Does the governor spring stretch when you move the dash lever to fast? Recheck you put the governor link (governor to carb) after you rebult the carburetor. From the issue you state it sounds as if the governor spring is unhooked or is not being stretched when the dash lever is moved.

While they are a pain in the butt, be aware if the discharge deflecter is missing or tied up AND an object whether it is a rock, can, stick or other object flies out from the mower and hurts or kills someone you can be held liable. Lawyers ( I call them buzzards as they are looking for a free...

Yep I have repaired many mowers that just clicked when the key was turned, installed the relay and no more just clicks. Only trying to help -- But--

Not avilable? see last post. A serch of the net yeilds many sources.Though I thick they are expensive in the 5-6 dollar range.

Just one question Have you checked the voltage at the S terminal when starting? If so Please report back. Thank You.

Oh my. How about a homeowner or his "hold my beer" I'll fix it buddy used a RC12YC in aflat head that used RJ19LM. "it just won't run".

Often the starting circuit, as it passes thru all the safety switches, loses voltage and does not have enough to activate the solenoid properly. John Deere had the same issue with their tractors and even made a kit to fix it. To test the problem, short the big post on the solenoid to the S...

Just in case you weren't aware Generac owns DR.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember that for the ignition module to function both wires must be connected to a spark plug. yet the service manual does not specify. Does your engine have points or is it magnatron Note the trouble shooting paragraph and illustration below. If someone can...

Wonderful Knew you could do it!

Lets try again -- one of these times you may just get it right! Hope you don't take this as I'm insulting you, as I said before just trying to help. The governor spring always attempts to pull the throttle plate too wide open, whether the engine is running or not. In fact as the engine is...

If you can control the speed by moving the carb lever to touch the idle speed screw, you don't have a carb problem. When starting and operating the engine the external governor arm should move the carburetor to idle and you will have to overcome the governor force to speed up the engine if the...

May be a dumb question but do both cylinders have compression? I have seen twin engines come in on running on one cylinder. One rod was broken. But it "just needs a tuneup, it is low on power". Do you have an inline spark tester? The one that looks like a troubleshooting current tester? Install...

By the video you have everthing correct on the inside. Not that you do not know what youi are doing, you seem quite knowlegable. But I question the external adjustment. I you turn the shaft correctly remember you are moving the lever against the thimble, so when the engine starts the weights...

Be sure there is no "governed idle" spring on the governor arm. If you manually move the carburetor linkage will the engine slow down? The governed idle maintains a preset speed and is used when the engine is idling and you engage the deck or move the mower it does not stall. It is adjusted by...

The 28, 31 and 33 seris use a compression release to help the small starter spin the engine. If you did not have a release you would need a starter the size of the one on a car, truck, or tractor. The compression release opens the intake valves on these engines just a few thousansth of an inch...

By a thin wire I just meant something that would go between the block and sump to be sure the governor is engaging the cam. Somewhere you've got to win!! Just trying to share what I have learned over the years, as I know governor are a a mystery to most people.

Looks like you have the shaft/lever turned the right way Notice the little shiny spot on the lever that is where the thimble is contacting the lever. While it is apart spin the governor and see if the flyweights and thimble move properly. As you are reinstalling the pan check to be sure the...

Does moving the governor arm to the slow position control the engine speed? without the engine running? From all that you have posted I question if the lever of the governor arm is. turned properly and the governor is pushing against it -- because you have no force moving the arm toward idle...

How about a lesson on how a governor works?? The governor contained in the crankcase has two flyweights on it and the lever on the flyweight forces the thimble away from the gear. The thimble applies force to the lever on the end of the shaft that passes thru the case and has the arm mounted on...

With the engine not running there should be spring force trying to pull the throttle open. Yours according to the service manual has a "governed Idle" which does not allow the carburetor to close and touch the speed adjustment screw on the carb. It is designed to allow the operator to idle the...

Just a quick question. Was the governor lever turned the right way when you put the sump back on?

Some engines do this but I am not familiar (don't remember really) it has been a while since I have worked at one of the opposed flat head twins. The best would be to follow the linkage and see if there is a link or lever to do so. Even the service manual has no clear picture of the control. If...

You stated you were able to bring it back to idle by using a wire -- does the governor are try to pull it back to idle? If not there could be one of two issues. Governor not adjusted properly which you said you did, or the internal governor has a problem which could be 1. the flyweights weights...

