Engines used in applications such as lawn mowers, go carts, chain saws, compressors, small pumps, generators, garden tractors, and string trimmers. Frequently hand (pull) started and without an electrical system beyond the spark plug. Technically there is an overlap with motorcycle / scooter engines, but for questions related to motor cycles or scooters those tags are preferred.

Weed eater dies when idling or not at full throttle, but is near catching fire at full throttle
The problem is you're not getting enough fuel. When you run it wide open, it still isn't getting enough fuel so it is running in a lean state, which creates a LOT of heat, and thus your near-thermonuc …

Float carburetor leaking gas
More than likely the float is saturated or non-existent, allowing the bowl to be over filled constantly (not stopping the flow of fuel into the carb). It could also be the needle valve not seating cor …

1996 40hp mariner magnum - no start
I'd recheck to ensure you have spark. If the plugs were dry, then you added fuel directly to the cylinders, it should have fired, if even for a short while. Considering how you said it shut off, the i …

How to inspect and clean a small engine stored for year without oil cap?

Carburetor question, attempting snowblower repair
Your best bet is to get a replacement carb. Some have had good luck rebuilding them, but for the trouble of it, it's just a lot easier to buy a new one off the internet. Personally, I can never get th …

It looks to me as though the main screw and washer comes off from the shaft, then you can just pull it off. It is probably splined. If you apply a little PB Blaster on it and let it sit for a half hou …
