I have probably played the same game.

I can understand the fustration but SBD has been known to contact dealers distributors to find out if the dealer actually ordered the parts from their authorized distributor. or request copies of the parts invoice as part of warranty procedures. Failure to provide proper documentation has...

Mistype. Have corrected my original post with incorrect number

Have you checked the exhaust screen to make sure it isn't carbon plugged.

Warranty most of the time will pay for additional damaged items that are a consequence of the initial failure as a single event.

I can feel your pain. From a service center observation. Dealers often get caught in the middle, and customers blame the dealer for things that are beyond their control. In other words customers like to blame the dealer for things that the OEM made the decision to deny the warranty.

I understand your fustration with lack of parts availability. And the delays lead to additional issues. Now I have a question if you would of sent pictures of the damaged wheel yokes to SBD for warranty consideration for defect and workmanship would they of been considered a failure of...

This is the bent part Part number 71599 and the spring is part number 51605

I am interested in what happened to the front forks. A picture woud be worth a thousand words.

There is a bulletin hilighting a water intrusion issue into the ecu plug causing a misfire, or can progess into entering the ECU itself preventing starting and running of the CH26 prior to 2000 on exmark laser Z and toro mid-mount Z mowers.

The early Bosch systems used a 2 digit blink code followed by the 61 end test code. And to the OP 23 blink code indicates defective ECU. The 4 digit P code would be a P0601

You definitely don't know Kohler engines. The Kohler command has always used hydraulic lifters and the same style lifters used on auto engines to this day. And they were not used on lower end mowers. The Command is considered the flagship engine and they were used on lower end mowers...

No it was a 15 HP engine that Craftsman got caught lying about HP and one of the reasons the small engine companies and Sears got sued. Craftsman changing the HP ratings of engines on their products was the primary defendent of the HP lawsuit. And did you know that Kohler was the only company...

Is the MIL light illuminated. That can give us direction for fault codes. And stop doing the shotgun parts replacement until we have more information to go on. Like are you loosing fire and that is the reason you are replacing the ignition modules. And lets find out compression but I...

If this engine has a Briggs engine and the starter rope is attached to the push handle. Remove the rope from the handle and let it retract into the engine and see it still makes that metallic rub sound. I suspect that the pawls of the SUSA starter are making contact when the push handle is...

What I have seen on the command engines that have several hundred hours over several years is the seals harden which leads them to get loose in their sealing bores and then basically fall out.

Battery connected backwards If battery cables reversed will cause starter to spin backwards and not engage flywheel.

Lets start with the model number information from the engine so we can determine if you have a flat head or the OHV which is known from valves getting out of adjustment or leaving the 4 broken parts of the compression release from the camshaft laying in the engine sump waiting to create sudden...

Move the throttle shaft in the carb from idle position to full throttle. Observe which direction the governor shaft coming out of the engine rotates. Loosen the clamp on the governor arm and while holding the throttle at full throttle rotate the shaft in the same direction it moved when going...

Model number information from the engine would assist us in looking up your exact engine so we can see what you see.

Ignition module installed upside down poosibly. And was the module installed with the correct clearance from the flywheel. Are these OEM modules or Chinesium from other parts.

The chain tensioner screw on the engine side of the bar in front use to be the standard location for all saw brands.

My first experience with this issue was a push mower that run about 5 minutes, and then would die like running out of gas. Drain the carb, and it would start and run another 5 minutes. Repeated a few times, and thought something else is going on, and decided to replace the plug and it started...

You have the solenoid The link that Star posted also includes the jet mount which your solenoid screws into and then the entire assembly screws into the fuel bowl.

This is going to sound doubt in some ways but I suggest you replace the spark plug. Spark plugs on Honda engines tend to do weird things including the symptom that you are having.

It is kind of a weird situation. There is no direct sensor for the valve clearances but the valve clearances out of spec changes the readings on the MAP sensor that if you know what you are looking at can tell the valve clearances. It is not a direct read system, more a deviation that...

