| here is an easy way to get rid of those stupid carb silinoids! go find a push mower carb and take the bolt out of the bottom of the carb: ![mods & tips Projec59](https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/18/62/03/97/projec59.jpg) now you have to grind it down about 1/4", get the best gasket you have, take the silinoid out of your carb, and put this one in. this is what you would thake out: ![mods & tips Projec60](https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/18/62/03/97/projec60.jpg) this helps clear up your wiring and engine bay. you can also just cut the plunger off of the end of it if you want. | |

| I took the pulley off and manually took the belt and put it in the "V" pocket. It didn't hug the belt on the sides, just on the inside flat part. | |

| if you do a pulley swap and you can't get the right belt, or you are to cheap to buy a new one, just use idier pulleys to put tension on the belt ![mods & tips Projec83](https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/18/62/03/97/projec83.jpg) I did this to my brother's white (MTD) yesterday to, got to post how I did that too. ![mods & tips Icon_razz](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_razz.gif) | |

| when placing a double pulley clutch, try to get the flat pulley as close as possible to the trans pulley... more wrap around the pulley means less slippage. Be sure to place the clutch on the slack side of the belt. | |
