quite a few designs to this carb - my 'autoreturn choke " troybilt mower has a lot of moving/interacting parts that are hard to see as you take it apart, and a drawing for it is hard to locate on the internet.. Mine has less gaskets than most of the diagrams i found, from engine I have only: a paper gskt, plastic insulator, sheet gasket, carb, gskt, steel spacer, second gasket, then airbox. On reassembly, the black choke control on top of the carb has a top pin that has to sit left of the 3" choke finger (steel bar). The choke position spring looked correct too, but it popped out of the drillhole but was still hooked on the arm. It looked OK, but wasn't able to force the choke to reopen properly . Once I rehooked it in the drill hole, all was fine. Finally the govenor rod and spring were twisted around each other- they should be parallel, with the stiff rod thru the coiled portion of the spring only.

low freon will prevent the compressor from cycling on for most cars. on most cars you can disconnect battery for several minutes and than restart car and the a/c should cycle on for 10 seconds or so. if your car does this than it probably is low on freon. you can put a gauge set on the car and check systems pressures. static should be 75psi or so. if nothing works than it could be on the control side of system. most shops start by checking system pressures.

Cjheck, sorry, I forgot your original question. If the a/c isn't coming on at all (compressor does not start when you turn the a/c on), then you could have a bad switch or you could be low on refrigerant. (The system won't start if the refrigerant is too low.) You don't need to go to the dealer, but you do need a shop that regularly works on a/c systems. Check your local yellow pages. The price to fix is hard to estimate without knowing what's wrong. If it's just low on refrigerant, it'll need to be leak tested, and any leaks will need to be fixed, and then it'll have to be recharged. Ask the shop to diagnose the problem and provide you with a written estimate before making repairs. Assuming the compressor itself isn't bad and there aren't any other major problems, this shouldn't be extremely expensive; hopefully it won't be out of the $100 to $150 range.

There is an art to doing a refresh, especially when you really want to gut and start anew. Regarding your style preferences, everyone has her own idea of what French Country is. It might not be right for your space, and it might not match the architecture of your home. Traditional kitchens are also so detailed they look best when there's sufficient room for the busier elements to shine. Although you have a large enough space, your kitchen seems to be concentrated in one corner of it. That might make both of those looks hard to achieve beautifully in your home. How would you feel about a contemporary kitchen like Christine40's above, perhaps with a few Traditional or French Country elements added in? Here's what I'd do - others have recommended some of these options already: 1.) Paint the cabinets. Right now your kitchen is the wood equivalent of a jeans suit, and that won't change even if you do buy stainless appliances. If you paint the cabs a white (like Picket Fence White below, Ralph Lauren paint) or grey the granite will look fantastic, and the white appliances won't stick out quite so much. That'll give you the option to change them out when budget and time allows (and your Dear Husband is on board). Picket Fence White 2.) Remove the micro hood, and replace with a more modern under-cabinet range hood. 3.) Replace the table and chairs with a narrower rectangular table and bench seat and place chairs on the other sides (per cheify76). This is the Boulangerie table from Restoration Hardware. 4.) Paint your walls a pale green, blue, or grey - based on the colors I see in your granite, that admittedly, I can't see very well. These are Ralph Lauren paints. Montauk Driftwood Whisper River Rapids 5.) You already have can lights (maybe re-take some pics of the granite when these are on?). The other fixtures are easily changed. Over the island, you might like the industrial pulley, or clemson double pendants from Restoration Hardware: And over the table, perhaps RH Foucault's Orb chandelier 6.) Backsplash. Change it. Maybe glass subway tile all one color? Maybe a mosaic? It all depends on your other choices... Good luck! More info from you, and better lit images of the granite will help GWers be more creative when it comes time to choose colors.
