Just double check your carb. Better to make sure before you order.

Hi. This is a my flo jet carb, is yours like this. I got the kit on Ebay old stock. If you Google Briggs flojet, it will give you lots of advice. This kit would be no good if your carb is a different type.

Think that your options are an ethanol tolerant tank sealer or, if the tank is reasonably sound, a liquid rust converter.
A further option, particularly if it is only the lower segment that is rusty, is to keep the tank reasonably full with stabilised fuel to exclude air from the affected area.

Hi, I have had trouble with flooding on Briggs flo jet carb on my Merry Tiller, spent a lot of time fiddling with no success. In the end I fitted a new carb kit end of trouble.The float position on my carb is level with the carb body, needle just seating.

More often than not the problem with these carbs is not the needle and seat but internal leakage between the nozzle and the carb body. The nozzle seat can be lapped using a modified slave nozzle and the seal between the nozzle and carb body can be restored using the teflon washer from the 391413 Pulsa-jet repair kit.

Hi Chris
I will try and take some photos of it and post them so you can see what it looks like
That might take a few days as I don’t have it at home.
Then I will ring you

Hi, I am still looking for a parts book or operators book for a landmaster L150, has anyone got a copy they would be willing to let me have a copy of, thank you in advance, Sten

All back together now after straightening tinwork out and cleaning fuel tank out, I did this by putting some stones in and tiring it to the inside of the drum of my belle cement mixer , I kept vacuuming out muck then fresh stones ,I did this a few times then cleaned out with thinners came up like new inside. Since then I have stripped down rotorvator and cleaned up the bearings so turns very free now . I am going to leave the paintwork till next season once I know everything works ok .
