Hi there
I am in the process of re-building a Greenfield Tractor 8 that I have inherited. it was chewing oil, blowing smoke, and would only run for a couple of minutes before the spark plug would give up from being covered in gunk.
it has B&S engine 191702 2144-01 83062410
I have replaced the rings, and tapped the valves along with new gaskets and seals.
I am just in the process of putting it back together, however i cannot for the life of me find the throttle link and spring. I think they may be lost.
I have looked online, and it looks like I can easily replace the spring (P/N 261911), however the link seems to be an issue (P/N 261611). It looks like the only option is to ship it from the US at nearly $70 (FOR A PIECE OF WIRE! :o)
Does anyone have any other ideas for the linkage? Can they be made from a piece of wire?
There is another part P/N (260971) which appears to be for the models pre 1982 (pre 82121010) , that is available in Australia, would that be close enough?
thanks for any help
Glen
