AND I've found it to be a waste of time trying to use a generic oring. I've got several o ring kits and none fit. Go by the part number. In the USA I've bought them in 5 and 10 packs, even from flea bay. Just go to the dealer and expect some sticker price shock. Also go to You tube for some...

Some very good info at this link about your post. Read it slow. https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/the-big-disconnect-seperate-machine-and-engine-information-is-needed-we-are-not-mind-readers.81338/

You say hubby know electrical. Might think about using jumper cables and another battery to attempt a crank or jumper from a auto battery. I've seen starter gear stay up like that when the engine don't start and be ok. The bendix gear may not retract until the engine starts and the flywheel...

Please help. My Thing a majiggy broke and I need a whatcha ma callit.

AND just think, that in a few years the majority of the people running the country will be home schooled.

Appears he is saying the needle/seat is leaking. If so he needs to also replace the fuel lines due to cracking and shedding and add a fuel filter and maybe a petcock if it's gravity flow. Some thoughts: Slight chance that it might not need a new needle/seat. (because old rotted fuel lines are...

you say in your first post: Then I noticed gas running out of the air filter / card/ What is a CARD????

and tell them it's a red colored Chevy.

The gas line in his pic needs some attention also. A hint as to why his needle seat is leaking.

Bailing wire is a good thing. Ford should include a roll of Bailing wire with their vec's even the new ones. I keep Bailing wire and Duct tape handy for my old model Fords. I can keep them old model Ford's just humming along. Duct Tape and Bailing wire will do lots of things. (when used by a...

Why did you remove the throttle control cable?

Why did you remove the throttle control cable?

This link will help you get the info needed. read it at least twice https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/the-big-disconnect-seperate-machine-and-engine-information-is-needed-we-are-not-mind-readers.81338/

I've wrestled with several of those type machines and carbs. In answer to your question can the carb be cleaned? YES.

I use a cutoff wheel in a 4 inch grinder with the pad in a vise when first starting. Some of them replacement deck brake pads are only available with the bracket arms and are costly. I've seen some of these type brakes hang up or jam and keep the PTO from engauging the blades.

Driverless semi's next. That is going to be interesting news when it (the accident) happens.

Did you fail to post the picture you mention???? I noticed you are asking about a o ring in the dipstick CAP Not the o ring on the tube going into the block

It's also a good thing if you have a owners manual handy and read the MOTION DRIVE instructions BEFORE starting. and do not cut the old belt off. You need to leave it on so as you know what needs to be removed to get the new belt installed. Also compare the length of the old belt to the NEW belt...

What I do when looking for used parts or even new. Find the part numbers of the parts needed or the correct description and go to Flea Bay and search. If none seen do a saved search and this will get you a email notice when match TO WHAT YOU INQUIRED ABOUT IS POSTED. If you will post the...

Also I've found lately when replacing o rings that are subjected to both heat and oil I try to find Hydraulic type o-rings. I have both metric and standard o-ring kits that are iffy for hot oil and heat and even buying from automotive parts stores now-days can be china made. If a parts store...

Just a little bit bad. In same category as being just a little bit pregant.

If you now have a good brake you do not need any replacements for now. Cannot tell how much pucks worn when they are still in the assembly. I would not buy any replacements until I completely lost brake (run out of adjustment) and then order AFTER the old pucks are accessed. If a brake puck...

Have Ronnie Milsap look at it with you.

AMEN: I remain paranoid about using parts now days, wondering if the NEW part will work, then if it will last very long. AI and robots is not working in my favor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justwayne asked this: Theres no way to wear out anything passed the brake pucks or pads if adjusting them or to wear into a good brake disc? No. nothing will be damaged by letting the pucks wear down to where you do not have any adjustment. It will not be metal to metal major damage like on a...

To be sure as ILengine says need complete spicer number off the transaxle to be sure, usually stamped or sometimes a paper tag that falls off. You can download a free Tecumseh?peerless motion Drive Manual from this link and match your to one in the manual and the manual wilo show where to look...

What I use is old worn out Automotive disc brake pads. When I say worn out I save the ones that still have enough pad thickness for mower blade brakes. I use a cutting disc in a right angle grinder to cut to size. Wear dust respirator, it's asbestos and metal filings. If the metal backing is not...

