I'd think fuel passage would be totally blocked and it wouldn't run at all if it were supposed to be centered...

Still trying to figure out what is wrong with it. The hole being offset is normal.

Normal? Normal for what? I have never seen a seat with an offset hole.

I see it every time I take apart a Briggs and Stratton carb from a Quantum engine. Some have one offset (fixed) brass emulsion tube with another hole that is blind, and some just have the one offset hole.

LOL I figured as much, the seat is installed after the body is cast and then machined...

When I tangled with a Honda and their clones , the main jet was screwed into the base of the emulsion tube housing. This is a completely different setup. I opened up the idle and main jets and it's much better now. HF Micro drills to the rescue.
