Lawn mower repairs

It is time to mow again... well it has been, but I am finally getting around to fixing my push mower that I use for touch up, small areas, etc. Bring it out for the season and of course it will not start. Spray some starter fluid in, it kicks over a few putt putts... Drained any old gas out, replaced with fresh - still nothing.

The motor is a TB105b - a quick search on amazon and it looks like replacement carbs are only available for model TB110 and up. Nothing for the 105b. The one for the 110 looks very similar, so I ordered it.


Received it, and it is basically the same, with an additional lever to control the choke. Apparently the TB105b just has the choke locked in the open position. I am going to get working on it later today, and hopefully I can report back that with a simple mod, the TB110 carb will work fine on the TB105b.
