Had a customer bring one by the other day wanting me to do something about because it would not start. Said he bought it last year and only used it one time. I check it over. He stated it had fuel in it. I hit it with carb cleaner, and it started but would not keep running. I looked at the fuel...

B+ terminal is on the right outside terminal of the regulator. At least it is on the FX600V engine I have where I replaced the engine on. Engine is complete runs but uses oil.

Yes, you are right this has been a slow year for used mower sales unless it is a Zero Turn. Have able to get my hands on two and they lasted two days. Have 4 in the works now. A CZ4817 Husqvarna a XW2002 D/C and 2 D/C I don't recall the model numbers. The JD and a YTH 24V48 Husqvarna built in...

I acquired a John Deere LX277AWS (All Wheel Steer) with a FH500V 17 HP engine 38inch cut deck. Got it running, engine runs sweet. Deck was noisy, rebuilt the deck, mowed with, mows nice. Only problem with it, it has no hood. Not looking to spend over $400.00 not sure I can recoup my money after...

You can get a low-pressure 3 psi electric fuel pump.

Never tried to look one up by the type no. but it does work. my apologies

You just can't help some people Model type and code

Suppose to be one of the elite Zero turn mowers

The Model of the mowers are usually on the seat tower frame between your feet. Could be a Magnum

Sorry about that the serial number for the Eagle and Black Hawk are on the left frame rail between seat tower and the left front wheel. Z2 is on the frame rail next to the right front wheel. How big a mower is it? Here it list all mowers https://www.dixiechopper.com/owners-manuals/

They have one where I use to work and it made it really easy to change. Only problem is airing them up. I could take them there and change them, but it is an hour drive one way.

Did you ever get it fixed? Could be the 500088 Time delay module

Anyone know of a tire changer that will change the front tires on a lawnmower.

I am 76 years old and run a Tanaka TBC340 trimmer that is 32cc and 1.8 HP. that weighs 10.6 lbs. bought it new in 2004 still running great today. Never had E10 run in it just pure gas. I mix my own. Still original carb never been touched. Oh yes, I did put a speed feed head on it. I thank God...

I have a set of those cap wrenches that I think I bought at HF. Comes in a blister pack that has all sizes in it.

Most people mow their grass too short any way.

If They would have ask in the first place someone might have told them the problem before they spent the money trying to fix it

The one thing I really like is the yoyo that throws say around $300 dollars' worth of parts at it, that doesn't fix it. Then finally come on here and ask a question about it and someone tell them the problem, that would have cost them nothing. LOL Then they don't come back and thank one of us...

One thing I have learned over the years about the governor is the spring tries to blow the engine up and the governor tries to save it. The top no load speed is the balance between the two.

492934 Briggs filter. I use Kawasaki 10W-40 Small engines take a high zinc oil.

I would try losing the fuel cap to see if the vent is stopped up creating a vacuum in the fuel tank.

You can try taking some paste type toothpaste and lapping the seat with the toothpaste and a Q-Tip. Do you have a pressure tester to test to see if that fixed the problem.

Big Dog is the same mower only red

Well it isn't the ignition modules.

Just acquired a LX277 AWS JD. Has a Kawasaki FH500V AS11 engine on it. Hope to get it going to see what I have.

YW

.003 on the valve lash. Hope this helps covers all the D/C mowers and Generac Engines. https://www.dixiechopper.com/owners-manuals/

If the bottom of the pump is open, I don't see why you would not be able to do it. Like Star said it will be messy. Put something under the pump to catch the oil.

If it were mine, I would try it. Doesn't look like the wear is in the ring area of the cylinder. I have a FX 1000 I got for free looks about like that that I am going to try to fix.

I bought this thing new in 2004 only thing I have ever done to it is I had to fix the choke lever where the bottom 1/3 of it broke off making it hard to start. Adapted a Stihl Choke and air filter housing on it. Also put one spark plug in it. Had not run it since last year. Filled it with fuel...

They won't run on the brake cleaner I use. I'm not talking about trying to run it long term just long enough to see if it will start.

Dixie Chopper has used the EFI for years I mean back in the 2000's. Not had very many problems with them. Know there has been a lot of changes in the systems since then. Most problems were in the O2 sensors. Had one where the heat sensor and the wire running to it was grounding out on the metal...

Amazon has a carb kit.

How to avoid hitting roots and rocks in the yard. MOW HIGHER!

Spray some GUM OUT CARB cleaner in the throat of the carb and see if it starts. No start ign. starts fuel problem.

The Generac engines that came on the Dixie Chopper mowers were nothing like the Briggs engines. In fact, that is what is on my XW2500 72-inch cut Dixie Chopper mower. I know it is not the original engine for it was a 25 HP Kohler. Which was not enough engine for the mower. Every time I mow with...

Dixie Chopper quit using the Generac engine around 2012.When the EPA reset the emission standards for small engines. Generac instead of redesigning the engine they leaned the carb down to meet the standards. In so doing this made the engine run too hot. That crystallize the exhaust valve that...

Flywheel nut torque is 150 Ft lbs. Where are you getting the Generac engine is a Briggs copycat engine.

Ok guys let's see who has the oldest mower still in use. What brand and the year it was made. How often is it used. I have two antiques. Still in use weekly. The oldest is a 1997 XW2500 Dixie Chopper72 inch cut. She is not original due to the fact the engine has been replaced before I got her...

Can your dog mow your yard. If it can, can I borrow it. Do you think it could handle a Dixie Chopper XW2500 72 inch cut. That has 33 Hp Generac engine on it. It is a 1997 model. sure makes short work of the 1 acre I mow. It is a beast.

Like going to the parts house and asking for an air filter for a chevy.

Dumb setup too hard to get right.

I believe Kohler says not to reuse the head bolts. I have always reused them and never had a problem.

Wix makes really good oil filters.

I just love it when people start throwing parts at it and don't diagnose the problem. Had a guy here threw probably $300.00 in parts and did not fix the problem. After I told him the problem that would not have cost him anything he never answered back. When it dies spray some Gum Out carb...

You can get a bad carb once and a while I got one with no bowl gasket and inlet needle once.
