Hi its been awhile...
Asked to get a neighbors Steiner (Husband deceased) running,
I managed to get it in neutral and with a spare battery I had it turned over and fired up on ether. I'll solve the reason it isn't getting gas this week..That isn't my problem.
Can someone give me an understanding of the controls? Is there a parking brake? Also what lifts the front attachment? I can get more pics if needed. So I have the throttle on the left, the headlight (which works )on the lower left. On the right I assume that is forward and reverse. Is it pull back for reverse with the knob on top being pushed up? Is that a parking brake lower Right? The choke is upper right behind the motivator control.
It is a B&S 18Hp engine. I found one gas petcock lower driver side of the fuel tank. It has fuel at that point. I will be replacing the fuel line and filter and making sure there is gas getting to the carb , at which point I am sure it will start as it purred when I put fuel in the carb...It is just not pumping it there. If it is a fuel pump failure I'll ask more questions on that. I want to drive it to 600 yards to my garage so I can have space and tools to work on it. It needs an oil change and the hydraulic oil changed...I'll be using a JD hydraulic oil that I use for my JD 1026R.
The elderly woman wants to be able to plow her own snow...Even tho I let her know I'll be mowing her lawn and plowing her out for as long as she is there.
Any control info would be appreciated.
Thank you
Regards
Dave
