    As the title says, I am currently looking for a good used carb, or any help in finding a rebuild kit. I have yet to tear it down and see what carb it has on it, but any help or leads is appreciated. :)

    Thanks

    Dex

    Kill switch didn't work, ended up just being unhooked under the switch. Quick fix...

    May need a fuel line in the future, but that will be an easy and cheap fix. Carb was the culprit and air screw was about 4 turns out. 1.5 turns and she runs great..

    Mental note. Don't stand downwind from this machine. I was covered in dust!! :(

    I walked a lot of the ditch I just dug to my pond and this thing will flip the dirt right back into the ditch! I am in love already! :)

    You tried to be as lazy as I was... Glad to see that you got it sorted out, I told you it was the cat's meow. When winter hits, give us a video cleaning snow off the porch.

    Another satisfied customer!l

    :D

    I was only taking it apart to get the cab number, but it was so easy to tear down, I just kept going.

    It really is a running machine. The video doesn't give the paddle speed justice. Those paddles are really turning some RPM's.

    And I bet you got more dirt back in the hole with little to zero damage to the lawn.

    No lawn damage :)

    The dirt that was a pain to get out of the grass or the hard clay bits that were stuck to the grass just got thrown back in the ditch.

    Phenomenal machine..

    We used to use them to push the slurry of mud, deck "droppings" (anybody who cleans underneath other people's mowers knows exactly what I'm talking about), and grass clippings off the wash area (asphalt) when I worked for a mower shop. Much faster than the pressure washer and less mess.

    You will keep finding new things to do with it.

    Central Equipment here in Lexington is a Shinny dealer, they have been able to get parts for my equipment. I will need to look, I think I may have bought some sort of part for it after I got it.
