Got a Fh580V that doesn't like to start but runs fine once it does start. Has very good spark .Has nearly new rings but doesn't have much compression. Was running good then became harder and harder to start. Valves are fine and new head gaskets. Hit it with starting fluid and it wants to...

Just came across a Kawasaki twin with a different type of valve adjustment than I've worked on before. I had a customer bring a Ferris walk behind with a two cylinder Kawasaki engine. He was in a rush to get it repaired so, I gave it a quick look. He said an employee was mowing and it stopped...

Had to special order it. Has a Kawasaki 200.50 hp engine too. I found the model number on the Hydro-Gear transaxle ZJ-GMFE-3B5B-1PLX Having trouble finding the correct seal kit for it. I can find kits but they don't cross reference the kit number to the transaxle number. Does anybody know...

Can not remove carb or intake manifold without removing the exhaust system.

I got in a 2017 Ferris walk behind with a Kawasaki FX651V 20.5 hp engine. It is missing on the left cylinder at lower rpms. It has great compression and spark. It will run fine on both cylinders by applying a bit of choke which leads me to believe there's a blockage in the carburetor. In order...

I got in a 2017 Ferris walk behind 52' deck and a Kawasaki 20.5 hp engine. There's a hydraulic oil leak coming from the left transaxle. It appears to be coming out of about a 1/2" shaft or plug on the wheel side of the unit. I can't determine exactly what it is. I haven't been able to see it...

Working on Ferris walk behind 5900679-52"-25hp. Is there any way to adjust the parking brake? Left side holds fair but, the right side holds nothing. Also the motion control bar doesn't stay up and has to be held up to start the engine. thanks, gregjo1948

I'm working on Ferris walk behind 5900679 that the operator presence handles don't shut off the machine. With the blades engaged and removing hands from the operator presence handles, the machine continues to run. The safety switch to the handles is functioning as it should so why doesn't the...

I'm working on a Ferris 5900678 walk behind with a 52"deck. I got a new belt #5104065YP that is too long. The best I can determine is, it's the correct number. I wonder if anyone knows what the length of the correct belt should be or did I order the wrong belt? I'm wondering if the new belt may...

Where does the governor spring attach at the opposite end from the governor arm? thanks, gregjo1948

IS3000Z-- will run on left tank reserve but, not on left tank or right tank. Can blow back thru the gas line when fuel selector lever is on left or right tank with no resistance but, when blowing back thru with selector on left tank reserve, it blows bubbles as it should in the left tank. The...

I have a Briggs 094332 0114 B1 that starts up, runs 15 seconds, then dies. I've cleaned it about 10 times with a cleaning wire and soaked it for 2 days. I stole another carb off a mower and it does the same thing. Cleaned the tank and installed a new fuel line. Any ideas????? I'd buy a new...

Looking at a Ferris Z with no model markings.(decals) How can I determine which model it is and what year it is? thanks, gregjo1948

I have a 27hp Kohler on a Ferris 3100Z mower that mows great. Problem is when not mowing and running at low rpm it misfires. Coils are set at .012 and plugs at.030. Could it be idle jet in carb dirty? thanks, gregjo1948

I'm trying to figure out how to determine the manufactured year of Ferris mowers. I was told the first 4 digits in the serial number is the year for walk behinds. Not sure that's correct and it certainly doesn't work for the Zs. thanks, gregjo1948

Could someone tell me the torque specs for a Kohler CV14T? Thank you, gregjo1948

Got in a Kohler CV14T---spec#1412, to repair. About the third pull on the starter rope, it pulls so hard the rope will break. I don't understand the compression release on the exhaust valve. Nothing appears to be wrong with it. Could a weak lifter cause the valve not to slightly open as it...

Kohler CV750----I'm looking for the best place to buy a carburetor fuel shutoff solenoid. The number on it is 4ZG but that doesn't seem likely to be a good part number.

Kohler CV750---Can the lifters be removed without removing the head? Thanks!!!

