Re: Marketplace rant
Well the same exact RM48 mowing deck shows up on marketplace for $100 this week. I didn't see it until mid week due to working too much/raising kids/my wife working (I watch the kids)... Seller responded and told me I was 2nd in line. Again I offered more money and no response. Listing is gone again...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning
David the idle screw was 5/8 to 3/4 turn out from the seat. Service manual says to start at 1&1/4 turn and adjust from there and if needed richen it up another 1/8 turn. I'll put the limiter cap on in a position where I can richer it up more. After breaking down the carb, I gave it another clean...

Re: Sunflowers
Any idea what kind you planted? We grew some that my kids planted in pots at the local library. They grew (in the ground) to 7 or 8' tall.

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning
Hour and a half later the carb is out :headbash: I borrowed an ultrasonic cleaner with heat from work. Going to try distilled water and simple green. I'll break down the carb tomorrow. I haven't ever taken the idle mixture screw out. It's under a stupid limiter cap. I'll count the number of turns un...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning
Does it snap back hard when key is turned on ? Is it coming all the way back ? You have cleaned the jets so many times with out a lot of success , I am thinking there is something else going on . It is hard from the other side of the computer screen to tell what is going on. Another thought is that...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning
Matt , what kind and brand of fuel are you using ? It's got 87 octane in it right now. I had some 109 octane, ethanol free mixed in with the 87 plus some sta-bil fuel stabilizer over the winter. I've run several gallons through since the winter. I just picked up a fresh tank but have not run any th...

Re: First cutting
Hang in there Eugene. You will get the bugs worked out and get the lawn finished up. A tank of gas mowing is quite an accomplishment. Been there and done that

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning
@ the one on the left in the first pic is looking lean . I read somewhere that the Kohler and B&S twins have a lean bank and that the jet on one side is a half size larger and not to get them mixed up when redoing the 2 barrel carbs . Yes the 21HP and 23HP engines had 2 barrel carbs with two di...
