Cheap Amazon Briggs&Stratton (China) Carburetor was $31.27 and the Briggs&Stratton OEM Carburetor (still "Made in CN" based on the box) was $62.79.

Hello Everyone: I bought a BriggS&Stratton OEM Carburetor for this Troy Built pressure washer. The Briggs&Stratton engine runs great with the OEM Carburetor. What bothers me is why the "F" can't the F-ing Chinese make a Carburetor that is remotely reliable for F-Sakes !!!! When it is in regards...

The carburetor that I replaced was in such terrible condition it was not worth cleaning, so I bought a non-OEM carburetor of off Amazon.

Hello Firebrick: I checked the compression and it is at 80psi. I also checked the rocker arm to valve clearance and it is at .006 (inches) on both the intake and exhaust. I have attached a picture that show you the color of the spark plug.

This is the one I bought. By the way BillK the engine is a Briggs&Stratton, where is you purchase the OEM carburetor? Here is a few pictures. By the way I used 2 of 3 gaskets included in the carburetor kit, I was wondering if the gasket in the picture below (the picture with the gasket in my...

Troy Built 2800 psi 875EX Pressure Washer not running right after new Carburetor has been installed yesterday (12/30/2025). I bought a replacement carburetor on Amazon and installed it. I even took pictures before I took the old carburetor off so I know that isn't the problem. This is a...

Ryan, Steve_P said to send the ratchets back to where I bought the from. Well I technically because 1. I have already opened the set package. 2. Being that the anvil has excessive side-to-side play will probably not be considered a "Defect" per Acme Tool distributors return policy. So I am stuck...

My Gearwrench ratchets are the non-quick release type, so I doubt it will that much better in quality....Just sayin' :)

I'm a Snap-On fan as well. I even have a KMP1163 in Midnight Blue (46" tall, 29" deep and 73" Long) in mint condition and got for a $4000 I could not that pass that deal up. I will learn from this experience with respect to Gearwrench.

I highly doubt that it would cost more for Apex Tool Group to engineer precise machining specifications per the ratchet in the first place. Your argument that engineering a tool precise as opposed to "just good enough" would cost more, doesn't hold wadda (New York accent) :)

I'm glad someone else (and Ryan) agrees on the Gearwrench ratchet quality is sub par. :) I too believed the Hype on Gearwrench ratchets on Youtube reviews. So I will not be buying Gearwrench tools and anymore.

I have two Tekton ratchets and they have little side-to-side anvil play.

Steve_P and Wamsutta: I even had a Matco dealer look over my Gearwrench locking flex head ratchets (the 1/4" and 3/8") and he was even surprised of the amount of side-to-side play with the anvil (drive gear). So stop the hatin' :)

I ordered the Gearwrench first from Acme Tools online, they were on back order for 3 weeks. In the meantime I bought a Snap-On locking flex head ratchet from a local dealer that gave me a 25% discount. You assumed sorta wrong and I don't understand your point and it doesn't matter what I bought...

I know. I was very surprised to observe and feel the excessive side-to-side play in the drive gear. Even my early Craftsman ratchets do not have even close to that side-to-side play even after I bought head kits for my craftsman ratchets and put them in. On a side not, I have contacted a person...
