Some of you may recall how I have a B&S 24HP V-twin that's ALWAYS been hard to start and long story short I did EVERYTHING to fix that (and the engine popping) issue. Well the whole story (that lasted well over 3 years) will send you to sleep (and numb my fingertips on this keyboard) but it...

I've just replaced my hour meter with a twin temperature gauge. The top temp is engine oil and the bottom temp is Transaxle. Now I don't have to worry about over working either :thumbsup: :laughing: All the best. Neo

Hi Gents, Here's one to test your fault diagnostic skills on lol! I have a B&S 24HP V-Twin (Model 445677 - Family 6BSXS.7242VF) Which is a horizontal V with dual barrel carburetor. It start Ok and revs up Ok (a little hesitant) but when idles the anti-stall is always blipping the throttle...

Hi, Is there an easy way to measure the Crankshaft and Camshaft end play on a V-twin CV or CH Kohler Command? I'm assuming the cover needs to be replaced and removed each time I measure this but the Kohler Service manual does not say that and the cover it'self is quite hard to get on and off...

Hi All, Just wondering how I test the Hydraulic lifters in a Kohler engine that has already been dismantled. Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated :smile: All the best. Neo

Hi Gents, I recently picked up an LA120 on the cheap and I'm slowly restoring it. I notice there was a lot of tacky dirt on one side of the engine so when I cleaned it all up and ran the engine for a short time oil started to drip from one of the sump bolts. But this only happens while the...

Hi, Does anyone know if an engine cover (bonnet/hood) from a Toro WheelHorse 17/38 HXL can be made to fit the older 260-H series (268-H) mowers? The main issue I see is the length of the cover...is it long enough? The 260-H series has a shocking reputation for broken engine covers so I figured...

Hi All, Just voicing a personal opinion here..... I have 4 lawn mowers (two with Electric PTO's and two without) and after using them all quite extensively I much prefer the way the two JD's 100 series (with manual cutting belt engagement). This is because I don't like the way the electric PTO...

Hi all, My neighbour has an MTD Yard-machine which has a 13HP B&S I/C engine in it that has a buggered stator and flywheel. He's asked me to fix it for him but I need to get the parts on the cheap because he's a pensioner and I'm just doing the job as a favour for him. I keep seeing old...

Hi All, I managed to pick up a JD LA120 on the cheap because oil was poring out of the RH Tranny shaft....Turns out the shaft spacer had warn straight through the washer (between the wheel spacer and the case) allowing the wheel spacer push into the shaft seal, ripping it open. The mower was...

Hi All, I need to get the PTO and all 3 pully's off of my TORO WheelHorse which uses and Kohler Command engine with a 1" shaft. What's the best way to do this? What tools do I need? Many thanks. Neo

Hi all, I recently picked up a cheap "for parts" mower with an 18HP Motor...Kohler Command V-Twin (CV18s) After close inspection I noticed the right hand piston did not move when I rotated the engine and there was a knock/clacking sound at one point in the rotation. So I took the head off...

Hi All, I'm in Australia and am looking to buy a Nikki 6050 carburettor on a Komatsu Kenoah BC340DW Brush Cutter. Does anyone know who I can go to for this?... I don't mind buying online either. Many thanks. Neo7
