pears and wind do not do well together. Sorry about your mess - and the afib is not good either. I was diagnosed with it about 60 days ago and am now on thinners for the rest of my life to help mitigate stroke risk. You might consider seeing if a local gardener has a crew who can remove it. That...

do you also have the John Deere part number? If so you may have better luck running that here https://www.wixfilters.com/en-us/filter-finder.html or any other cross reference, Napaonline etc..

Is it a slot that is like a half moon, or one like a plain slot. That will make the difference where it goes, c/o huyett.com or c/o ls1tech

make sure that there is no asbestos dust when you do that or your $50 saving may cost your life, or anyone else exposed.

there are two or three kinds of "backfires." Is it coming back out the carb? Is it an explosion in the muffler Is it fuel and air igniting outside the exhaust? Is it a random "misfire" that you are hearing? Each has a different cause. You need to do a better job of determining exactly what...

Amazon or Ebay

I get different part numbers when I look at the fiche 094049E701MA https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=094049E701MA&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_odkw=94049E701MA&_osacat=0 094047E701MA...

did you look on ebay? I saw a couple there

what is the part number or photo of it etc

What happens if you stop some day in the middle of the mowing for five minutes and it doesn't have enough to kick it over - "now what do I do, push it home? It's 100F outside." Generally Lead Acid batteries are good for 4 to 5 years max, the average is 3 - 4. Starters can draw more current and...

it is at least 8 years old. replace it.

i'd be spraying a couple squirts of penetrating oil thru the spark plug hole down the cylinder walls because it sounds like the piston rings were rusted to the cylinder. Running that without some lubrication will only tear up the rings.

do you have two threads on this going?

call the people who provided you the sod to see if they have any suggestions. If some Canadian goose flew over it and took a dump from 4,000', they will have the same issue from more than one person.

what has already been said and, when was the last time it ran, and where has it been sitting since then? Is this a new mower to you? What is the history of maintenance on it?

so you sheared the bolt and the key. No way is that crankshaft not tweaked as a bend or twist. The key flat side usually goes into the crankshaft. Make sure the sparkplug wire is out when you work on it. Torque the bolt to specs. Then make note where one end of the blade is close to the edge of...

I do mine in the fall :)

If alum foil works go with it. I was going to suggest silicone fabric or sheet. It is good to 500F.

annual blue grass is easy to get rid of. Took me years to believe that but it is. You can use POA Constrictor this time of year, and then late next year just as it starts to cool down, put down a pre-emergent. POA is a cool season and spring grass. It slows or dies in hot weather. Bag your...

You say "Hex head." Is it Torx, Allen, or Star? Look closely and Google them if that means nothing to you. You need the right one for whatever kind of bolt it is.

that is messed up. Take the drain plug to your flaps and ask them for a thread chaser that size. Frankly I think you are looking at a helicoil or threadcert. You may not have cross threaded it, just way over tightened it until it stripped,

I suspect that it did more than shear the bolt that holds the blades on. It likely bent the crankshaft, certainly damaged the blade. You need the series number to look up the correct part. K4, K5, K6, K7, K8 etc. Look up the full serial number. The K8 for example uses an upper and lower blade...

totally depends on how an engine is used and cared for.

takes 3 things to make an internal combustion engine run - fuel and air, spark at the right time, and compression. One or more is missing or poor. 1. Try spraying a little Berrymans carb spray, like pssst pssst, into the carb. Try to start it. If it starts right up and dies (or keeps going)...

does it have too much compression to pull over by hand, or is it one that you pull and pull and pull but it never starts? How old is the fuel?

My two cents is that when an engine breaks a rod, parts fly around and break other things. To know what is broken you must take it apart. Then if you hand a basket of parts back to the owner they say but I gave it to you assembled. Sometimes you are lucky and maybe only $300 or $400 in parts...

if you are a dealer call tech support.

I'll lay odds that if you plug in a CO detector or a battery powered one it will trip too. You need to vent the exhaust gasses far enough from the shed that they can't be sucked back into the shed.

:) I prefer to talk lawnmowers. They are easier to understand.

Get help before the depression and anger kills you. If you are trying to kill the forum, you are doing a good job of it with your anger.

some people have good days, Others never have a good day. I guess your news service has not told you that USPS is accepting packages from both China and Hong Kong. Taiwan was never affected. Temu, Shein, Amazon are all shipping to consumers from China too. The packaging was only suspended for...

there are factory catalogs of rings. They have diameter, thickness, type, tensile strength - all sorts of things. I had to match a set of no longer available Ferrari Dino rings once. Turned out a set of dodge racing rings were .001 thicker, same depth and the same diameter. The ring lands were...

duplicate thread https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/predator-9500-generator-backfiring-on-shutdown.78808/

the ignition coil has a grounding wire (kill wire) attached to it so once it is turned off it has no spark. If that is intermittent due to corrosion at the coil if a spade lug, or at the kill switch then it can ignite the mixture again even though it is turned off. If the exhaust is full of...

does the kill wire have a good ground or is it possible rust has built up so the kill wire allows some small amount of voltage to the coil. I've seen a couple videos where the cause of irregular shutdowns was rust and corrosion built up in the kill system, loose spade lug on the coil etc.. Use...

maybe first 3 minutes or so shows how to remove auger and belt. Supposedly this same model as yours but rebranded. It actually came up quickly in a Google search using your model number.

Can we drop politics for a while please.

you say "the owner" which implies you are the mechanic. Why are you asking here when you haven't even put in time to see what the damage is. Sort of pointless to ask until you know what you are working with. If you don't want to work on it, put one of these on it and send it home.

really old thread. Why is this being revived?

IMHO consider building a business plan for you in your area, and see how the math works out. It is all about the math. Include the cost of how people will find you. Price in the cost of rent, store fixtures, insurance and what you think the profit margin / labor rate will be etc.., what it will...

does it have a fuel cut off? If so the bowl may be leaking down, and it takes time to fill it. Also, if you are using ether for starting fluid, it is a lot more explosive than gasoline. It is possible you are too rich and not too lean. Try a small squirt of gasoline instead of starting fluid and...

a new coil on Amazon from a good seller with an excellent part rating is only $10 - $20, with next day delivery. The factory part is under $50.

did you pull off more than the wheels?

We are a throw away society. People in general are not willing to pay for repairs - how do I say it politely - they believe they are worth $100 an hour but the other guy isn't. To me, I see it in how people treat each other all the time when I am out in someone's shop listening to strangers...

unless it came from the factory oversize, or the OP has a real old time machine shop that is willing to hone or bore the cylinder out to oversize, .020 oversize rings will probably be way too big. I used to bore engines for a living when in my 20's and 30's, and it requires precision machinery...

regardless, the station bought fuels here cause havoc with the zama and walbro carbs that can be avoided by draining the fuel out and running dry after each use. Doing so only takes about a minute and they last years that way. I used the cooler plug. It started up on first pull after sitting...

maybe get one of those cheap plastic storage containers, or empty one you have stuff in for a couple days, fill it with water, and use that to look for the leak.

thank you. I think that the superseded plug will be best and will stay with it. Thank you. set it to .026" as that was the manual spec and old plug was about .027" I get it. My old garage door opener would not work when a neighbor was using his cheap Chinese leaf blower. That said, resistor...

Have an older Echo PB-201 hand held 2-cycle leaf blower about 2006 vintage. Runs great and going to pass it on to a friend who can use it. We have converted to battery because the Mrs insists on using a leaf blower and she has a bad arm and can't pull starters. So here is the question. The Echo...
