My old gilson is acting up again, when I got it I replace the magneto with a electronic one, I cleaned the v=carb and re-adjusted it, working OK for a while, I...
My guess is it's still a fuel problem. Did you actually rebuild the carb or just clean it? Does it falter after running a while or from the start? It's usually...
Dying. Bill ... From: Ingo Rautenberg To: gilsonsnowblowers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 10:23 AM Subject: Re: [gilsonsnowblowers]...
Does it run for a minute or 2 before dying, or does it just not run at all? Check carefully that all of the governor linkage can move through its full travel...
Is this a re-branded Gilson of some sort or is it someone else such as MTD? I question because none of the Gilsons use gear oil. If you are using the wrong...
... Hmm. Maybe if you have the model number and serial number you can get the info from Troy-Bilt through their website? That is if they still have it fro pre...
1. I don't know. 2. I think you need specific models even for someone that does know. 3. Try a more general small engine forum. Most engines were available...
Speaking of manuals, does anyone know where to get manuals for toros? Dad was given one and the guy can't find the manuals for it, it has no first gear so even...
I don't think that is likely to work. to remove the input shaft from the gearcase, it has to come out through the front of the gearcase, or at least out...
I have moved on. See my photos. Since I had bent the pulley using a puller and I have found a new pulley I went ahead and cut it off. Yeah it felt good. The...
I have a Gilson 476D that is moving snow about 5-7 feet. Other than that the machine seems to work just fine. I have: - replaced all fluids and greased all...
That certainly should do it..bit of overkill, but it will work. May be a bit difficult aligning it to the engine pulley since I don't think you can just reach...
If you are going to try another belt, get the correct belt from Toro, by the time you buy 2 belts, the cost is nearly the same and you still aren't sure if the...
The new cast pulley looks like will work. I will take some measurements to verify before I try it. I will need to put it on with the hub towards the auger,...
I too have considered putting a stronger spring on the ilmeller tensioner, has anyone ever tried this? What were the results. Bill ... From: larsgberglund To:...
With the right belt and clean pulleys there is simply no need to mess with the spring choice. Belt engagement design is not the weak link. A stronger spring...
I have to agree with Pete on this, you are going to stress many more parts on this machine if you put a stronger spring on it. Ya you could put one on it, ya...
Yeah, I've worked for people who have the mentality that Toro has with what is left of the Gilson parts. They think that because they have one of the few...
The engine bearings are the most replaceable part of the parts you listed:-) if the snow is light, throwing it twice is an option as you work toward the edge....
I need to work on my carb, lets see what hapens when it warms up. I always drain the tank, fuel lines and carb before putting it away in the spring. I have...
Snapper we was an independent manufacturer as of 2-3 years ago when they were purchased by Simplicity. Current machines are probably rebranded Simplicity's or...
Interesting information on Snapper and Simplicity. Its getting so that you need a game card to know who builds what and which year Checked out the Snapper. The...
The consolidation in the industry is astounding. If you go to my lnks page and start clicking you will see how many brands dead and alive lead to the same...
Thank you all for your thoughts. The machine itself appears to have no mechanical damage the chute is in good shape with some missing paint but no tangible...
Kinda off topic but I figure if anyone will know, it will be you fellows. I am looking at roto-tillers in preparation for my garden this spring and I think I...
