Do you have any good links to websites that sell engine rebuild kits for Lawn Boy Lawn mowers? I think mine is in need of a rebuild after 14 years of use.

I’ll screw around with my own, not my favourite thing to work on though. But I can usually figure them out for the most part. People always tease me saying I can diagnose a newer Cadillac transmission problem but have a hard time with a stupid carburator on a small engine or even regular vehicle with a carb. Heck I wasn’t brought up on carbs! They can be a little chinese to me since I only got into this trade 7 years ago when carbs were unseen on cars.C:P

Small engines are a thing of their own.
Not much about them are like cars.

As for the lawnboy parts, I have not worked on one of them in years.
Very very hard to get parts for them, your best bet is probably going to be E-bay.

Thanks for the reply. I might just get a new mower then or see if i can hire someone to cut my grass C:P

You can get pretty good cheap new push mowers at wal-mart.

Two words for you Dreamer: Briggs & Stratton. You will never hunt for parts again.

I have not used this site, but they have kits.

Also try Jack’s Engine Repair, for general parts.

Yes Jack’s is a good place for parts.

Anyone have a good resource for tecumseh engine parts? I found several sites on google but after further inspection, they either did not sell rebuild kits or looked shady.

Thanks! One of my co-workers before he died loved Briggs and Stratton.
