I picked up this Sears model 917.387440 6.25hp push lawnmower at a yard
sale for 5 bucks and someone had attempted to do some carb work on it
which failed miserably by looking at it. The gas line is cracked and
the jet needle was missing. Easy enough to get those parts at the
local Sears place. However, I cant really tell how the carb levers and
springs go into place, maybe Im missing another part but hard to tell.
I was hoping someone might have access to or know where I can get a
real picture of how it looks put together.
Sears engine model is 143.006200

Sponge-

Go to a Sears Service Center. You might be able to order the owners
manual for that model, but they have it on microfilm. If you explain your
problem, they should let you look at the info, and perhaps print a page
for you.

I've found them to be extremely helpful finding newer parts when older
models have been discontinued. Be sure to take along the engine model
data.

spongehead--

You seem to be plagued with mower problems--didn't you just fix a 3.5
hp mower with an idle problem. ;-))
