407777 0188 B1 On a service call, started out, this thing ran like crap. Lot's of back firing through the exhaust. After about 10 minutes of it running & mowing, it seemed to clear up. It was still backfiring, but in spurts, it would completely clear up for several seconds. Maybe even a...

I found the low idle RPM. But can't find the WOT RPM spec. This one is running right at 6,900 to 7,000. It sounds like it could run more, safely. But it's got limiters on it. Anyone know what the RPM's are supposed to be at WOT?

Wood chipper, sight unseen. Just talking to a friend who lives over an hour away. Discussing this over the phone. He pulled it out of storage and ran it for a while. Said he changed the plug (RJ19LM) removed the tank and cleaned out. Put it back on with fresh gas and fired it up. Said he...

M# LGT2654 Product # 960450047 S# 061815A031116 Briggs 407777 0274 G5 A couple of issues here. This engine has the smaller crank because it had the manual PTO. The rider it's on now, once had an electric PTO. Using the crank & deck pulley, the deck belt pulley rubs the drag links when I turn...

M# LGT2654 Product # 960450047 S# 061815A031116 Briggs 407777 0274 G5 It used to have a Kohler twin cylinder on it. But switching to a Briggs from a JD. This is just going to be for pulling a yard trailer. No electric PTO anymore or deck, since the Brigg's has the smaller crank, from a JD...

Anyone every tried using a real bearing instead of these? I'm not even sure why they call these bearings. Flange Bearing. Model # LGT2654 S# 960450047

Greentree is saying this product is 8.40in tall and 7.35in wide. I've never seen one that tall, with the big primer hole. I don't have the model number, because the QR code doesn't work. It's only got a serial number 12 0410 54 72598. 140cc 550 EX(I think)

FD501V-CS00 E/No FD501V061146 For some reason, this fan (just below the radiator) had one fin that had dropped down, like it got hot. And was rubbing on the fan shroud. All the others were fine. No drooping at all. So I heated it up and bent it back up, so it wouldn't hit. Question is, is...

JD put the valve cores on the inside of their steer wheels, on their regular mower. Can you just flip the rims around? Or do they have to go on the inside?

ZT42. 915178 The deck bearings where howling so after replacing them with new, after tightening them up, they still howl. Especially one, that has resistance when I turn the blade. Remove the spindle, and rotate the bearings with your finger, and they're quiet as a mouse. Nice and smooth...

015-2750-00 Bad Boy Muffler for 27hp Kophler SV840-3012 They're wanting over $300 for this. It must have gold plating on the inside. Part muffler, part catalytic converter? lol

Briggs 44S777-0016-G1 23hp On a Husqvarna Z346 Ok, I've been had. Good one fella's. Jokes on me. Har har. :p That thing that was posted about how a oil dip stick will flop around if it's got a bad head gasket, well I tried it on this one, and it did just that. But I also tried it on another...

Does this engine have a compression release? I'm seeing some with, and some without. The engine is acting like, if it's got an ARC, the valves need to be adjusted. But it's got one valve cover bolt that I'm almost sure is going to break off in the head if I mess with it anymore. Build date...

Model # 13R2320021FG1 It's surging, unless I choke it about 2/3rds. I cleaned the carb. Which wasn't bad, that I could see. There was a little trash in the bottom of the bowl that had been sitting.. Also a little more in the shut off that's built onto this carb. The pilot jet wasn't clear...

TCG22EAS(SLP) One of my customers gave me one of these the other day. Saying it was always leaking, so he'd bought a new one. So, I found the leak and fixed it. Check the spark and compression, both were good. Changed the fuel lines, primer bulb and what was left of the air filter. It fired...

Normally, when I get one of these newer Craftsman, Murray or Troybilt weed eaters, that's only a few years old, they've got probably that usually cost too much to fix. Scored cylinders, low compression or a combination of things. But, I took in some work from one of my regular customers (5...

