Briggs and stratton intek 5.5 carburetor

I have a MTD edger with a Briggs and Stratton engine 91212-1319 3.5hp looks like late 90s era possibly. Looking for a fix, sputtering oil out of crankshaft/crankcase while running any tips? Or direct replacement?

As you may remember, the slobs went out with an amazing bang in 2021. That was a banner year of horrible content at Cinemassacre. The podcast, BTS, plagiarized monster madness, shitting out awful AVGNs every two weeks in a mad dash to get episode 200 out by Christmas. Which ep 200 also really sucked.
Remember the first post slobs video? When James was going to get back to basics and make videos on topics he liked. It was that damn VHS tribute video. Which was I think the third ode to VHS he had made. Boy if that wasn’t a sign of things to come. The Post Slobs Era could be renamed the Reheated Leftovers Era. Bimmy, just bankrupt of ideas, has been rehashing old topics and treading over the same ground for two years now. Here’s an itemized list of him recycling his own content:

1. VHS memories
2. Nosferatu 100th anniversary
3. The Last Ninja (where he attempts to recreate his old style and look, the first self nostalgic moment.)
4. Lloyd Kaufman returns! 5 Contra How I Remember It, including his recounting of the time he beat the game before school. Which is like his fifth retelling of that story.
5. Joe Bob Briggs returns!
6. Top Gun NES revisited, for a nonsensical comparison of an 8 bit game with a modern movie sequel.
7. Rocky Climbed a Mountain (remember when he jumped a park bench?)
8. Doom! Him talking more about his limited experiences with Doom and sharing the same two stories about it.
9. Indiana Jones AVGN. He once more tried to mimic his own older style, doing the meta self nostalgic bit again.
10. Beating Jekyll and Hyde. I can’t remember if this was his 3rd or 4th video on this obscure NES game. Just member berries
11. And now more Castlevania. Because he hasn’t spoken enough about Castlevania and that fucking eight directional whip from Super Castlevania 4. Did anyone really need to hear this guy whining about the whip again. Bonus #13. Neighbor Nerds. Which is the off brand James and Mike Mondays. Only James doesn’t have to leave his house.

I mean damn. The Slobs produced a ton of awful content, but I’ll give them credit for trying some things. At least they were able to get Bimdog out of his comfort zone. He’s been in nothing but his comfort zone the past two years and it’s been a total snooze fest.
What is your prediction for his next bit of recycled content?

Homeowner considering a 54" zero turn. Wondering if I should get one with a Briggs and Stratton, Kawasaki or Kohler engine. I have about two acres of lawn, I think 54" will be large enough? I'm looking at their entry level machines, I would appreciate any advice. Also curious if the hydraulic seat is a must? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Game ended at 9:15 PM.

I have an Ariens 46-inch Hydro Tractor (model number 936053) circa 2011. It is powered by a Briggs and Stratton engine. When mowing this weekend, I began losing power on hills--specifically on the downward slope where the front was pointed down. After noticing, I would brake and slow the decent and that helped for a while. But after more use, I began losing power in other hills and eventually on level ground. When it would lose power, the RPM would drop and it sounded as if it were bogged down. One time, it completely shut down and I had to restart the engine and mower. Stopping the tractor forward motion or mower deck would sometimes help and the engine would come back up to speed.
I parked the tractor and lifted the hood. I found that the plastic gas tank was bulging so I slowly opened the gas cap to relieve pressure.
I assume these things are related, since I've not experienced either before. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem is? What should I be looking for and inspecting to fix this?

I got a Toro Recycler 22” with a 190cc Briggs & Stratton for free off a coworker. He didn’t maintain it very well. The mower has a knock when cutting through thick grass, and the oil looks pretty glittery. Is this enough to know the engine is junk or is it worth looking into?

Are the Briggs and Stratton engines in JD and Troy Bilt mowers comparable/the same? I'm having a hard time rationalizing the cost of a JD vs a Troy Bilt if their guts are pretty much the same... Also, I know nothing, obviously, but I'm sure you smart people will give me the scoop. Am I paying more for a green mower for a good reason, or would the cheaper red be just fine. Have about an acre of flat country lawn to cut.

