Thank you. I am going to work on it tomorrow I hope

Thank you all for your in insights. I gave already replaced the primer and the odd shaped gasket that the air filter box attaches to on the outside of the carburetor. I was given this mower from a neighbor who said she picked it up on the side of the road to give to a friend who needed a...

I have a Toro super recycler that is from 1999-ish. It’s a Toro model # 20040 SR-210S serial # 9902466.. I have looked up the mower on Toro’s site and it is not identified with a Briggs model # and is referred to as a model GTS200. That said it appears to have been made by Briggs and is an...

Oops meant to say -144 oring. I did get the actual Hydro-Gear o-ring

I picked up a new 51016 square cut -141 O-ring from a local dealer and I waiting for the owner to bring the machine back to attempt the repair. I have never done this repair. It looks tempting to try it without removing the pump from the mower… but would probably be better accessed with the...

I am going to pick up the Hydro-Gear 51016 from a dealer tomorrow. I assume it will be square cut. I will let you know how everything works out

StarTech. One more question on the o-ring. I see that the description that you attached from Hydro-Gear states that it is a square cut o-ring. I do see a square cut o-ring in the rebuild kit not sure if it is the 51016 but it does appear to be about the right size. What I have seen of the -144...

Star Tech Yes the correct model number for the pump is PJ-BGAB-EY1X-XX its right on a tag, guess I misread the B as a 8 as I said earlier I did buy a seal kit which I hope to return if I only need an o-ring. The kit part number 70525 has a large label that lists the contents of the kit. All...

I am trying to help a friend with his Laser z 60_that he uses commercially. It is a model LZ27KC605 serial 602244. Owner thought it was leaking from the hoses and had me replace both hose to the pump. The pump is a Hydro Gear model PJ-8GAB-EY1X. The leak appears to be coming from the charge...

Yes the photo that was attached of the adapter is exactly what I have. I guess the flywheels on these engine must have the flywheel magnets set at a different location 90 degrees or so away from the point than one that uses a key. Since the raised bumps are what fit into the keyway in the...

I am working on a Snapper snowblower with a Tecumseh HSK600-1683(T). I have spark and 60 psi of compression. From what I have researched it should be able to start and run with 60 psi. Seems low to me when chainsaws and trimmers seem to need 100ish. I have spark and I have installed a new...

The fact that the D adapters are clutch specific and the fact that no D adapter was shown on the IPL lead me not to use it initially. I have triple checked the IPL and it shows a thick washer and 2 coved spring washers to hold it on to the crankshaft. I am thinking that someone replaced the...

Auto Doc. The new OEM part I ordered from a Exmark dealer did not come with a D adapter. Aren’t they normally included with a new clutch? The wires that ran to the clutch had been cut and there were crimped connectors on the wires ahead of the terminal block that plugs into the clutch…that’s...

Thanks to everyone for their helpful input. I installed the D adapter and it seems to have stopped the chatter when idling. In reviewing the IPL it does not show a D adapter but a couple of coved washers that it does show, were not on the old clutch. I think someone replaced the original...

I wish I had researched replacing the clutch more thoroughly. I was under the impression that I had to hold the crankshaft by the flywheel bolt and on this 27 HP Kohler the only way to do that is to remove the engine shroud so the flywheel fan can be removed, since it does not have a hole in...
