This Snapper would not start so I go through the steps to figure out why. I show how to clean the carborator up to get it to run. The air filter was found on Amazon under Rotary part number 1397
Thanks for this sir. Just recued this exact mower that has been buried in my grandmothers garage for 25 years. I can't remember why we parked it but im fixing to finda out. Well after 2 rear tires fuel line , filter and the filter you needed thanks again for that and a battery. My carb bowl had a half inch of black junk in it so ill probably be doing the same thing you did there.
I have several customers who still using these older mowers and I even put a new short block on one last year, he had bought it 10 years ago just in case he needed it 😊😊😊 Smart older folks
My brother just gave me a mower just like that..yep carburetor was filthy ..he got this one from a neighbor who was moving and he gave it to him..I've got it running put a new blade on it aired up the tires ..the rear are going have to be replaced dry rotted ..it cuts fine like a golf course..I'm going to disassemble and re paint it to make look like new..I've already done the wheels..👍👍👍👍
Most riding mowers use a universal key. Most lock and key places should have one that fits or go to Amazon and order it.I would guess it would be like this one. www.amazon.com/SureFit-504-00622-Lawn-Mower-Ignition/dp/B073WDLV9G/ref=sr_1_2?crid=UEVZCO0SY2KJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ZozdjADO3R8LuStUsUuxS4nxiuUP4kmoQwXyEvbYgPsZOvU5ZHxEH5jQgqvoCMqRqZKx-SPwRHF9M0J72oxVl82LzBQZTnhec1hThLNYJfCcSeObTaj-mIge0x8DYMW_dnYhb9rlpdY_V87o0KJOEdq7S7b98M0Lsc_QylMQoRjAHkFwJrPj5wFcdCPWbFkOe99oCs8SjzGaFUdOfijMN0kG7-Upiffyc4Q6ym39bv4.W_cjHpxeRGZ0yXWtTnBs5wmu085li53CMVhrJCzMCq0&dib_tag=se&keywords=snapper+lawn+mower+replacement+key&qid=1714871238&sprefix=snapper+lawn+mower+key%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-2
I ordered mine off amazon. was not a perfect fit but was very close and easy to make work. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013XW1GE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is going to be tuff one. I had a hard time finding the air filter for it. You might have to do some engineering of one you can find to make it fit. Good luck with it.
Thank you for your video on your mower you was working on I have the same type and that's what I wanted to see where that little spring went behind that throttle plate seems to be giving me a problem you kind of let me sit in a different light in this is very good thank you much good job
