10 gallons for the year? Are you sure especially if you mow once a week till fall.

I can go through 10 gallons a month and have done so many times.If you use these machines as most here, you have way more than one and spares for expendables is part of the hobby.In my case I hate to describe my use of the Horse as a hobby.I work mine hard and often.

I spend 12 hrs a year riding it and 24 hrs working on it. I would like to buy a C-160

I did away with the screen in the tank and put a good inline fuel filter on my  :wh:. Now I can see if the fuel is flowing ok form the tank. And a lot easier to change.

To that end I also have changed ALL our tractors and other small engine machines to see through line. Bought a roll from @A-Z Tractor Lincoln.

Makes diagnosis easier and can see foreign matter in the system.

We'll try to reduce that ratio a bit.

 

C160.... Yeah. :handgestures-thumbupright:

Hi all

i got my shutoff and grommet yesterday. When I remove and install is this the correct method?

1) pull the valve first then pry out grommet

2) then install new grommet first then push in valve.

or

install and remove as an assembly

thanks

:text-yeahthat: and use a bit of motor oil to lube up that grommet first.

Okay thanks, so do not install as an assembly correct? Oil is a good idea.

I do not like to put oil on rubber fittings, I've used a little squirt of carb and choke cleaner. Anything wet will help it slid together easier.

That works too, and just a small bit of oil wont hurt even WD40 just something to lube it before installing.
