    Ariens 915268 Ikon 42 zero turn No crank !

    Sound to me as if one of the safety switches is not operating properly whether the switch is bad, out of adjustment or a broken wire. Use the trouble light or multimeter to trace the bad switch or wire Here is the ariens site for the manuals for your machine. I tried to attach the parts book...

    Briggs & Stratton 8250 storm responder carb bowl held on with Phillips head screws???

    The first one I came to I tried a small, metric I believe, socket. It has taken out a lot of those screws without the price oof special tools.

    Replaced Ignition Switch now blades engage but won't disengage

    Without a RIO that should not be possible IF the correct switch is installed. But it the mower has RIO,which according to the diagram it does not, that again should not be possible but I have seen electric do strange things. Best to take a volt reading on the clutch wire to be sure it is no...

    Replaced Ignition Switch now blades engage but won't disengage

    Don't believe you problem is ignition switch related, as the PTO switch should be the disconnect for the clutch unless you have a RIO and the key switch is the wrong one and is backfeeding the clutch. Compare the terminals on the old switch with the new switch to be sure the new one is correct...

    Kohler CH22 starving for gas

    You did not (at least what I read) the make of the mower. I will state what I have found on Gravely Z turns. There is a steel fitting that pushes thru a bushining into the fuel tank. On the other end of that fitting is a flexible hose that is pushed onto and special clamped onto the fitting. As...

    Rattling noise when rotating flywheel

    White/blue smoke will be produced by oil. If you inspect the gasket especially the area that borders the push rod cavity you should see a place where it is "blown out" This allows compression into the crankcase.Since the breather cannot handle the extra blow by it forces oil into the tube that...

    Rattling noise when rotating flywheel

    The intake valve will lose clearance and the valve will open slightly. So it doesn't matter where your main focus is on. If you do focus on the push rod side it will move first until the clearance of the valve setting is gone then the rocker will get tight and move the valve. Hope that is what...

    Rattling noise when rotating flywheel

    From the video it appears you have excessive clearence betweenn the valve stem and rocker arm. If the valves are adjusted properly there should be just a small movement of the rockers, the feeler gauge should eliminate any play. By what I am referring to if you turn the engine over slowly the...

    Rattling noise when rotating flywheel

    A sheared flywheel key will change the ignition timing. It will not change the speed of the engine, if anything will make it no start, pop back thru the carburetor, or run very labored. You had the carburetor off to remove the head, be sure the linkage is free and set in the right holes. Be sure...

    Plus the ones at top top that thread into the head there are two about half way down the sides if you have an oil cooler there is not one under the cooler but there is one on the other side and there are two at the bottom on each side, usually one grounds the regulator. There are none on the...

    Honda HRR2167VXA mower vibration

    Honda cranks are cheap compared to Briggs or Kohler but it looks like they are trying to catch up. A few years ago they were about $39.00 now they are about $89.00. To replace the crank I found easiest to remove the blower housing and flywheel, remove blade and adapter and trans drive pulley...

    17.5HP Intek Briggs and Stratton

    You said it will speed up IF you move the governor arm. Correct? When you open the dash control does the governor arm move to open the throttle? When the engine is stopped the faster the dash control goes should apply more force trying to open the throttle plate. If not there is an issure with...

    17.5HP Intek Briggs and Stratton

    Does the governor spring stretch when you move the dash lever to fast? Recheck you put the governor link (governor to carb) after you rebult the carburetor. From the issue you state it sounds as if the governor spring is unhooked or is not being stretched when the dash lever is moved.

    Grass Diverter Insanity

    While they are a pain in the butt, be aware if the discharge deflecter is missing or tied up AND an object whether it is a rock, can, stick or other object flies out from the mower and hurts or kills someone you can be held liable.

