either a hot spot or it's piston scuffing the cylinder wall. you can still clearly see the hone pattern. if you feel like digging deeper pull the piston out and taker a look at it. to your original question if the bolts are not TTY then I would reuse them. That's just me.

does anyone a source for a side discharge chute that will fit the honda composite deck mowers. Sick of the rear discharge filling up my boots with gras clippings. Looks like Honda doesn't make one for these they must not see the flaw in this design. is there any after-market choices for a side...

that actually called hyro-locking it. a liquid can't de compressed thus it locked it up solid. I think it's safe to say this was not a new problem that cropped up on you. it was on going. and it keeps over fueling this the fast rev up and the smoke if it's over fueling that much it will not...

yes for sure and in terms of longevity you have them from the least desirable to most desirable and the price has dropped when Time-serts first came out the price was astronomical and with ali-express and temu even time sert knocks offs are still better than a heli-coil. if it's just a cylinder...

problem is when you pull a heli-coil out it usually takes the repair threads that hold the coil in play out with it. been there done that seen that. that is why the time certs are so much better. they are used to repair bores in engine blocks that hold heal bolts in that are torqued down really...

no rear discharge. the metal decks have rear discharge only and they have side discharge chut attachments. they don't for these and the bag configuration is different metal deck/composite. a neighbor of mine has an older Honda and the bag attachment hooks are different, I was thinking I could...

that's what I have no side discharge chute for it.

Does anyone have a link to someplace that sells a side discharge chute for these machines? the deck is all the same on the composite deck models. doesn't matter if it has the my pace speed self propel or the different speeds unit the deck is the same. I love this machine, but it clumps the grass...

I'm in the auto repair business not small engines. I can tell you 100% if you want a long lasting repair DO NOT USE A Heli-coil! if you have had this machine for 30 years your in it for the long haul and from the sounds of it you do preventive maintenance like changing a spark plug regularly...

Does anyone make a side discharge chute for these mowers. I can find all kind of ones for the older machines but not the plastic beck models. I love the machine but sic of it filling my shoes/boots up with grass clippings. when the grass is wet it clumps out the back discharge it's really a poor...

well after looking at all the options and decided that buying a commercial mower was just too expensive for the end return, I wound up biting the bullet and bought a 21" Honda with a 200CC engine 4 in one mulch/bag/rear discharge machine with a composite deck I got it from jacks small engines no...

curious how much you paid for this? I'm finally going to upgrade from my 18 year old Ariens I was looking at a bad boy mower but not many dealers around. Looking at one with the bigger engine. I also need a side discharge that's not included? where I live I don't have any place to dispose of...

Bigger is always better. HP means nothing. you want as much torque as you can get. Torque is what does the work. think of it like a race car an engine builder will maybe tell you what the HP is but well never tell you what the Torque is and where it comes in and hits it's peak. the twisting is...

anyone still sell this model mower? any good thoughts? the make/made them with either Honda or Kawasaki engines.

Thx. looking for personal experiences though. the Exmark and Bad boy ones are intriguing never see them out in the wild. even commercial lawn cutting service they all have bigger machines,zero turn, stand on units
