Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Gas tank leaking, pull starter rivets worn, rope and rope bushing worn
The gas tank was a simple job, close the fuel shut off, remove fuel hose then back out 2 bolts on the mounting bracket. Reverse procedure to mount.
To replace the pull starter/recoil assy. Remove low oil warning light, and air filter housing then remove the 4 bolts holding the front cover. Once the front cover is free remove kill switch wire
Drill out the rivets holding the recoil housing w/ 3/16 bit. Screws w/ nuts are included to use in place of rivets, I used red Locktite on the screws which hold the started recoil to the front cover. Make sure the pull rope is correctly oriented in the 11:00 position. Replace front cover, four bolts. Air filter housing, kill switch wire and low oil warning light
