Carburetor adjustment or if unattainable rebuild the carb. about $20 and 1/2 hr Before you start messing with the carburetor, check the air and fuel filters.

Go to your local autoparts store and by the rebuild kit according to your carburetor. Inside the box will be an exploded diagram of the carb which will make it relativly simple to rebuild First of all what kind of engine do you have. Briggs and Stratton or Tecumseh.

To change the needle and seat on a 6.0- hp Briggs Quantum engine, you will need to first locate the carburetor. Remove the carburetor from the engine, then disassemble it to access the needle and seat. Replace the old needle and seat with new ones, then reassemble the carburetor and reinstall it on the engine.