Customer say his chain brake hasn't worked since he got it back from the last shop. I've never worked on a Dolmar, but the way the piece (circled in red) is bumping up against the cover, I'd say it's on backwards. At least I thought it was backways til I looked at this new one. Ah wait...

Bad Boy ZTR 60" Model # 6000 ZT S# BBZ6027K002102249 I'm getting a little over 12v to the electric motor on the actuator, but it's not making a sound. No clicking, Nothing. So, I'm guessing the actuator motor is bad. Looks like he's whacked on this thing plenty of times. He says that how...

I haven't seen this saw yet. My brother said he's got a Jonered CS58 (Note. He wasn't at his saw when he gave me the model number. But said he thinks that's the right one). He was either sold the wrong blade or bar (or both). None the less, he says it won't cut at all. So I'm trying to...

Ooops, it's a MS460... Not a 4601. The customer dropped this off and said it had been sitting a while and just wanted me to check it out. Said he hadn't even tried to start it. So I pulled the plug, which looked fine. Peaked at the cylinder walls, they were fine. Removed the muffler and checked...

FD501V-CS00 E/NO FD501V061146 It's on my LX188 (water cooled) This carb has some sort of overflow tube, or breather coming out the top of it. Was mowing, when it died. Like it was running out of gas. After a minute or so, it fired back up and ran rough back to the garage. That's when I...

I'm just seeing these. And I'm wondering if they're going to have the same Stihl quality. Introducing the All-new STIHL Zero-turn mowers Some very nice features.

The M111358 bushings (24) are worn. I'm ordering some new ones. But was wondering if it would be OK to bend that arm (9A) the spring attaches to. Say maybe 1inch? Just enough to clear the belt? It's going to take a week to get the parts. I kind of need to mow before the rain comes.

I'm getting a lot of different results trying to look this up. Some say regular 10w-30. some say 5w-50. I called john deere and they said what they use was HyGard "low viscosity." But it didn't have numbers on it. What do you fella's recommend?

Someone gave me an LX188. It's been sitting forever. Even the mower they bought to replace it is old. So this one must be ancient. None the less, if you look at a piece of plastic on this thing it breaks. I was seeing if it would fire off and pushed the throttle lever to the choke position...

Took in a blower that had aftermarket carb on it. Customer said the tank, or something was leaking fuel. So I filled it, cranked it, adjust the carb some and ran it. (I didn't check the RPM's). It never would really adjust just right. The high side was only at about 1/4 open. But, it was still...

Kohler V twin. Gonna adjust the valves on it because it's not turning over very well. Kind of starts and stops turning over mid stream. The battery is charged fully. I've had one or two of these break off. It's always the same one. Bottom right. So these two bolts (both cylinders) are tight as...

Bad Boy ZTR 60" Model # 6000 ZT S# BBZ6027K002102249 Not a whole lot of info on this. I did a search of this site for badboy accuator and come up with nothing. From what I've read around the internet(s), it's a pretty simple task, R&Ring the actuator, cleaning it out, getting it back on the...

6000 ZT S# BBZ6027K002102249 Kohler M# SV840-3012 S# 4003614973 Major bogging when I engage the PTO. Cleaned out the fuel lines, drained some water from the tank and the carburetor bowl. Replace the fuel pump & filter. Got it starting and running way better. When I engaged the blades, 80's of...

Wrong thread. Moved to Bad Boy

Hey folks. I'm looking for a parts diagram for a Poulan/Weed Eater push mower. Model number is HD81486C. The I could be a 1. I've tried both and can't seem to find a diagram online.

It's only a few months old and not sure about the carb adjustment. If it was a regular 2 cycle, I'd adjust the carb. At 3/4 to WOT, it's strokin hard. But it being a 4 mix, the dealer says that's normal. Only he doesn't understand the what I'm talk about when I say it's strokin. At just shy of...