The average person probably wouldn't notice any idle speed changes, but valves out of spec will have an effect on either advancing or retarding valve timing to the point can effect runnablity. But was checking on the Briggs EFI engines since valve clearance has been listed as possible cause of...

When the bottom relay received power from the time delay module it energizes the coil which closes the contacts between 30 and 87. When 30 and 87 close on the bottom relay is creates the ground path(green wire) for the top relay to energize which closes the path betwen the 30 and 87 contacts to...

Is that relay clicking when you turn the key on and off. If that relay doesn't actuate, it will not unground the ignition module. also the other relay won't activate which will prevent the start circuit from energizing the starter solenoid.

Did you clean the jets in the bowl nut. that is the most overlooked area on that style carb.

Do you have battery voltage at pin 85 with the violet wire. And does the black wire on pin 86 have a good ground.

Being a Briggs single cylinder intek engine I would suspect that you are at the beginning of a failing head gasket. Head gasket will burn through the area between the cylinder wall and the push rod cavity.

Hydrogear has always told their dealers such as myself that a pump failure will not damage a wheel motor, but a wheel motor failure will eat the pump. But something to keep in mind is would be hard to get the wheel motor properly flushed of debris from a previous pump failure to prevent...

Briggs list idle speed on that engine at 1750, but could be modified by Toro. Good chance that the top end has a good amount of wear. But something to keep in mind is parts and labor can start eating toward the price of a new complete engine very quickly. Rings list at $47 US for each set...

While sitting on the seat, turn on the igniton switch and pull the pto button, and you should hear the clutch engage with a load click. Also applying 12 volts to the clutch wires will also engage the clutch.

I have done some light grinding/repair work on the starts in some cases, but that star looks too far gone, and will require a replacement shaft. Just don't attempt to remove the spindle housing from the deck unless you want to replace the entire spindle because the mounting bolts will break...

Is it possible that the slope is causing you to lean off the seat in which is causing the seat swtich to temporarily release. On some mower it will kll the enigne when the seat switch is released on others it will do exactly what you describe.

OEM deck belt part number is 1716854SM. Looks like it should measure 90.4"

Most of the experience with CV transmissions is limited to the guys that work on ATV and SXS. Which for the majority of lawnmower guys is beyond their scope. It has been my experience with CV clutches that they either work or they don't and one that is not working correctly is easy to spot...

Correct

I am thinking either a bent pulley or contact damage. Need to check all the pulleys and any guides around those pulleys because something it either making light contact or you have a bent pulley.

398811 is correct for your engine and available. It is a direct fit. Don't need the points so if still installed don't connect the points wire just the kill wire.

The Vanguard with oil guard is a dry sump engine that holds 5 quarts of oil and can operate at a 45 degree angle.

Disconnect the kill wire from the coil and retest. If still no spark then dead coil. If you have spark, then the issue is with the kill wire or kill switch.

There are 2 issues at play here. One, the pto shouldn't be spinning and pulling on the wires. The anti-spin bracket is either missing or broken. And 2, the die after releasing the parking brake or engaging the pto points to a seat switch or associated wiring issue.

Need to retry spark with a gap style spark checker. The blink style spark testers can give a false positive. You could try removing the spark plug, connecting the wire and grounding the plug to the engine and cranking to check if the actual spark plug sparks.

Camshaft failure not common on V twin Briggs engines. I suspect that you didn't get the flywheel torqued properly after replacing the stator and you now have a sheared flywheel key.

Problem is most the time there is a left handed monkey wrench involved somewhere.

First lets check some model numbers. Not finding a 13A726JD060 Coming up with 13A726JD066. Also check DOM doesn't match the Serial number date of February 15, 2018. But if using the 066 model number appears to be the 7T84JUA MTD engine. The base of the air cleaner housing should have a...

Best estimate will be 2-4 hours.
