I have a similar wont start problem and if the fuel solenoid is off without power in the normal state, I would like to manually override the solenoid so that it will always be on and disconnect it. I always us a manual fuel off valve at the end of each session to run the fuel out of the carb...

I have a year old low end 42in TroyBuilt rider with a 500cc Briggs engine and it suddenly died today and I am trying to trouble shoot it. I believe most likely is is one of the safety feature implementations that is shutting the mower down. I think it must be electrical since I am just going...

I have a year old low end 42in TroyBuilt rider with a 500cc Briggs engine and it suddenly died today and I am trying to trouble shoot it. I believe most likely is is one of the safety feature implementations that is shutting the mower down and I followed some wires and was shocked to see...

I bought a Husquavarna 2 weeks ago that I am having to return because of uneven cutting and so I thought I would upgrade a little and consider a John Deere. Available to me are the E100 and E110. I have had rotten luck lately with mowers since my snapper engine blew up. What I care about...

I am in the market for a good ole used classic riding mower that I can tinker with and stand a chance of keeping it going for the next 15 or 20 years and then leaving it to the grandchildren etc. From what I can see the weak link for all other riding mower brands are the transmissions where...

Some of the safety switches, wiring, or electric PTO clutch are causing my blades to disengage after I go about five feet. This is driving me crazy. I see that Snapper as a company does not have any tech support and uses BriggsStratton guys which is nearly useless. I wonder if there was...
