According to Kohler your engine doesn't use the spark advance system it is a fixed timing CDI system Which uses two 24 584 45-S ignition modules. So neither one of the part numbers that you referenced apply to your engine.

What is the model and type of the briggs engine. The carb parts are ordered by model number of the engine. In some cases the carb numbers are used as a reference only when looking up the briggs part number

Lets not get the cart before the horse. What is the model and spec of your Courage engine so we can confirm that is actually the kit you need.

Compression test is not a good test for those style engines. Leakdown testing is the better test. Would tell you if you have compression leaks and were. With that age I would just remove the head and take a look at the cylinder walls looking for wear and a ridge at the top of the cylinder...

After 26 years I suspect that it is floating the intake valve and is not sealing. Over time the valve face and seat wear which results in the valve clearance getting narrower until it can not longer close the valve.

I would start by checking the fuses. Sounds like something shorted out and blew a fuse,

Im a HCP service center so have access to Husqvarna parts not exclusively used on Husqvarna branded products. If I tryt to purchase a Husqvarna exclusive part my distributor gives me the restricted warning.

So what model of mower and what engine do you have with model number if possible

My husqvarna distributor shows NLA also and they are an official Husqvarna distributor.

If it is a small hose that comes out the end of the elbow most likely that is the emission hose that connects to the either the top of the fuel tank or to a canister that looks like a small black box mounted to the engine that has another hose that connects to the top of the fuel tank.

160855 supercedes to 532138255

How many pins are present in the 6 pin white connector. Should have 5 pins used.

The blink style testers cannot be used connected between the spark plug wire and grounded. It takes like nothing to blink the light since the tester basically doesn't have any resistance. So from your description I would be replacing the coil.

Need the model and serial number from tag under seat. Is this a hydrostat or the 2 belt drive system with variable speed stack pulley. And if the 2 belt system I hope you replaced both belts.

Make sure the deck is not engaged. Will prevent cranking.

The stump from about 6 inches above ground level to the roots will include dirt, rocks and foreign material that will dull the chain quickly. The box store chains that everybody likes to buy is the lower grade of the 3 grades of chain that Oregon produces. First confirm what @MParr mentioned...

Which one of the thousands of Craftsman mowers that have been made over the last 80 years are you working on.

From your description either the bottom relay isn't operating or you are not getting power from the time delay module. Or possibly the time delay module isn't getting power from its source.

If you have a volt meter. Then connect the negative wire to the negative terminal of the battery. It will remain there for all the following testing. First connect the red test lead to the positive post of the battery, what is the voltage. Now engage the starter and what is the voltage. Now...

Remove all the wires that you connected to the starter and if you have a Ohm meter then put the red lead on the large lug furthest from the starter motor, and then touch the black lead to the case of the starter solenoid or starter body. Do you have 0 ohms or something close to that. If so...

My best guess is the large red from battery, the small red and the purple wire connect to the large starter solenoid lug furthest from the starter body. The large black and small black connect to a starter mounting bolt. The exciter wire connects to the spade terminal on the starter.

If you are trying to use the MTD website to look up the owners manual then you can put the model number in the proper field, and then put eight zeroes in the serial field.

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...
