    Coil testing

    Update: I received a new coil and installed it and set the head space using a business card since a feeler gauge doesn’t work with the magnets. Disconnected the switch and still no spark. Did I get a bad coil or is there anything I can do short of pitching the thing in the trash?

    Coil testing

    I’m working on a Troy bilt weed eater tb575-ec four stroke with a no spark condition. The switch is good and not grounded. The coil from spark plug cap to ground on coil reads 2.2k ohms. I read it should be 2.5-5.0k ohms. Is mine bad or close enough? I cleaned the magnets on the flywheel and...

    Strange rocker arm observation

    Here is my problem which I should have asked first. I was mowing just fine when the mower quit like the key was turned off. I cranked it again and it started and mowed another hundred feet and died again. I noticed the fuel filter had no fuel in it. I cranked a few more times and it started so I...

    Strange rocker arm observation

    Well my owners manual states which end of the mower is the front and how to operate the key and to not run over your kids. I’ll try and find a shop manual for the engine.

    Strange rocker arm observation

    Oops, I set the lash at TDC on comp and power stroke. Did I do it backwards?

    Strange rocker arm observation

    Okay thank you. Next step is compression and it sits at 125 but I seem to remember that below 135 is bad. I know these are hard on gaskets.

    Strange rocker arm observation

    I am working on a B&S 21HP single cylinder model 331877 1449g1 and noticed while checking valve lash that at TDC between the compression and power stroke the gap was good however after rotating the engine to TDC between exhaust and intake, both rockers are tight. Is this correct? Thanks.

    Briggs and Stratton valve push rod

    Thanks for the replies. My son checked the valve guides and says they are firmly seated flush with the head casting. I have no idea why it bent but I have received the new push rods so I will be installing them tomorrow. Question: do I find TDC and then back the flywheel counterclockwise so the...

    Briggs and Stratton valve push rod

    I'M working on my sons Ariens riding mower with a B and S engine 31C707-0603-G1 and suspected a bad head gasket. Ordered it and when removing the push rods I noticed one was bent. It was the lower which I think is the intake. Pulled the head, replaced the gasket, which looked fine and ordered...

    B & S valve adjustment

    Rivets, thanks for the link. It is the best one I have seen and I think I have a no compression problem so off comes the head and go for there.

    B & S valve adjustment

    I have a Briggs and Stratton 21 hp 331877 1449 g1 that i suspect the valves need adjustment. Does any one know what the gap should be? Also, is there a place to get a shop manual for this engine? The owners manual is worthless.

    B & S fuel pump question

    I have a Briggs and Stratton 21 hp engine model 331877 type 1449 G1 and removed the two hoses from the fuel pump to remove the engine shroud. One is from the fuel tank and the other is from the crankcase which I assume is to actuate a diaphragm in the pump. I didn't pay attention to which went...

    Need Help Deciphering A Model Number Sticker

    I purchased an Ariens riding lawn mower and I am trying to figure out the sticker. First, in the upper right is a serial number where the first six digits are 120709. Could this by chance be the year of manufacture such as 12/07/2009? Second, upper left has a box labeled product # and...

    Ariens lawn tractor brakes

    I just acquired an Ariens lawn tractor, model 936047 but the brakes are kaput. I took the brake assembly off and found what I would consider the actuator pins are frozen and do not move. Notice under the model number 42 GRAR DRIVE. Well it is a 42 GEAR DRIVE. So much for proof reading! The...

    Hour meter for Craftsman tractors

    I have a 2010 Craftsman YTS 3000 that did not have an hour meter but the dash has a space for it and the wiring harness also. Took 10 minutes to install. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part-number/586161801/0071/917.html?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=remarketing&utm_campaign=Criteo2016&sid=rtg:crt

    Craftsman YTS3000 Deck Belt

    Update: Received the new cable and compared it to the old, same length. Put it on and fired up the tractor, engaged the blades and they work! I don't know if it was a weak spring on the old cable os a combination of new belt and cable but 80 bucks later, I'm good to go. Thanks for your replies.

    Craftsman YTS3000 Deck Belt

    My blades do not spin when engaged so I ordered a new deck belt assuming the old one had stretched. Received it today and no difference. The only other thing I can think of is the cable to engage the the tension pulley so I ordered it. Is there a place to find the length of this cable when new...
