QuestionQUESTION: mtd chipper-shredder w/5hp briggs-straton wont start. I got this used and it was in real good shape but had fuel left in it for afew years,so it was all dried out.I'm trying to find a carb kit for it. This is all the info I have on it "lot-model 241-645-000" and "mfg date 5281a1". The carb has no markings on it at all.Any help would be great!
ANSWER: Hello Bill:
>>According to my Search, this is a 1991 Chipper/Shredder manufactured by MTD.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Unit at this Site Addy, http://www.smallenginepartswarehouse.com/parts.asp and Select the Shop Online Parts Look Up. Then Select the Model Tab. Then Select the OEM (MTD) and Enter the Model Numbers (241-645-000). Then Double Click on the Model in the Results Area. Now you can Select the Section of the Unit you Wish to View.
>>The Breakdown does Not Show the Engine Used.
>>Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. The Engine Model Numbers May be Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.
Good Luck

AnswerHello Again Bill:
>>Without Engine Model and Type Numbers it is going to be Hard to Locate the Carburetor Kit or Any Other Parts for this Engine.
>>You can take the Unit to your Local Repair Service and they can Identify the Engine for you or you can Attach a Picture of the Engine to a Follow Up Question and I Might be able to Identify the Engine from that and Better Assist you.
>>As Always, If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.
