Hello guys, wanted to update you on the muffler. I was able to unclog it with compressed air and some heavy banging to the ground (those pesty BEES...) enough to start and run the motor on idle, but not enough to run smoothly (on accelleration) and at times it WILL cause the motor to stall, so I...

Thank you Tiger Small Engines!

You are the MAN Jones136! You hit the proverbial nail right on the head! You nailed it, the Muffler WAS clogged!!! Problem solved, I just have to buy a new muffler, I wanted to use the old one in the meantime so I could use the cutter until I got the new muffler in, but it's clogged so bad it...

Thank you Jones136, I haven't ordered the kit yet, but I'm getting desperate though, the grass is growing to an alarming rate; it has advanced and swallowing my house like a "Blob"! (I live in the middle of nowhere, but there's lot's of grass around me), have to make a decision before the week...

Would someone have a link with image/s that would show the routing of the fuel tubings from the fuel tank to the pump and carburator (Stihl RS 120 R). Thanks, would really appreciate it

Thanks for your advice StarTech, I'm in the process of ordering a carb kit. If it shouldn't resolve the problem I will order a new Carburetor.

Reply to Bertrrr; I realize that what he's saying makes sense, and that's how I always thought the priming pump worked. This is how I discovered my cutter's carb and pump ìt's setup (to my surprise) and I'm not sure this is the way it's supposed to work: 1) The pump's line does NOT draw fuel...

My Stihl FS 120/R after having been stored for the winter, won't start. It will start if I remove the spark plug and inject a bit of gasoline in the cylinder, but after the fuel runs out it shuts off! I thought I had the issue resolved, by disassembling and blowing the carburettor with...

Forgot to ask, in the same engine; the rotation of the engine is clockwise, correct? Why is it, that when I rotate the crankshaft manually in a counterclockwise direction I can hear a slight noise in the valve train (I took off the left valve cover to make sure the noise is coming from there)...

Hello guys, I'm trying to remove the flywheel, because I suspect something may be wrong with the key. My motor won't start (it turns over though). Somebody suggested il might be out of timing, and to check the key; sometime the timing goes out of wack because of a broken key (checked fuel...

Thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear!

I removed my blade about a year ago on my HT-R3009, now I'm ready to reinstall it. By examining the position of the blade and the curvature on the other side, plus the direction of the drive belt I can deduct that the blade should turn in a counter clock direction (viewing it from the bottom)...

Hello, my lawnmower is old and I'm afraid aside from the carburation problems (I'm trying to replace the carburetor) it might have transmission issues. I noticed when it stopped altogether it wasn't running properly; revving higher than normal. Is it possible that the transmission/transaxle is...

Thanks for your advice, I will replace the seat and needle and will clean the carburetor with the proper solvent, Although I won't be able to do much disassembly for the exception of the float bowl. Kind of unusual; normally carburetors have at least three sections, not the small ones I...

Hello everyone, hope you can help. I have an old HT-R 3009 that finally gave out. It no longer starts. After checking for good spark and fuel delivery, I took the carburetor out, done so a few times and removed the fuel bowl each time checked the float to make sure it was'nt stuck and tested it...

Re: Motor oil drain plug location, REMOVED braided hose I removed the braded hose; it was clogged like I suspected! There was also a kink in the 90 degree elbow turn. Can someone tell me if this is the original design and if it's adviseable to reinstall the same piece after cleaning it, or...

Hello everyone I'm trying to locate the oil's drain plug; because it's been contaminated by gasoline drained from the gas tank. My HT-R3009 shuts down after a couple of minutes. I've found a drain plug that connects the base of the oil fill tube through a braided hose, but after removing the...

My HT-R3009 won't start, when I turn the key; I hear a click coming from the starter relay but starter won't turn, the battery is fully charged, when I bridge the positive directly to the starter motor I get no reaction with the exception of a click from the solenoid if I bridge the center...

Hello everyone I own a Honda Ht-r 3009 riding lawnmower with a GXV270 engine (I think it's 8 HP). I normally start the engine with the key since its got an electric starter. Lately I've been having a problem starting it. I would like to install a manual recoil pull start kit and retain the...

Hello everyone My HT-R3009 when the cutting blade is engaged It looses more power than normal, in fact when going over tall grass engine will stall if not switched to the slowest gear, if cutting grass taller than 12" it will stall at any speed. When engaging the blade going uphill machine's...

Hello everyone I own an HT-R3009, and when the cutting blade is engaged I loose more power than normal, in fact if I go over tall grass the engine will stall. When cutting blade is disengaged the engine runs fine for the exception of misfiring sometime. I cleaned the spark plug, no change. Do...
