I have a kawi FD791D fuel injected v twin on a scag mower. It was working fine one day and the next nothing. It pops out the intake and backfires out the exhaust while cranking but never starts up, sounds like it wants to. Checked fuel pressure from the fuel pump by plugging the line with my...

Would anyone buy one of those really cheap chainsaws off of ebay. The look promising but I am wondering if anyone on here has any experience with one of them. Here are the two that I have been looking at: Timberpro 62cc Petrol Chainsaw 20" Bar 2X Saw Chain Alloy Assisted Start | eBay 52cc 22"...

I am going to assume you are talking about a 782D? And by ball joint you mean tie rod end, because the front axles on these use king pins. Anyway, to replace the tie rod end it just unscrews lefty loosey off the tie rod. I put a diagram off of a parts website that you can look at. The tire rod...

I have a cub cadet 1320 and the deck doesn't shut off when I release the engage lever. It just stays on all the time. I took off the deck and was very surprised to find that I couldn't even figure out how the tensioner system worked on this mower. When the lever is engaged it moves this pad...

I have a John Deere walk behind mower that has an intermittent issue that isn't so intermittent anymore. It used to only happen sometimes but now it wont go away and I cant mow. The thing starts and runs just fine, but when I put it into gear it just shuts off. I know it isn't a seat safety...

I want to remove the flywheel from a lawn tractor and I have seen people say that you should use "black impact" sockets and not chrome ones. Will I break the chrome socket? Are the black ones stronger? Whats the difference between black and chrome sockets?

I have a Kohler CV16S mounted on a wheel horse 252h and at the moment the engine is running without a muffler. I need to make a mount for a muffler, but until then. I was running it tonight and I saw it would spark and some flames would come out of the exhaust. Is this normal. Maybe when I mount...

I found a guy on craigslist selling a set of rear lug tread tires for a lawn tractor. They are the right size for my wheel horse. He wants $40 for them and will not budge on the price. Is this a good deal. I want the tires but only if im not getting ripped off. I don't know too much about lawn...

I just mounted a new engine om my wheel horse 252 h tractor. The engine is a Kohler cv16s 16.5hp. I took this engine off of a craftsman 917.271140 tractor. I got it mounted on the wheel horse but now I'm very confused with how to wire this engine. I took all the wires off the craftsman and...

A recent post about an ignition issue im having is what this post relates to. I read through the service manual for my kawasaki engine and it says I could be experiencing a demagnetized flywheel. Anyone know how to fix that?

I have a wheel horse 252h with a kawasaki FB460V engine. I just ordered a new ignition because there was no spark. The new ignition arrived, I just installed it and still no spark. I even unplugged the ground wire from the ignition and no spark. Does anyone know what is wrong? When I bought...

Does the spacing of the igntion from the flywheel have any effect on the timing of the engine or the strength of the spark?

I just got a new old tractor from someone down the road this weekend. It is in very nice condition except for the hydro drive. The lever will not go al the way forward in the forward position. I will in the reverse though. So the tractor cant reach its max speed going forward because the lever...

Im looking to get a self propelled snowblower but they are all so expensive. I walk into Home Depot and they're all around $700! And Home Depot has crap! When I go into a Toro dealer they're around the same $700 price but I know they're better quallity, but still too much money. What is a good...

If I were to put a smaller pulley on the rear of my old craftsman 5 speed maual to make it go faster, how fast could I get it to go. And how small of I pulley could I get away with without loosing so much torque that I wouldn't be able to get a a big hill? The engine is a 1985 B&S 11HP flathead.

I have an old lawn tractor that I just got. I think its a 1986 model. I got it all cleaned up, including the carb and air filter. Maybe I didn;t clean the carb well enough. The tractor will only run with the choke on and it backfires A LOT. When I turn the choke off the mower goes off. I think...

I just got a mower from this guy. Its a self propelled craftsman with and Eager engine on it. The mower will start if I spray some gas into the intake but the carb is having some issues. There is a clog somewhere between the nylon fuel intake and where ever it goes from there. I have sprayed and...

When I see all of the new lawn tractors I notice that none of them have manual transmisions anymore. Why is that. All of them are hydros. I think that the ones with manual transmisions are better workhorses. If you do a lot of heavy towing and dragging the hydrostatic pump in the transmision...

I bought a new push mower this spring and it has worked wonderfully since I bought it. Yesterday I was mowing the the lawn and it just stopped. I had just started mowing, I had made 5 passes or so and the thing just stopped. It has plenty of gas, new oil, nothing is tied up on the blades, spark...

I swapped the engine in my lawn tractor and now it will only run when I pour gas directly into the carburetor. The old engine was junky so I put this other b&s OHV in it. Extra info: New engine currently in mower: craftsman OHV B&S model: 28N707, type: 0162-01, code: 9503314A Old engine that...
