Continuing to see the problem after only about 30 seconds each time. Pouring more gas into the carb delays the eventual death of the engine. I'm drawn to an observation by ILENGINE on a different thread about the solenoid on my carb possibly being defective and causing the plunger in the...

Good morning Boobala! Yeah, I'm pretty sure mine is different from the picture you provided from the manual. I'll endeavor to snap another pic that shows the linkages and the carb later today. Confirmed that I've got a different cable that feeds both the choke and throttle assemblies. The...

Greetings njren! Welcome to the MTD section of LawnMowerForum! Looking at the Amazon item you described, they only have the single picture, so it's hard to decipher how the latching system works. It looks like it would have some kind of rigid skeleton along the left or right-side, which then...

Good afternoon All! So, I've soaked carb and parts in cleaner overnight, rebuilt the carb, and now the problem has gotten worse: I still cannot start the mower without using a little bit of primer gas in the carb, but now I can't even keep the engine going after starting it. I've noticed...

Good afternoon! I've recently obtained an MTD Twin Bag Grass Collector (OEM-190-180) and have assembled it per the included directions. It is being used on an MTD Yard Machines Model 13A6672G129 with a Tecumseh 15.5hp Engine (OHV155-204509E). Unfortunately, I'm finding that very little of the...

Good evening all, I don't think that there is an Electrical PTO Switch in my case, because I took the earlier advice and followed the orange wire going from the Ignition Switch Starter (S) Pin through the wiring harness (without taking the harness apart btw) and it went directly to the small...

Hello BlazNT! I apologize, I have neglected to mention that I had already tested the ignition switch and came to the conclusion that it was good. I tested it by checking for continuity between the S (Starter Solenoid) pin and the B (Battery) pin, more specifically, I saw that continuity while...

Hello Bertsmobile1! Here's my Solenoid and I've labeled it based on my observations of the electrical wiring. I'm confused by the readings that I'm getting. Either I'm doing it wrong (most likely), or the solenoid is defective (also a valid possibility). So I've set my basic voltmeter to...

Good evening all! Mower has been working great the last few months, once I'm able to actually get it started. The starting problem I had recently appears to be fixed. My newest problem is that the engine won't successfully turn-over on its own now. I have found that if I prime the carb with...

Greetings All, I've been having an intermittent starting problem since I obtained my 2000 MTD Yard Machines last August, but I honestly do not know if this symptomology is specific to the starter itself, or another component. I can usually start the mower on the first try. But every once in...

Greetings All, I have an MTD Yard Machine 13A6672G129 from 2000, and the documentation says I need to order a Twin Bag Grass Collector OEM-190-063. I haven't been able to find a good price on that model locally, but I did find a good price on an OEM-190-180A, but I don't know if this will...

Greetings All! I have recently acquired a 2000 MTD Yard Machines model 13A6672G129, and I'm going through the process of tuning it up. I'm at that point where I've successfully removed the mower deck and have turned it upside down on a workbench to remove the blades for sharpening. I am...

Greetings fellow MTD users! I have just recently purchased a older used Yard Machine Riding Mower, but neglected to verify that the ID Tag was in-place when I bought it. My bad. Got it home and went to look for ID tag and found it was missing. Now I'm scratching my head trying to figure out...
