11HP Snapper rear engine rider linkage

17 years ago

I purchased a Snapper Model 6 RER with B&S 11HP Industrial engine. I would like to have a picture of the carburetor linkage if anyone can provide me with one.

We'll need the: Model, Type, and Code numbers that are usually stamped into the flywheel cover. these numbers tell us what to look for so we can help!
Also, Sears web-site is: www3.sears.com
Poke around in there for more info!
I have several older Snapper RER riders, with Briggs on them. The cable runs from the throttle handle around and under the gas tank, and hooks up with a "slider" on the square metal box that is bolted to the engine. I can't tell if yours is the same, without numbers!

Thanks for the response Rusty. My engine numbers are:
Model 253707, Type 0206 01, Code 87060910. My throttle cable also hooks to the square "slider" on the engine like you describe.

I am primarily interested in the linkage between the govenor arm behind the box that is attached to the engine and the choke and throttle plate on the carburetor. I'm pretty confident that mine has been "modified" somewhere along the line. The engine starts and runs but I'd like to know if the linkage is correct.

Hi snapper6xs. Are you still running? I have a 1991 RER with an 11 hp Briggs Intek, also intermittent no-spark situation. I replaced the magneto (it always seemed to die just when it got hot) rebuilt the carb, pulled the head and cleaned carbon off cylinder and valves, and replaced the safety switch interlock thingy. I seemed good for two cuttings and POW, it dies on me yesterday. I pulled the red wire off the post with the magneto kill wire and nothing. Then I pulled the magneto kill wire and it fired right off. Can that terminal block that it connects to expand and cause a ground situation when the block is hot? If so, what's the fix?

It is in the wheel/ hub section of the diagram. You may want to visit Snapper.com and seek the manual. These are serviced somewhat differently than a "normal" rider. Then you will have the correct way to make adjustments, check oil level etc...

How about just get a new Snapper RER and paint it yellow and green? Seriously, I vote for the Snapper. I think you'll appreciate the later model RER with bigger engine, but you'll miss some of the older models' features that are no longer allowed due to "safety" and/or cost concerns. My idea of an ideal mower for my conditions (similar to yours)- would be a completely restored "white handlebar" model with 30" deck and minumum of 12 HP electric-start motor. This one has the spring-mounted seat, which is a lot easier on my old spine. The front end counterweights would probably be a good safey addition to counteract tendancy to do "wheelies". Also the front Tote-bucket is cool (don't know if still available).

"It almost feels like a tooth is missing on a gear and the chain is 'jumping' over the missing tooth." Yah, could be. I recommend standing it on its rear standards, after taking necessary precautions with the battery and gas tank. Grasp both wheels and give a vigerous pull then push on both of them at the same time. Do this at various intervals all the way around a time or two. Then try each wheel separately. Do you feel anything catch, jump, etc? It could be the teeth of one of the axle shafts have worn out or some gears are pressed on the short, right hand, axle shafts and they some times come off. Might be a chain as you said or a spider gear in differential. Hope it is not an axle ass'y problem as they are no longer available aftermarket and going to be expensive from Snapper. Walt Conner
