Take a piece of 12 gauge stranded electrial wire and pull one strand out of the bundle. Us the wire to poke through the bottom of the short fuel intake. It works like a charm. Just did it last night. Here is a youtube link to the video I watched to learn how to do it. It is a great video...

Speaking of Governors...anyone know how to make sure it is properly adjusted? I would like to make sure everything is right before I bolt the tank back on.

Yeah I used carb cleaner on the carb and rinsed the tank with gas. I think I can probably get all the sponge out with a little effort but I am wondering if I will have vapor lock problems if it is not in there. I read on the Briggs and Stratton site that it is actually to stop vapor lock and...

looks like it was clogged with silt from the upper bowl. Cleaned the carb and the tank and noticed the sponge is dry rotting as well. Trying to figure out what to do with the sponge issues and then hopefully problem solved.

Well I took the carb off and cleaned it and it looks great now. I think that my true problem was/is my fuel tank. There was a 1/4 of silt in the upper bowl and the gas that I dumped out of the main tank looked like someone made cereal with thin black milk. After rinsing a few times, I noticed...

Is there a thread in here with step by step instructions on taking the carb apart and cleaning and reassembling it? Maybe one with pictures? I have a 5 hp B&S. Thanks

and a couple more...

here are some more pics and info I should also mention that before I took ownership of the cart, my neighbor changed the diaphragm on the carb. Is it possible that this was not done correctly? I read on here somewhere you can test for air leaks by spraying WD40 on on the carb while it's...

If you were asking for a pic of the gov then I will take one tonight and post it as well as a shot of my engine and some closer shots of everything else.

Hello everyone, I just bought a Manco cart from a neighbor to use in parades. It has a 5hp B&S and is really in top notch shape. Ran the first parade quite well till the last 100 feet. It started to lose power on the turns. If I feathered the gas pedal like a maniac, I could get it to...

I am not sure about the model number but I have a MANCO cart and it uses the 5959 belt as well. It runs fast and great for the most part and the belt comes of the same way with almost no effort. I was a bit shocked when I took it off but it was running fine before so I assume that is normal...