Hey everyone,
I recently acquired a 2001 Honda Shadow 750 Spirit (Dual Carb) from a Facebook purchase, and while the bike runs great at half to wide-open throttle, I've encountered some issues with idle and low throttle settings. There's quite a bit of backfiring on deceleration, and the bike doesn't sound too happy at idle. This is my third motorcycle, but my first carbureted one, so I'm diving into somewhat unfamiliar territory.
The bike came with rather large Cobra 2.5" pipes which I find too loud for my taste, so I'm swapping them back to the OEM exhaust. However, I suspect that the aftermarket pipes might have caused a lean condition due to their size. Upon inspecting the carburetor, I did find some gunk, but nothing alarming. Surprisingly, the idle jets seemed clear upon inspection, and they are OEM sized at 105 and 108.
I'm wondering if the bike was running lean due to not being properly jetted for the aftermarket exhaust. Additionally, the intake is stock. Could there be any other factors contributing to this issue that I might have missed?
Currently, I'm in the process of cleaning the carburetor without rejetting since I'll be reinstalling the OEM exhaust. I'm also planning to change the spark plugs, but I'm waiting on a special tool from Honda for that. An oil change, coolant flush, and chain adjustment are also on the agenda.
I did notice some loose hoses when I removed the carburetor, so perhaps there's a vacuum issue at play as well?
The bike has around 15k miles on it, and I've already tried adjusting the air fuel screw, which was initially set at 3 turns out. I experimented with going to 3.5 turns, but it made the idle worse, so I reverted to the original setting.
I'd greatly appreciate any insights or advice from the community regarding this issue. Thanks in advance for your help!

I own a riding mower with a 12hp Briggs and Stratton. A day ago it was running fine but today when I went to start it turned over and nothing happened. I checked the spark and it was good and the fuel line was supplying petrol to the carb after that I checked the air filter and it was good too. After this it tried to run for a few seconds but never got going and puffed a tiny little bit of smoke out the intake when it stopped. Have recently had the valves checked and they were good not sure where to go now it had fresh fuel put in a couple days ago too.

Hello, guys. I want to buy my first bike and SV650 seems perfect to fit my budget (5000 BGN).
I have from Bulgaria and it's hard to find a good one that fits my criteria - naked version, above 2003 (so it's not carburetor but EFI as I prefer that) and to be in the budgetof 5000 BGN (this is roughtly 2600 EUR / 2800 USD).
My problem is like I said in my region very rarely I see that, some of the ads are either 6000 BGN, others are too cheap as 3000 BGN but are the 2000-2001 version (first gen) with carburetor.
So today I stumbled on this NEWEST ad, uploaded today. And I'm thinking its looking good, so I want to ask you what you think, what are the things I should look for when buying it (lots of scammers in Bulgaria), I watched some videos and a guy told me that sometimes the bike looks good oon the surface but has issues on the inside like a rusty fuel tank. So what are the most common things to look for. Look at the ad and tell me what you think

My neighbor gave me a FS86 trimmer. I threw a new carb on it, got it dialed in and ran it for about 5 hours this weekend. Yesterday I ran it for about an hour in the morning, quit for awhile when I ran the tank out of gas to run errands, and in the evening when I started it back up again it ran fine for about 2 minutes then it slowly lost power and sputtered out like it ran out of gas. I tried to start it back up again and it would start, run for a few seconds, then quit. I tried resetting the carburetor to “base settings” (both screws turned all the way in then backed off 1.25 turns) with the same results.
Running TruFuel 40:1.

I'm looking to book a house for 4 or 5 nights in February. We have a diverse group of skill levels. So we need a mountain that can accommodate children and cautious adults that like to stick to greens. But we also have experienced skiers and riders that like to get some speed and usually hit blues and blacks. I usually spend some time with my kids and then head off with the rest of the guys. The wives and the youngest like to stick to the greens (for now) and the older kids (11 years old) really enjoyed the blues at Okemo this year when we ventured off.
For context we can ride anything at Belleayre and the Okemo blacks were not overly challenging.
I liked Okemo but the greens are all intersecting the blues and blacks and was just annoying to get around with the kids. Too flat in spots.
I was thinking Whiteface, Stratton or Killington. Any thoughts on them? What would provide varied enough skiing where we would not get bored at all levels? Not overly expensive between passes, housing and food/drink.