The engine speed is controlled by a balancing act between the governor and the governor spring. When the engine is running the governor should pull the carburetor closed, when you start the engine is there any force opposing the sparing? Trying to close the throttle? Can you hold the governor...

Have you used the new torque spec and pattern? Have tried to copy file and attach the file but the computer won't allow it. So here is th jist of the service bulletin. 1 New design head bolt, with new torque pattern. No part number given. 2. Tighten 1/3 value, then 2/3, then final torque. 3 new...

Blown head gasket a common problem on Breaks & Scrapem singles especially the 28 and 31 cube engines. Some overeducated engineer thought they did not need a headbolt in the pushrod area and therefore it is a long distance between the two head bolts. Quickest way to check for a blown gasket is to...

When it shuts down have you checked the antifire solenoid (if it has one) in the carburetor bowl? Sometimes when they get hot they will not work properly and close. May have to check for a missing heat shield or fabricate one.

A common issue on these mowers. Usually caused by the frame beeing bent from hitting something too hard. Yes the frames are marginal strength. There are two may be three ways to fix it, replace the frame and be sure to be gentle with the front end, straighten and reinforce the frame, replace the...

You say it "just clicks when the key is turned" Is that to the run position or start? The fuel solenoid and other relays will click in the on position, the starter solenoid when turned to the start position will only click if it is bad, because the internal contacts are corroded and don't make...

Guess it shows my age! Oh my. I was refering to the John Deere tractors made in the 30's 40's and 50's. It was 52 or 53 when they finally went to two barrel carbs.

Somthing to think about. A V twin engine fires the same as the two cylinder John Deere. One cylinder fires and the other fires 90* later then there is no power for 270* turn of the crankshaft. John Deere had an issue using single barrel carburetors because the first cylinder was lean and the...

Any thought on Baldwin Filters?

If you review my previos post on page 1 & 2 esentialy does that and elinimates the module. The issue is the switches used with the module are normally open and when activated are closed. The switched in the "kit" are normally closed and open when activated. This means if a switch is deactivated...

If memory serves me right that should be a self tapping screw.

From the posted picture there is something rubbing the inside of the belt. This caused the damage pictured overheats and destroys the belt. Be sure to check all around the belt for a guide on the wrong side of the belt or a loose parts hanging down an rubbing the belt. If the belt was loose the...

If the parts book is correct that is a hrdrostatic transmission. Have you checked the oil level? There is a spring that pulls the transmission back to tighten the belt, is the transmission free to rotate? Are the axle bearings getting tight? Is the pulley slipping on the crankshaft (doubt it)...

Note the second box does not have the Kawaski name it, but looks the same otherwise. Is it a genuine part? or a copycat?

See if this helps Here is a links for a manual for a Pro 150. Note the first few pages give a way to eliminate the module. Note to ALL: Please when you ask for help with a Gravely (maybe others) include the model #. Should be a tag on the engine deck and is six digits as 988100, 988101 etc...

That is the govment being sure the consumer gets a poor running engine and is nnot able to adjust the carburetor. After all you know the consumer will adjust the carburetor and cause excessive pollution. Be glad you can adjust it and don't have to take off those ******** limiter caps.

Are you running the engine "wide open" and is the speed set at manufactuerers specification? Depending on mower deck and mulching blade design it may not produce enough air flow for a bagger. Is the deck clean and the boot and tube clean? Is the screen clean in the bagger so air can get out...

You did not say what engine is on the mower. Kohler had that issue but it has been to long I don't remeber the fix. Consider the cylinder lays flat, oil drains off the piston and cylinder and will seep past the piston rings especially if the ring gaps especially if the are on the bottom of the...

The pston shows signs of oil useage note how it is washed clean on the top side especially the left side. The cylinder appear to be scored especially at the bottom which indicates not enough oil changes or possible overheating. Does the cylinder have ridge when the top ring stops? Enough to...

I have no doubt that major spark plug manufacturers are making good products whether it is NGK, Champion, AC, Bosh, Denso or others. I know what happened and had a sore hand for a week. Also as stated before the first one was totally checked out, carb, coil, flywheel key, valve settings, fuel...

As cheap as spark plugs are I never use used sparkplugs unless it is a known good for testing only to be replaced by a new plug. Yes I agree sometimes people don't respect the spark plug and careless handling especially when dropped on the floor result a damaged plug. I have seen insulators...
