Russ When I fabbed the first mount A belt dealer went to great lengths to find one`. He finally found one like you about 47" but only available in a width of about 1". This belt didn't last any time and it shredded. I modified my mount to allow the stock belt tio fit. On the stock belt, do some googling. I found one under 100.

I. Fabbed a new motor mount for. That purpose. You have to check clearance on the shifting lever. If u are unable to do that you will have to call the belt dealers online till u find one that will help you. They are cheaper anyway.

Russvato What engine do you have in the BD300? The link I provided above fits an L3 which is not the same as a BD300. If you have a kohler engine the part # you need is 2*20693.and are cheaper belts out there. Just google.

Just where would this evidence be found?

Dennis See post 10 and 11 for shifting and 15 to adjust belt

SHIFTING ISSUES WITH ALL BULLDOGS Find your manual or look up one online . Find the section on adjusting shifting cables and follow them to the "T". Don't skip any steps thinking this is easy. Don't ask me how I know! It all starts under the hood, not behind the seat. Don't skip any steps!

Russvato, You say belt is too tight. Have you loosened hold down bolts on engine and let it slide backwards. that's how you adjust tension on these machines.

Do you have the single throat or two barrel carb? What is it doing that makes you think it is the needle valve? I would have to tear into it more than I want to for pics of the detail. If you can't look at it and see what is required I don't recommend you attempting it. Again, what is it doing that makes you think it is the needle valve. You can get overhaul kit for briggs two barrel online relatively inexpensive and the internal parts should fit the Subaru carb. Another thing you can try is lapping your needle valve with a small amount of toothpaste. Sometimes that will fix it up.

Not familiar with your machine but sounds like an air leak to me. Check all gaskets and hoses.

What a find.

Wow--What a Christmas gift. Predator or Subaru?

@EGY You can get a copy of the manual here. It might cost you a few bucks but it won't let me forward my copy. https://subaru-robin.servicemanualvault.com/Subaru-Robin-EH65-Engine-Service-Manual.html

Hi Jim, Merry Christmas to you and yours also, I saw somewhere you can order flange with stub out for that engine. You might weld flex hose onto stub and run it wherever you have to. If i see it again i'll post it to you. Wow, where did you see that engine for $100. Might be a scam. check close.

@EGY Merry Christmas ! Couldn't find the one I was looking for but these should help you. One thing I can tell you is they are almost identical to the Nikki used on the Briggs engines.except if you can find one for the Subaru it might be 300 bucks and you can find Briggs Carbs in the aftermarket for 35 dollars. I have taken a briggs carb and drilled out the shafts to move to the opposite side to make it fit subaru linkage and moved the intake tube for fuel also. You can buy overhaul kits very reasonable for briggs that will work on the Sub. Mostly just gaskets and o-rings.