First, please avoid telling me that it's not worth fitting a muffler onto this engine -- I already know that. And I know that a lot of the noise comes from all the moving parts. But sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
I have a push mower with Briggs & Stratton engine 09P602-0137-F1 (single cylinder, OHV). The standard muffler for this mower is 590565:
https://preview.redd.it/c4x4sojxt60d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=188ac1e1d18d223957eb481b9fca23b1ea34b746
The muffler is held on by two screws spaced about 3.25" apart. The exhaust port on the head is not threaded.
I have not found a quieter muffler (or any muffler, for that matter) that would be a direct fit, so I'm looking for ideas to fit something different (toying with different mufflers on a small engine is a lot cheaper than an automobile engine!).
The first thought I had was to drill and tap threads for the existing exhaust port, which would give me a lot of options, but to do it right I would have to remove the cylinder head to clean out any metal shavings.
The simplest solution I have come up with is to fit a 3/4" L-bracket on to the existing mount points onto something like this: https://www.jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/part/briggs-stratton/496892
https://preview.redd.it/yowqh5bdw60d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=10266dbb1ae032318971fb8fa71abdae0bfb99d7
but I'm not sure how sturdy that would be under vibration. It would probably be better to fabricate a custom plate, but that's a lot of work.
Any other ideas (even crazy ones) that I haven't thought of?

Hey guys just bought a Briggs and Stratton 6.75ft/lbs 190cc 2550psi 2.3gpm pressure washer. Pump was bad and I bought one off of Amazon that is max 3200 psi 2.5gpm.
I know that it’s recommended for 6.5-7hp but it seems to work on mine just fine and doesn’t stall it.
My only question is even if it doesn’t stall it I’m pretty sure it’s working itself pretty hard to the point where I feel like it’ll get too hot. I like the pressure a lot and would rather not turn it down but I’m not sure if it will damage my motor in the long run.
Any of you had this experience in the past or recommend if I should be turning it down a bit?

Here we go again! Sorry this was late I was in ER.
This is a post that I’ll be trying to make weekly to help gain traction for novels or series that we as a community want to be given more attention. I am currently focusing on novels of our genre that have 300 or less reviews and less than 5 stars.
That’s the range I believe that we could make the most difference with positive reviews, comments, feedback for authors in this genre. If enough of us found a lesser known book like Greatest Dragon Rider In The West, Wings over Marseilles, or Thule the fast food barbarian we could make the difference. It’s straight up a numbers game if we share the love of these books and novels with each other.
Some of these fictions are so close to joining the success list! Please don’t stop supporting now!

Please if you could help add to this list we can actually make a difference and keep this genre strong by giving these novels the attention they deserve. Turn a hidden gem into a bright light in a market and a world that often seems too dim of creativity and variety. The quality and quantity are out there if we lend a hand to our fellow readers and authors.
one last thing and it’s not required. If you do decide to suggest a book, say why you loved it.
And now the most exciting news!! we have even more successes! As of this week 7 there are 8 novels above 300 and more that are almost there! (Numbers updated as of tonight)
Raconteur by Kirk Mason now sits at 350!!
The Last Real Man 1 by J Foster Ward now sits at 332!!
Solar dragons need love too 6 hit 306!!
Chronicles of Grove 1 by Callen Clearwater is now at 316!!
Son of the Hero King Hikaru Genji now sits at 340!!
Dashing Devil: Hidden Hero G D Brooks sits at 308!!!
Incubus R A 2 by Virgil Knightley has reached 302!!!
Soul Knight 1 by JJ Bookerson is at 343!!
May be doing a post of just omnibuses on Wednesdays soon but not quite yet. Thank you to the authors and readers that answered my questions about them.
It’s heartwarming to check these novels each week and see those numbers rise. Everyone, you rock.
Edit for wk 7. A lot of the novels in the “success” section are already on their way to beating 400. It would be amazing for this subreddit and those authors if they broke that barrier before I even moved on to it!! But

