I am looking for a parts diagram on this motor and possible links to parts. I am in need of the clear plastic bowl on the bottom of the carb and do not know what it is called or what the part # might be. Thanks

Filter bowl part number BRP 303121 list $31.19.

You might want to check out a slavage yard.

I am wondering if someone would be so kind as to post a picture of the carb linkage on this motor. I think I am missing a part or two. Thanks

So I was able to get this little motor to come to life but she doesn't want to idle very good. The carb is clean but I think I am having issuses with the pressure tank. Also, while the motor is running water seems to be coming out down by where the shift lever connects to the motor. It almost looks like a grease zerk fitting. Is this normal. Thanks

It is not normal, but it is fairly common. There is an o-ring around the shifter shaft and if it leaks it will blow water through. Could be the o-ring is shot or could be that the hole that it fits in is worn and loose.

Will it hurt anything? Well, it will wash the grease out and that will cause even more wear over a long time. But it won't affect the use of the motor for right now.
