Shynon 7,427 #2 Posted February 11, 2016 I have used those kits. Have yet to find a bad check valve. Usually the diaphragm is bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikehusky455 16 #5 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I was thinking of that . I just orderd the new pump 28 dollars and new carb,for 36 dollars.,not gona be running voltage reg. as original is blown and also may need different stator,the wires look melted so need to get flywheel off and have a look.plus electric pto don't work anyways,will only be using out in woods with the 3pt and plowing snow,.i could I think hook up a alternator like I seen others do and go that route for keeping battery charged,and small lights.so no need for a lot of electrical on this machine,. plus ignition switch no good,so just need basics, start ,shut off and charge Edited February 12, 2016 by mikehusky455 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
