@ILENGINE 1500 sounds like far too much for a single cylinder like that. heck my v-twin only gets around 900

Hey all. Ive been looking for a correct lower bagger chute for my 2015 42" Craftsman Pro T7000, but the part numbers seem to be all over the place. I bought one and didn't know it was for a different mower until it showed up (Husqvarna 592866501). Does anyone know the right part number so I can...

How are you testing that the plug has no spark?

what's the model number under the seat?

Knew I was going to sell my best Craftsman Pro Series mower yesterday, so I had to get a good photo of this great trio before they were split up. Sold the middle one. It was a Craftsman Pro Series G8600. The power steering system was a very interesting experience. I liked it other than the...

I would go with a Husqvarna 48" or 54" riding mower in your case. They hold their value almost as well as John Deere, are cheap and easy to maintain, and parts are very easy to find if something breaks or needs replaced. Avoid Kohler Courage engines, Briggs V-Twins and Kohler 7000 series are...

Had the exact same thing happen to me about a week ago. It DOES turn all the way clockwise and while holding the throttle open where the cable connects to the engine, tighten the screw. I suggest you check over the springs and everything else in the governor linkage so that doesn't happen again.

From what I can see, the only adjustment on this is the idle speed. The welch plug on the top only covers the idle circuit holes.

Well I got a chance to work on it and I looked at a few things. I noticed that there wasn't much fuel flow and narrowed it down to the paper filter really blocking the flow. I replaced it with a typical screen filter and the flow looks much better how it usually is. I also tried putting the OEM...

I'm currently working on a Briggs 40N777-0027 Vtwin, and it has a persistent surging issue. This is one with a single barrel carburetor. I initially replaced the old carb with a aftermarket one and it ran okay at low speeds but anything higher than idle it seems it would run and then die and...

Yeah actually I was in the same boat a few months ago. I made an entire fuel system that I designed specifically to work with an electric fuel pump for mu riding mower. I used one for a Kawasaki Mule 2510, and it only lasted a few months. I had to take that system out and put the old vacuum one...

How exactly did you clean the carb? did you use new gaskets everywhere? A small rip or gap in a gasket will cause surging.

sounds like over inflation?

Well after many hours of hammering and butane, I have discovered that both the engine block and camshaft are toast. There are these little metal pieces that have welded themselves to the camshaft surface basically wedging between the block and cam to not allow you to get it out. The block...

The mounting holes are universal across all brands. Are you buying it new? Are you able to post your engines full model number because your engines output shaft could either be 1" or 1 1/8".
