    Duraforce 10323

    I've trash picked a Lawn Boy 10323 Duraforce commercial. Its missing the rear wheels and needs cable replacement, but the worst part is that the connecting rod is broken. If anyone out there either has the parts or can point me in the direction of where to get a rebuild kit or a rod and piston...

    Clutch Carrier

    Broke yet another one of these starter cups. (#1 in diagram) The clutch looks just fine to me, but now I notice the starter rope rotor has damage most likely caused by this whole mess. (#8 in diagram) - I'll replace that. According to the diagrams I've got everything installed correctly and now...

    Clutch Carrier

    Stihl FS80 Trimmer. When the starter rope is pulled it spins freely. Upon inspection I noticed the pawl and carrier were damaged. The nut in the middle was separated from the rest of the cup. So i replaced the whole assembly and after 1 session of use the same thing happened. Clutch carrier...

    Wheelhorse

    Pi9cked this old horse up a few days ago. Kohler 8hp horizontal shaft engine has compression, tires hold air and it's not missing any parts, except of course the cutting deck. My plan is to first of all see if I can get it running later today. If all goes well, then I might repaint it later on...

    Poulan Pro String Trimmer

    This trimmer has been a real PITA. It starts on choke but once the trigger is pulled it bogs down and dies. I've already gone through and cleaned the carb and the primer bulb is new so is there something I missed?

    NFIG]24794[/ATTACH] The Craftsman trimmer had a flywheel with the exact same numbers and measurements so I got happy! But upon further review....the Inner Diameter where the crankshaft goes through is actually smaller. Totally a let down. The trimmer was in bad shape from being left outside in...

    2 Stroke Lesson

    Went dumpster diving today and found this Crapsman Trimmer. I know alot of times engines and parts are interchangeable across brand names so I'm hoping that the flywheel on this one will match the Ryobi we've been talking about. I'll take it apart later and tell you whats up. No plans on...

    Husqvarna RZ4219

    I'm doing a repair on this mower, brand new and already busting belts and the clutch cable is also broken. I'm trying to find out the exact part number for the clutch cable and what the correct length is supposed to be.

    Thanks for offering to help. The difference in the currency makes it really expensive....$1 US = $2.70 Local for me. Add customs and shipping to dealer markups and you're almost paying 5x as much as you'd pay stateside. I'm comfortable waiting around for another one to go bust before spending...

    2 Stroke Lesson

    It seems someone else worked on this trimmer before me and in the process they damaged the flywheel. Error on my part was assuming it was alright....anyhow the key slot on this flywheel was non-existent so whoever tried to fix it used a half moon key and forced the flywheel on. Which worked for...

    Working on a Ryobi 725R, had alot of issues and after addressing them all I'm stuck on the carburetor adjustment screws.

    Re: return customers due to running their mowers intot the ground. I know exactly what you mean. The customers are their own worst enemy if you know what I mean. Here's one I just dealt with.....and the other is a brand new craftsman trimmer with a bad clutch. Replaced the springs and its good...

    RYOBI 775r

    Motoman, the winding mechanism only allows me to turn anticlockwise, there seems to be some cogs on the spool that prevent you from turning it the other way. Nevertheless, i'll try installing the string in the opposite direction and bypass the wind and click system and see what happens. Here are...

    RYOBI 775r

    My trimmer starts and runs perfectly, but the actual trimmer head or spool or whatever you want to call it has an odd issue. The string lengthens on its own! I mean there is no need to bump feed. Load with string, screw on the bump tip and start up first few seconds it works fine, after that the...

    DIY Light

    Instead of buying the headlight assembly for this Regent I decide to just make one. I wanted to retain the stock light placement since even though its a custom touch it won't look too different to the way it was originally. Note well, be careful of the wattage rating on the bulb cause it eats...

    I need a muffler for my regent hydro 12 model 1692403. It's part number 1655848. Kinda pricey new, so I'm wondering if anyone has one and would be willing to sell or if you know of other mufflers that can be substituted. Really appreciate the help. GrassBandit