JD D160 Briggs 44S977-0026G1 Customer complains that she's having to go over most of her yard twice. I got it here to the shop and started mowing and she's right. After mowing a few stretches, and it looks almost like when you mow in reverse. So I sharpened the blades, leveled the deck, and...

One of the advantages of having some experience in working on small engines, is knowing what to look for before you buy. Such as the availability of parts for that particular model. Being able to check to see if there's after market parts. Also, maybe having the opportunity to working on one...

I just replaced this carburetor and fuel filter a couple of months ago. Was mowing when the Kawasaki started acting up. So I removed the fuel solenoid and let the fuel drain into a clean container. There was a lot of rusty colored specs. So I removed the float bowl and is was an 1/16" thick with...

13WQ93KP011 Super bronco Running at full throttle, battery is charging over 13v. Getting about 14v in and out of the PTO with the switch pulled/on. (almost nothing when switch is off) But it's not engaging. The ohms are 0.00 on the tractor. So I'm thinking it's just a bad PTO. Is there...

Troybilt Super Bronco 13WQ93KP011 Kohler KT735-3012 Replaced fuse, and blew immediately. Removed the + battery cable and replaced it again. Blew as soon as I reconnected the battery Removed the voltage regulator connect, replaced the fuse (ran out of 20's, used a 25) Plugged the regulator back...

My landlord wants me to weed eat around her pond. Especially that thick stuff that grows just inside the water. She's got a Briggs trimmer on wheels, that works pretty good. But it just kills my back after about 10 minutes, on the high sloped side. So I broke out my GT225, but the string...

23hp on a Gravely ztr. I'm trying to find the right carb for this, but I'm not finding any numbers anywhere. I can see where the sticker used to be. Does Kawasaki stamp anything on the engines?

According to their website: 26.5 HP Gravely Engine and two-stage canister filtration for longer engine life. It’s backed by a 4-year, 750 hour warranty.

Kawasaki FR691V Does putting a bowl gasket (rubber) in boiling water help expand it long enough to get it back on and tightened?

KT746-3011 BD: 08/02/2015 Feeling pretty good today, so I thought I'd check out why this Kohler was locked up. It's impossible to turn from the engine fan. Put a big pair of channel locks on the crank (the rusty part, just below the crank seal) and gave it a tug in both directions, and it...

Well, the first time I've mowed for a long period of time on one. Spent about 2.5hours on it. It's a 52" cut, IIRC. Decent size Kawasaki engine. Darn thing bout beat me to death. The landlord said she'd knock $100 off my rent if I mowed her big *** yard. Good grief man, she's got a huge place...

Hey everyone. I've been out of sorts lately. Some medical issues (Back, knee and elbow) Still not back to up to par. But supervising my nephew on a problem he has. It'll run for a few seconds. (30 sec. tops) then just die. Spark test: When it dies, the crank is still turns enough rounds to see...

This is on a scag 61. Horizontal engine. Only one place to get a prybar under the fly wheel at, being there's not much room without taking the intake off. So with the one place to pry from, using the snap-on air hammer, didn't do the trick. So I've got the puller on it, and using the tire...

6.5hp Chonda engine on a NIkota 3500w Gen. It has what looks like a capacitor in it. This thing is old, so I'm guessing that's also a regulator. Anywho, After making the repairs on this (carb mainly), I checked the voltage. From one plug, I dialed up the governor to 120v's. The other plug...

This thing runs pretty good. Just not closed to the RPM's I think it should run. Adjusting the H out, really doesn't change anything, unless I'm closing it. Took the recoil off and found a pretty bad crank seal leak. Very wet around it. Question: Would a crank seal have that same affect on...

PTO cable for a MTD tiller, 212-390-000.

Some of you guru's, please correct me if I'm wrong about this. I'm getting some of last years left overs ready to sell this spring, and ran across this trimmer someone gave me last year. The carb was junk, so I tossed it into the "rebuild later bin" and put a new Amazon carb on it. The carb...
