Can I upgrade my Walbro WA-59 Carburetor?

Got an older Mantis Tiller with a Walbro WA-59 carburetor. Tired of rebuilding and cleaning, etc. Can I upgrade this to a newer carb that will fit my older tiller?

What kinds of trouble are you having? I've got one and have never had to touch it.

Silver Eagle 32BC Trimmer won't start

D

diyflunkie on Sep 03, 2012

We have a gas trimmer that has been acting up. When we get it started...it will only run with the throttle wide open. After running for about 30 mins it stopped and we could not get it started. Replaced spark plug but it still will not start at all. Any ideas on what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!!Read More

John Deere 38 STX stalls occasionally?

C

Chevydan on Aug 30, 2012

My John Deere 38 STX lawn tractor has started and issue in the last month of "stalling out"! Each time, I was able to start it again and it would run. I changed the ignition module a few months back and it ran really good for a long time. This "stalling thing" is just recently. After it stalled the first few times, I replaced the fuel filter and again, it seemed to run fine after that. Then it stalled again. I noticed "bubbles" in the fuel filter, and I opened the gas tank and then it was like the fuel started to flow in the filter and the bubbles went away. Today, it started to stall again so with the engine running, I lifted the hood and opened the gas tank and the engine came out of the stall. It tried a few times after that to stall, this time as I tried to climb a hill with the tractor. Is the new fuel filter to restrictive? I need some help here. If anyone has an idea what it might be, I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks.Read More
