Why would you care if gas shot out of the plug hole? He said it just gives one click. It doesn't turn over. I think it may be a broken wire.

Are you turning the switch on? The electric start probably has an "ignition on" position and that allows spark to the plug and needs to be on for either electric or manual starting.

Take a piece of the line with you and match it.

Get one from the engine manufacturer. Go online and find the spring. Get one from a small engine repair shop.

Add an additive to the gas to eliminate any moisture in the fuel. Have you tried shooting gas into the cylinder to see if it will fire up? If it won't fire up, then there is possibly a lack of compression and needs a rebuild. The starting fluid is more volatile and will fire easier than gas.

Of course, be sure the engine fins are clean for good air around the cylinders. As your engine ages, the piston rings wear, as do, the cylinder bores. As they wear, there will be more "air" sneaking down into the oil pan/sump, past the rings causing the oil to gain temperature. When the engine...

If you have 90lbs., don't bother tearing it down. You're not going to fix much. Keep good oil in it and keep the grass clippings cleaned out/off of it so it doesn't over heat.

Thank you--how can I tell if it's a TG Torq motor?

I'm usually quite patient and can take criticism but when someone insults me and calls me an idiot, I draw the line. I agree with you about the internet being a great tool and I enjoy the forums found on here. I won't say anything on a forum that I wouldn't say to someone's face, and I wouldn't...

The Orings are probably around 4"

I want a seal/O-ring kit. There is a seal and several O-rings in these motors. The outer seal on the axle wasn't leaking, but I'll replace it while I'm in there.

Just for your info--I sent Parker all the numbers off the tag on the Parker wheel motor and the number that was stamped into the housing. This isn't my first time looking for parts. I didn't ask for the part number for the kit. I just ask where I could get a seal kit. It shouldn't matter what...

Hope I don't need to make them as, there are about 6 of them.

I already have the motor out and have numbers off it. It has an oil seal over the axle and several O-rings within the sections of the motor. I'm trying to find the seal and the O-rings. Quite sure I could get the seal separately but, I need the O-rings and probably they all come as a kit.

My Ferris 3100Z is leaking oil from the left wheel motor. The motor is a Parker and has two long numbers on the tag. I've looked for a seal/o-ring kit for it but can't find one. Anybody know where to find a kit for it? Thanks, gregjo1948
