Just wondering if anyone has seen the LH idler pulley mount broken out. This the newer style deck where they change the Idler pulley mount. I repaired one Saturday that just hanging by a thread. Don't appear to rust damage just appears to be metal fatigue from stress. Well anyway I re-welded things as close back the original location as I could get it. Repainted the area with rust resistant paint. If it does it again then I would either add a re-enforcing plate or replace the deck shell.
Customer also changed the fuel filter which lead to the carburetor leaking. Two possible causes here. 1> trash was found in the fuel bowl and 2> fuel solenoid was slightly loose by a half thread. Cleaned the fuel bowl and tighten the solenoid and no leaks overnight on that Ruixing carburetor. BTW the fuel solenoid uses a 12mm double flat instead of the 1/2" (13mm) version on the Nikki and Walbro carbs.
