    Another Newbie looking for Z Turn advice 2.5 acr

    Definitely a 72" if it is wide open space with few trees and few tight alleys. Badboy and Spartan are producing some great machines with 72" decks. If you want the best ride, get a Ferris. Hands down the best ride quality. A 72" is not hard at all to manage. It's as easy as a 60" and you...

    Edelbrock Electric Fuel Pump For IS3000Z

    Something else to check is the fuel line itself. I had a starving issue some time back. Disconnected the fuel line from the pump and fuel flowed nicely. Engine still starved when ran after 15 seconds or so. Put a separate feeder line in a bucket of fuel and it would run fine and not starve...

    Best upper end residential zero turn

    1.5 Mowing Acres will be best with a 54" mower or larger. You can go smaller, but why? Budget is the factor. 1.5 acres on a 54" is about an hour or less. A Cub Cadet Ultima 54" ZT1 with a Kohler motor will get you a decent mower with a Fabricated deck and easy maintenance and wide parts...

    Mower for 6 to 7 acres

    We mow 6 acres weekly. Even on a fast 72" it will take a great deal of time especially with the number of trees you mention. I have a 72" Ferris IS4000Z with mulching blades and it never leaves a windrow. Figure 20 minutes per acre if you have lots of turns. Rough ground slows you down. 72"...

    22HP v-twin intake spit

    Check your fuel lines and filters for small cracks. My fuel line had a crack that would take in air, but did not leak gas. Check from the tank to the motor...

    5hp Briggs Will Only Run On Full Choke

    Check your fuel line for cracks as well. Spray carb cleaner around the carb to ensure it is sealed. My fuel line had an almost invisible crack allowing enough air in for surging, but did not leak. So check the whole fuel feed system for air intrusion.

    is4000z refurb

    All back together and running well. Shredded a deck belt during test mowing. Tensioner bolt was loose and pinched it. Got that fixed and replaced the belt. Then the warning lights and buzzers stayed on while running. Had to pull the controller board under the left instrument cluster...

    is4000z refurb

    So my IS4000Z 31HP Gas LC with 72" deck has been down since end of last season. Decided to get after it. Pulled and stripped the deck. Welded the underside curved deflectors together at the joining seams, welded in a new underside chute plate, welded some small cracks, and added a very heavy...

    Gas coming out of muffler

    Agree with above. My float was fine and did a full clean of the carb and still had the issue. Replace the carb. They are inexpensive. I did and my rider runs great! 22HP B&S V-Twin on mine.
