Also; when I checked the voltage on the Solenoid when I had my positive lead on the battery post connection and when I tested the other 3 post on the Solenoid I was showing 12.30v on each post with the key in the off position. Are these readings right? Thanks

My brother in law has a Scag Liberty Z with a Kohler KT725 engine and it won't start sometimes. Battery is fine, checked all safety switches and seat and brake switches and they're testing ok but the engine won't try to start with the key ignition. You can hear the fuel Solenoid click when you...

They are way out of smack.

I'm working on a Husqvarna LGT 2554 lawn tractor and the front tires are bowed in at the top on both sides. What all do I need to change out to correct this problem? Does Husqvarna have a complete steering rebuild kit for it? If so; what would be the part number? Thanks in advance to anyone who...

Do you also have to remove #10 in the diagram. The bolt that holds the pulley to the bracket?

Thanks so much on your reply. I was thinking about taking those screws out but didn't. I haven't come up with many ideas. But again thanks for your response.

Can someone give me some advice on how to put a drive belt on a MTD Craftsman LT2000 46" cut mower? The variable speed pulley is sitting right back against the back frame of the body of the mower and there's no way to get the old belt off to even try to put a new one on. I've changed many drive...

bertsmobile1; what did that tell you when I tested my flywheels with a magnet?

bertsmobile1; how do I go about matching a coil with a flywheel? How do I test the stock/old coil to see if it's bad? Thanks

bertsmobile1; when I checked those flywheels the stock one was off the engine on my work bench and the new one was on the engine crank; does that affect the test I did? Didn't know if both of them was supposed to be off or on the engine. Thanks

I just put new oil seals on the crankshaft.

bertsmobile1; I couldn't stand it so I went out to the shop and did that test. On the stock flywheel the magnet to the right would attract my magnet and the magnet on the left would repel it. The new flywheel both magnets would attract my magnet. What does this mean; if anything?

Ok I'll do that in the morning. Thanks

bertsmobile1; I appreciate your help but you might as well be trying to teach me algebra or some foreign language. I can't understand what you're trying to tell me. Thanks though; I really appreciate it.

bertsmobile1; please try to explain it to a dumb old country boy where I might understand how to do what your suggesting. Thanks for the input.

Fish; I've tried it with the kill switch wires unhooked; I might not have tried starting it without squeezing the throttle trigger. But I think I have but I'll try it.

The position of the magnets looks the same don't they? It's an aftermarket coil; but the old one looks the same way.

Fish here's a picture of the flywheel magnets at TDC.

The trimmer had been running good until he let his brother-in-law use it and he thought he had just flooded it and it hasn't ran since which leaves us to where we're at right now.

I'll check that tomorrow. Thanks

Yeah; but still no start; not even tries to hit. So frustrating.

Yeah I checked the key and the spark arrestor and both of them are fine. Alimony I do have a new engine but I stock the parts it's just I hate for something like this to puzzle me. I'm bound and determined to get this trimmer running.

Isn't there anyone out there can give me a fix on this FS-38 trimmer? I've tried everything to no avail. Thanks

EBay has the Zama RB-161 repair kits. I seen one for$10.50 with free shipping.

I'll change out the flywheel and coil and see what that does. Could the oil seals be sucking air ;enough to make it not hit?

I'm working on a Stihl FS 38 trimmer that a friend said he couldn't get it started. I checked the compression and it had 90#. I then checked the spark and it was kinda eratic so I put a new coil and flywheel on it Finally getting a spark but still won't start. I then put on a new cylinder with...

I have a neighbor that bought a new Husqvarna with a 24 hp engine and when he has it at low idle it sets there and surges back and forth (rpm wise) but when he increases the throttle to high it smoothes out and sounds fine. What could be the cause and fix for this rpm surging issue at low idle...

What would cause a primer bulb to not want to pump up? Also the primer bulb that was on this leaf blower was deteriorated over 50 percent and the blower would run; what's up with that? I thought if one had a hole in it the engine wouldn't run. Please someone help me to understand this!!!!!! Thanks
