[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4042705, member: 15054"] I had a 10HP briggs rider that did not have good enough ring seal to suck enough air through the carburetor. Worn out was an understatement. I made it run by using a carburetor off a 5HP push mower and made the adapter with heater hose. It ran great but used a lot of fuel. I loaned it to a buddy I told him DO NOT put an original carb on it as it will not run and he used it for most of the mowing season. I was at his house and asked about the mower as his grass was tall. He said it will not start. I went out and looked at it and he put an original carb back on it. I told him. He has a fuel injected Nissan 4X4 that has less than 60,000 miles and they could not figure out the issue. Spray starting fluid at it and it ran. Fuel pump is working. They thought it jumped time??? Ok . I took his 2 barrel off his CJ5 and cut a log he had with a saw and drilled a few holes in it and mounted that carb and used radiator hose to hook it to the air intake on that 4X4. Filled the carb bowl and it fired up and ran nicely. Revved it a few times and ran the bowl dry. Filled it again and fired it up and told him nothing wrong with the timing chain. Come to find out with more conversation the fuel lines completely deteriorated and filled the injectors with crud. [/QUOTE]
