Ok, I was given this mower that didn't run. It had spark, so I knew it was the carb. I put in new gas, and while taking the carb apart to clean, the springs came out. One is a regular spring that is around 1/4 to 1/2 inch, the other is a spring with a red plastic cap on one end.
The card itself is simple. The float is attached in the bowl. The bowl is held on by a bar that you pull under it from the carb body (no screw hold the bowl on). The jet into the body is plastic & red.
The regular spring is currently out and the one with the red cap, I placed in the side. When I say side, it's the flat head screw where I think you drain the bowl. Red cap facing out towards the screw.
I'm not sure if it belongs there and if it does what direction. As for the regular spring, it came out when I removed the bowl. I'm not exactly sure where it belongs which is why I came to you fine folks.
It will run at the present time, but it spits and sputters and light black smoke comes out (maybe too much gas?)
Anyway, any advice or manuals for the carb itself would greatly be appreciated.