THE BEGINNING
The exclusive Fiat 147, which was directly derived from the European success 127, launched in 1971. The new car, according to the Italians, would fit like a glove to the needs that Brazilians had to get around in a country of continental dimensions: the small 147 was robust, with easy and simple mechanics and, at the same time, provided a low cost maintenance. Furthermore, it had significant fuel economy when compared to other national cars of the time.
Perhaps due to its very compact external dimensions in relation to what was known, the new Fiat car left Brazilians with some insecurity, because, when looking at the national market, it was really compact, which made people think it was a frail and unreliable car.
THE ENGINE AND OTHER THINGS
Initially the compact received the FIASA engine (Fiat Automóveis S.A) which had a displacement of 1,050 cc yielding 55 hp (SAE) which led it to having a 0 - 100 km/h or 0 - 62 mph time of 18,8 seconds and a top speed of 135 km/h or 83 mph but most importantly, the fuel consumption was incredible: 12.3 km/l or 28.9 mpg in the city and 18.8 km/l or 44.2 mpg on the highway. In relation to the Italian 127, the Brazilian car had a more robust body, with more welding points, a fully independent suspension, being independent McPherson strut with coil springs at the front and transverse leaf spring at the rear, things that were necessary to face the harsh and mostly unpaved Brazilian roads. To showcase the new car and shut down the doubts of potential buyers a bold marketing campaign was launched where the little car descended and ascended the 365 steps of the staircase of the Penha church (RJ), famous for the promises of its faithful, without any type of special preparation, showcasing its reliability. In 1979 the ethanol version was launched, making this the first car to use this fuel type in the world, due to the modifications necessary to use this fuel the horsepower increased to 62 hp. Thanks to the burning of ethanol, this version let out a smell that resembled distilled drinks, which earned the car the nickname “Cachacinha”, which is the diminutive of the word “Cachaça” Brazil’s national distilled beverage.
SMALL EXTERIOR, BIG INTERIOR
The 147’s external size was very deceptive, measuring 3.62 m or 11’10” long, 1.54 m or 5’ wide, 1.35 m or 4’5” tall and having a wheelbase of 2.22 m or 7’3”, the car was smaller than the VW Beetle, but thanks to its masterful use of space and and the engine mounted in a transverse position, something never seen in any Brazilian car up to that time, made the interior space and trunk larger than that of its competitors, the trunk had a 352 liter or 12,43 cubic feet of capacity, which was helped by the fact that the spare tire was placed on top of the engine and thus didn't took any space away from the luggage.
DESIGN / FACELIFTS / NEW GENERATIONS
EUROPA FACELIFT (Picture 2): In 1980, the Fiat 147 underwent its first visual restyling, which was concentrated especially on its front. The new front of the hatch had a look that followed the trend of the time, marked by the wedge-shaped hood, the new slightly inclined engine cooling grille, and the polypropylene plastic bumpers that, depending on the version, could be painted in black or grey, the steering lights are now integrated next to the headlights, meanwhile, the side stripes of the sports versions are replaced by side rubbers, while at the rear the only novelty is the new license plate lighting set. With this update, the front of the car became known as the European Front. On a side note, the basic trim level still had the same visual style as the first version up until 1982.
SPAZIO FACELIFT (Picture 3): In 1983 the Spazio restyling brought new features such as new plastic bumpers with a wraparound design, new headlights, new amber direction lights, a new brand logo, on its side it featured new direction repeaters on the fenders, new plastic moldings and new wheels, at the rear the Spazio version had a larger rear window and new, thinner and longer tail lights. Inside, the new features included a new dashboard with a more modern design, a new instrument panel with information such as: speedometer, coolant temperature and fuel level, as well as warning lights.
VARIANTS
FURGONETA: This was the cargo version of the 147, which was nothing more than a 147 without the rear seats and rear windows. On the inside, this version gained a dividing grille to prevent objects in the cargo compartment from being thrown against passengers in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
147 PICK-UP / FIORINO: In 1979, the first compact pickup truck derived from a passenger car, the Fiat 147 Pick-Up, was launched.