I always use a low ohms and check for near 0 resistance, but AND over the years I've found that re-gapping old points and expecting them to be trouble free is in the same category as peeing into the wind. Yes points can be troublesome and most generally the ignition points now days are not as...

What I did to save mowers and blades. and not much sweat involved. I had the big rock/root issue. (several) I carried the survey flags on the mower for immediate markers. I use a heavy post bar about 5 ft long and sharp on one end. I can pry out the rocks or use the end to chip the top off...

You might consider leaving the kill wire off going to the magneto, To do this, look for the black kill wire coming out from under the engine cowling, cut it or disconnect and bare about 1 inch insulation off the engine side of the wire and rig it so as it don't get grounded, start the engine and...

Take note in post #9, You are not checking the voltage to ground with your voltmeter. You ae checking the voltage drop ACROSS the trigger voltage circuit., which should normally be a low reading of 2 volts or less across the whole circuit. and this reading is taken under load, ie: while the...

If you can post the model number of the machine that has the 4-6 volt loss or a link to a wiring diagram of the machine maybe we can give you some logical tests points to check? 4-6 volts is too much of a voltage drop if you are referring to the starter solenoid trigger post. I would rig the...

You say: Starts and runs good at low speed. Ran good for 2 months after cam replacement. Spits and sputters at high speed. See how it re-acts if you use your hand so as to add some choke by restricting the air intake at the carb or reach behind the carb and slowly give it some choke. I suspect...

Can you move the engine forward or backward by hand so as to confirm it's not locked up.?

I have noticed this. (and especially true BEFORE doing electrical troubleshooting) Understanding how a system is supposed to operate before troubleshooting is a foundational principle of effective diagnostics. This approach ensures you identify the actual root cause rather than just treating...

Lots of info online about your electrical questions and how to use a electrical tester. Normally the Stator AC amps is not tested, just the AC volts at hi rpm,s.

Hang onto your existing carb. quite often they are needed later after trying the clones.

You say: I'm just kind of thinking out loud but could this possibly be the drive I smell wood burning.

The battery is not charging: What others have said and Looking at the wiring diagram: Does yours have the AC ammeter on the dash? Have you checked the stator output as 28v AC? (this is wire to wire, not to ground) The case on the regulator MUST BE GROUNDED GOOD to get a charge If these check...

Customer wants it replaced instead of disabling it. Yep, that happens sometimes.

Might want to check the upper drive pulley while you are under the machine flogging and cussing.. (if it's your machine) If not just get er dun) It's probably needs some anti-seize also.

I've seen some plastic cards that a .020 and more. I now make sure that I'm using the 8-.010 types, but I've not noticed any real issues when set a .020, just not within specs. (and Murphy's Law things can add up fast when things not within specs)

From your description it is not getting good fuel flow. Turn off the gas petcock, remove the drain plug bolt from the fuel bowl, turn on the gas petcock and see if you have good constant flow out the carb bowl drain. If not good flow eventuall check the screen filter that is at the gas tank...

You wrote: It would be a cool, learning project Just a hint. The H-35 is not a cool learning project. If you want a learning project best to go with a Briggs 5 hp area engine. Why, because the Tecumseh H-35 is obsolete and parts hard to find. It;s a good engine BUT really requires lots more...

I've noticed that the first time you hear one squeal, it does not EVER heal itself and it will get lots worse and really sad when you see it spit out the rope and the rope stays out..:eek: The squeal is most generally a friction between the crankshaft stub and the inside of the starter that the...

I use a marks a lot pen on the valve stem and a flat file. Each time the color goes away when hand filing the stem will be .001 less. You will be surprised at how fast a good file will remove valve stem metal or even just using 220-320 grit sandpaper on a piece of flat metal or glass. If that...

He turned into a Ghost, maybe after getting shocked or he used a big hammer on the machine.(so as to reduce stress)

I stumbled onto Cub Cadet info at partstree.com awhile back. try this and see if they have a owners manual and IPL to download. Go to partstree and type in your LTX1046 in the model search. Then choose the model from the drop down. If you have the 13xx?????? model try typing it in if you do not...

Appears to be a dual throat Nikki carb when looking at the engine parts IPL. I've seen those carbs do just as you indicate. Little bit of choke making it better is a hint of the carb. If the fuel tank additive in the suggestions does not get a fix, I can quite often while the carb is still on...
