    Remove the bolt to the right of the fuel cap and the tank and carb should come off together than you can separate the carb from the tank.

    McLane 3.5 HP edger- Revs and then slows and repeats, surging

    Carb not clean enough. Surging is almost related to a dirty carb, unusually in the idle circuit. Since carb engines run on the idle circuit even at full rpm with no load.

    Cold engine surging

    That is actually normal especially with the newer EPA mowers because they run too lean when they are cold.. I have seen several newer engines that won't even start below 50 degrees without outside assistance.

    Used mower pricing.

    What I am seeing in my area is even the fixer uppers are going for stupid prices. Here is an example. https://www.bidschmid.com/auctions/6555/lot/75782-rhino-zero-turn-lawn-mower-should-run-but-do-not-have-a-key-61-deck-shows-295-hours From looking at it the air filter has never been changed...

    Hydro Gear spins backwards after new center section and seals... puzzled

    To help us narrow it down it would help if we had the actual model number from the tag. ZT2200 covers about 50 different models. And what center section did you order by part number. I am suspecting wrong center sections and it is plumbed for the opposite direction. Normally this happens...

    Advice on what brand is most reliable these days

    Basically you will find that all the brands are basically made by 3 companies. SBD(Legacy MTD) Husqvarna, and Toro. And Briggs has never made Murray, They may own them but have always farmed out the manufacturing to either SBD or Husqvarna until recently, but are now licensed to the same...

    Quick change valve

    I have had several over the years that you couldn't tighten the drain due to the flats hitting the frame below the engine. Have to remove engine to tighten the twist and pull drains.

    First Oil Change

    There has always been the clause of recommending changing the engine oil at half the recommended hour if used in dirty-dusty conditions, used under heavy load, or ran during periods of high temperatures. And most mowers during the summer hit all 3.

    Quick change valve

    There is no hard stop to prevent pulling the thing apart again. And you will be tightening the threaded portion everytime you service the mower.

    Quick change valve

    If I was you and had removed the entire drain valve, I would replace it with a drain hose and not that twist and pull valve that is known to unscrew from the engine, break off and come apart, either way I have seen more than one of those valves cause unexpected sudden engine disassembly.

    First Oil Change

    Actually the first oil change at either 5 or 10 hours has been eliminated on engines equipped with an oil filter. First recommended oil change is now 100 hours. So don't get overly concerned about the first oil change and just change it at the end of season.

    OK no hotwire

    Here is a starting point But from your description I would say the ignition switch acting up in the past would be a starting point. But the crackling sounds like broken wire or loose connection which will take some visual inspection of the wiring connectors etc.

    Lube head bolts?

    Or in the case of the old Kohler K-series it was recommended to replace the head bolts. The understanding was the bolts were designed to expand and contract with the aluminum, but were basically a one time torque to yield bolt.

    Engine won't crank - Stuck on compression?

    With the valve gaps set correctly, and the spark plug removed for easier engine turning, turn the engine by hand while watching the intake valve. Just before TDC compression stroke you should see the intake valve get bumped open slightly. That is the compression release. If no bump then time...

    Wiring diagram for JD Gator XUV 620i

    In this case I don't think there is a single fuse or fuse pin that isn't corroded to the point that all of them are probably causing issues. My first order of business is to rebuild the fuse block. And that maybe all that is needed to repair the no start issue.

    Briggs&Stratton Snowblower Engine 16.5 HP

    Once upon a time there were typically .010,.020,.030 oversize pistons. Most mower engine manufacturers have dropped the .010 and .030 oversize pistons sizes, which leaves the ..020 as the only oversize option available. And in some cases there were never any oversize pistons offered. Demand...

    Kohler CH22 starving for gas

    Shuts down as if you turn off the key doesn't sound like fuel issue to me. Loss of fuel issue normally will spit and sputter a few seconds before actually dying. Issue to me thinks more of a loss of spark issue. Does this engine have the oil pressure switch which could be faulting out and...

    Husqv hydrostatic transmission

    Will need more clarification since the 4622 brings up Zero turns not lawn tractor style mowers. And if this is a Z turn than it would have 2 hydro's not one, which would lead to more of a belt issue than a tranny issue. So we will need the actual model and serial number from the mower tag to...

    Honda GCV160 Engine wont run when choke is off?

    Worked on a mower with the same engine as yours that would run for about 5 minutes and then die like running out of gas. Clean carb, or in some cases drain carb and would run another 5 minutes. Ended up being a faulty spark plug. So that may be something that you may want to check and replace.

    225 won’t run without the starter engaged

    I suspect both issues are related. If the key is in the run position do you have battery voltage at the voltage regulator. If standard 15 amp regulator The center pin will be the B+. I am thinking you don't have voltage to the regulator which is also effecting the voltage to the fuel...

    The issue is they are showing the starter for the use after 140601 but nothing for the before numbers. And the new series starte doesn't fit the old series blowing housing. I suspect the only way to get around it would be to order the starter/blower housing kit.

    In replacing a run of wire … can 16 Gauge be substituted for 18 Gauge without issue?

    Yes you can always go heavier gauge. Mowers tend to be made on the very edge of acceptable wiring to make them function when new, but add corrosion and those almost too small wires can create issues.

    Sporadic/Intermittent Engine Noise