    Starter reluctant to engage flywheel on Honda GXV630

    Often the starting circuit, as it passes thru all the safety switches, loses voltage and does not have enough to activate the solenoid properly. John Deere had the same issue with their tractors and even made a kit to fix it. To test the problem, short the big post on the solenoid to the S...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember that for the ignition module to function both wires must be connected to a spark plug. yet the service manual does not specify. Does your engine have points or is it magnatron Note the trouble shooting paragraph and illustration below. If someone can...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    Lets try again -- one of these times you may just get it right! Hope you don't take this as I'm insulting you, as I said before just trying to help. The governor spring always attempts to pull the throttle plate too wide open, whether the engine is running or not. In fact as the engine is...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    If you can control the speed by moving the carb lever to touch the idle speed screw, you don't have a carb problem. When starting and operating the engine the external governor arm should move the carburetor to idle and you will have to overcome the governor force to speed up the engine if the...

    Kawasaki FD731V AS09 ignition/coils testing question

    May be a dumb question but do both cylinders have compression? I have seen twin engines come in on running on one cylinder. One rod was broken. But it "just needs a tuneup, it is low on power". Do you have an inline spark tester? The one that looks like a troubleshooting current tester? Install...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    By the video you have everthing correct on the inside. Not that you do not know what youi are doing, you seem quite knowlegable. But I question the external adjustment. I you turn the shaft correctly remember you are moving the lever against the thimble, so when the engine starts the weights...

    New carb revs too high

    Be sure there is no "governed idle" spring on the governor arm. If you manually move the carburetor linkage will the engine slow down? The governed idle maintains a preset speed and is used when the engine is idling and you engage the deck or move the mower it does not stall. It is adjusted by...

    Won't Spin Past Compression Stroke

    The 28, 31 and 33 seris use a compression release to help the small starter spin the engine. If you did not have a release you would need a starter the size of the one on a car, truck, or tractor. The compression release opens the intake valves on these engines just a few thousansth of an inch...

    By a thin wire I just meant something that would go between the block and sump to be sure the governor is engaging the cam. Somewhere you've got to win!! Just trying to share what I have learned over the years, as I know governor are a a mystery to most people.

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    Looks like you have the shaft/lever turned the right way Notice the little shiny spot on the lever that is where the thimble is contacting the lever. While it is apart spin the governor and see if the flyweights and thimble move properly. As you are reinstalling the pan check to be sure the...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    Does moving the governor arm to the slow position control the engine speed? without the engine running? From all that you have posted I question if the lever of the governor arm is. turned properly and the governor is pushing against it -- because you have no force moving the arm toward idle...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    How about a lesson on how a governor works?? The governor contained in the crankcase has two flyweights on it and the lever on the flyweight forces the thimble away from the gear. The thimble applies force to the lever on the end of the shaft that passes thru the case and has the arm mounted on...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    With the engine not running there should be spring force trying to pull the throttle open. Yours according to the service manual has a "governed Idle" which does not allow the carburetor to close and touch the speed adjustment screw on the carb. It is designed to allow the operator to idle the...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    Some engines do this but I am not familiar (don't remember really) it has been a while since I have worked at one of the opposed flat head twins. The best would be to follow the linkage and see if there is a link or lever to do so. Even the service manual has no clear picture of the control. If...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    You stated you were able to bring it back to idle by using a wire -- does the governor are try to pull it back to idle? If not there could be one of two issues. Governor not adjusted properly which you said you did, or the internal governor has a problem which could be 1. the flyweights weights...

    422707-121401 sump gasket

    The engine speed is controlled by a balancing act between the governor and the governor spring. When the engine is running the governor should pull the carburetor closed, when you start the engine is there any force opposing the sparing? Trying to close the throttle? Can you hold the governor...

    Engine shakes while engaging blades

    Blown head gasket a common problem on Breaks & Scrapem singles especially the 28 and 31 cube engines. Some overeducated engineer thought they did not need a headbolt in the pushrod area and therefore it is a long distance between the two head bolts. Quickest way to check for a blown gasket is to...

    M-ZT 52 Stops running when hot!

    54 inch riding mower just clicks, won't start

    You say it "just clicks when the key is turned" Is that to the run position or start?

    Somthing to think about. A V twin engine fires the same as the two cylinder John Deere. One cylinder fires and the other fires 90* later then there is no power for 270* turn of the crankshaft. John Deere had an issue using single barrel carburetors because the first cylinder was lean and the...
