    Vintage B&S wont start, what is missing from this picture (carb)

    Some missing springs and linkage are preventing me from hooking up a throttle cable and maybe part of the dreaded no-start problem as well. (Good spark, fresh gas, good compression) Any idea where I may be able to get needed parts? It's a 1958!

    The chassis is all back together on Project Baja MB200 GC and time to start the engine. The engine is a non-hemi R210-111 from HF that came with the project and not original to the bike. It looks like brand new out of the box minus the muffler. I ordered the OEM muffler and gasket off the web...

    HS50 new carb issue no start

    I bought a new carb off ebay for my HS50 build. It doesn't seem to be getting gas to the spark plug as the plug is bone dry when I pull it. The plug has spark and will pop the engine over if I give it a shot of starter fluid. I began with backing out the carb adjustment screws one full turn from...

    Pred 212 starts, idles but shuts off when fuel tab is moved from start to run. Help!!

    A little background... it's several years old and always ran like a champ I just let it sit for 6 months like an idiot. Life got in the way. So last week I drained the tank, removed the carb, cleaned it out, changed the oil, and put some "Mechanic in a bottle" in to the tank. After all of...

I know its a non-hemi (which sucks) and I've looked all over for some sort of plaque, or anything that will give me the model number, (example: 68120) but all I could find was this sticker on the shroud thing that goes over the flywheel...

    Replaced Baja MB165 engine with a lifan 6.5 electric start.... Need Performance parts

    And I found out its a really tight fit. I had to take the muffler protector off, and air filter cover off. The gas tank cap/knob is centered, so you can't use it with the tank on. I will take the one off the original baja motor and use that if it fits the lifan. The metal tanks hang a lot...

I got one backfire with starting fluid and another one ignited fuel vapors coming from the tank cap (never had that happen before:doah:). Here's what I checked: 1. Spark--hurt when my hand got too close to the spark tester, so...
