Mods please move if a better location for this.
I have a John Deere JS48 mower that we spent $128 getting repaired shortly after I got out of the hospital. Problem was not fixed and it was returned for repair but still has the same problem. In will not stay running over a few minutes. The repair guy said it was the carb and that he repaired it.
I found new carbs for it on Amazon for around $20 and I am thinking for ordering one and trying to repair the mower myself before next spring. Is there anything I need to know or look out for? Kit includes the gaskets and I assume I will need casket sealer, anything else you can think of? I am not a good mechanic but I do a lot of repairs like rebuilding our dryer, replacing the hot water tank dip tube, etc, etc. Anyway I am willing to give it a shot since I will need to have work done on our riding mower before spring too.