27 hp Kohler on an IS3100 Ferris Z. I have power to the center terminal of the regulator/rectifier. Using a test light on the other two terminals, they brighten when the engine is reved up. Testing the battery, with engine off, reads about 12.73 volts and running the engine it looses volts. Why...

Model--IS3000ZKAV2561--Serial 343 I need the specs on the electric clutch. the clearance gap and the mounting bolt torque. Thanks, gregjo1948

Kohler CV750--When starting cold engine, I have to pour a splash of gas into the carb to get it to fire up. After it's starts, it runs great at idle all the way to full throttle and if I shut it down, it will start right back up. I installed a new fuel pump and cleaned the carb which didn't...

Old Ferris mower with Fh541v-SA20 Kawasaki engine... Can some one tell me how/where to attach the choke rod to the carb linkage? The choke is supposed to operate when the throttle is opened to full throttle and release when throttle lever is move off full throttle position. Thank you, Greg

FH541V-SA20-- How can I check the regulator to see if it's working as it should? Thanks, gregjo1948

I have an older Ferris 61" with a 17 hp Kawasaki engine. It starts and runs well. The problem is that it is getting gas in the oil. If the fuel solenoid is faulty, can gas get into the cylinder thru the carb and past the rings to end up in the crankcase? Thanks , gregjo1948

Where can I find parts for a Snapper S75X? Thanks, gregjo1948

FH680V right side cylinder skips until it is fully warmed up. Runs on both when started and if throttle is eased open it runs fine. Throttle quickly or engage the blades it drops the right cylinder. New spark plug installed didn't help. Adjusted coil clearance--didn't help. Could it be a weak...

Ferris IS1500 5900751 2013050796 Briggs&Stratton 277168 7BSXB-9932VB Can anyone tell me what the year and hp this mower is? Thank you, gregjo1948

Just pick up a Snapper Pro S75x 5900859 serial 2014063039. It is so jerky to steer that I can't keep it in a straight line to mow. I run the engine full throttle so it mows at it's best but, full speed ahead causes a very spastic steering. The very slightest control lever movement to either...

I have a Ferris walkbehind 5900679--serial 2013302707. Moves as it should for a while then the left side starts weakening. Eventually it won't move at all on the left side. Before I tear it down; is there a way to check the pump pressure? Any ideas of what's wrong will be appreciated...

23hp FH680V Kaw..... When I turn ignition off, it takes 10-15 seconds for the engine to stop running. It starts as it should and, so far, always does shut down. Would a faulty fuel solenoid cause this? Thank you, gregjo1948

IS3100Z--- Right side drive hydraulics making a rapid tapping noise. I can feel the tapping in the hydraulic lines when moving the drive lever forward or back. Tapping changes from one line to the other depending on which way I move the lever. There is no tapping with the lever centered. When...

CV730S is smoking blue smoke. Compression is 140 on both cylinders. The smoke appears to be coming from the breather box on the right side valve cover with a small hose leading to the carb. Any help would be appreciated. gregjo1948

Can anyone tell me what to set my valves at on 11.5HP I/C. The number on it is 5BSXS 3442 VM and I can't find anything with this number. I tried putting a zero before the 5 to get the 6 digits that are usually used and still got nothing. THank you.gregjo1948

Working on an 11.5hp I/C Briggs. The plastic recoil parts are broken, even the handle grip that you pull. The owner wants it converted to electic start because it pulls over so hard it breaks the recoil. I installed a stator,flywheel with starter ring gear and a starter. The engine has too...

Working on a Ferris walk behind comfort control DD. Push the forward motion bar down/forward and the mower goes fine until I turn either way. When squeezing the right or left turn lever, the forward motion bar returns toward the stop position, causing the machine to nearly stop. If I hold the...

Are Exmark and Toro related? Thanks gregjo1948

While cranking over to start this Kawasaki FH680V 23 hp, it lets out a big bang thru the exhaust. On cold start, I use about 1/3 throttle and full choke. After about 8 revolutions, it lets out this big bang from the exhaust ,then starts up in another revolution or 2. Once it is running, it runs...
