I can just find people doing this over and over again. That's the same problem I have but my bracket is not like that.

From the manual: Release idler sheave nut to tighten belt. So what is an idler sheave nut?

This spring part is definitely the problem. with the blades off it is so loose that it would slam on the deck over and over again if you were driving the mower. The belt up front can just fall off the pulley. Then when you engage the blades again the belt is off... so nothing works. I...

Yes, filing a warranty claim is the option if there isn't a simple fix - like adjusting tension somehow - that I can do.

I do trust that the factory installed everything correctly but I'm not really certain what to even look for... the only loose thing is the belt when the blades are turned off.

The belt is two months old. Three cuts old. 2.6 hours of use. Same with all the pulley parts.

So I bought a JD S110 recently. I have used it three times for a total of 2.6 hours. Around 1.5 hours the belt came off the front pulley which causes the mower to be unable to engage the blades. Now it happens nearly every time the blades are disengaged. I just mowed my lawn and had to stop...

Cool thank you. I think this is towards the front of the mower kind of directly over the deck. I’ll lift it up this week and take a look. That should not be hard to replace. Knowing the part is the hardest and you took care of that for me. Thank you.

We did it! The grass is cut and the mower did not catch fire. It did throw a spring though. I think this has something to do with the drive vs reverse because it would get very upset when I’d try to change.

We are back to the mower running but a little bit of white exhaust smoke. That may be normal. I don’t normally remove the cover and stare at the engine.

I think we broke it. No longer starts. The engine kind of knocks now and then stops trying. Nevermind. Spark plug came unplugged.

That part - lower front - under the heat shield smokes. I’m not sure what exactly it does. I’m also not sure if the smoke is just spilled oil burning off the outside or if it is interior related. I am worried that I may have over tightened the rocker arm or something.

I think the oil is low. The owners manual is extremely little help there as it says it could be 20 ounces, it could be 40 ounces. I think it’s 40. The dip stick wants me to read it when it’s hot which is kind of hard to do when it smokes.

Mower now starts! However it shoots white smoke out of the area underneath the heat shield on the front. Takes less than a minute for the smoke. I think maybe it’s low on oil this time and not over?

looked up where to spray starter fluid. I could try that tomorrow. But don’t see how it would solve not having a spark from the spark plug. Don’t understand.

I actually don’t know anything about starter fluid. The carb was amazingly clean on the inside. Super crazy clean to the max. The starter spins the center of the engine round and round very nicely. There is no spark from the spark plug. Tried three of them and broke a fourth by dropping it...

Also did the small unplug of the coil. No spark that way either.

Yeah. Hire is $150. Rent is $34.

Yes. We did basically this yesterday. No spark with the inline tester. I removed the coil, cleaned it, reinstalled it. No spark. New plug. No spark. New coil arrives tomorrow.

Thank you all. Unfortunately I don’t really understand this new advice. The ignition coil will be here Sunday. If that doesn’t fix it, I’ll probably just list the mower for $50 and be done with it. I’m going to need to rent a mower to cut the grass.

Oh I've also changed the oil three times this week... that's more than the past six years.

That battery is auto zone's problem now.

Thank you. I think the problem here is the ignition coil. One of the rocker arms I could fit 0.009 in. I tightened it to where 0.005 fits and if I try really hard I can wedge 0.006 in there too. The other rocker arm only 0.005 fit. So it seemed okay. I'm on my second new battery now...

Got another new battery and a new spark plug. Mower no start. I think the coil is bad. I ordered one and it will be here on Sunday.

I ordered the coil. Thank you for the part number. That was a big help. I'm going to take the battery back to autozone. It may be DOA now. Four days... about 16 hours total. Mower no start.

Thanks. I think we are dead as the battery though. Lowes doesn't have it in stock and home depot doesn't appear to carry it. At 6pm on Friday, no small store is going to be open and both the small engine places here went out of business back in 2020/2021.

One side of the underneath of the coil was extremely dirty. I don't think it matters though. The battery is now dead.

I think that removing the kill switch thing wrecked the battery. We don't even get an attempt anymore.

Here is what we are working with. I'm not sure if the big box stores sell a coil pack for my mower.

No spark. In fact with that kill wire unplugged I barely get an effort out of the flywheel.

We are getting zero light on that in line tester. I guess that means the spark plug does not fire. I feel like replacing the spark plug isn’t the anwser. So what do we do?

Okay have the battery all charged up, new spark plug, new gasoline and an inline tester. Will report again soon.

I did the carb cleaner already. The air horn is free and clear. I’ll look for a spark tester. I’m headed to autozone here soon.

I'm going to go buy some new gas, another new spark plug and get the battery charged back up. But at this point I'm grasping at straws. If anyone knows how to start a mower, now would be a good time :)

The rocker adjustment was a lot of fun and I did learn some stuff. But it did NOT fix the problem. All I can think of now is maybe drain the oil and start over?

I believe both of these should be set to 0.005. The top rocker I can fit 0.009 into. The bottom one is good at 0.005. Could that difference on the top one legit be the problem?

I fixed the fuel leak and cleaned the spark plug. The mower still does not start. I tried cranking it with the rocker cover off and noticed oil coming out of the front. I don't think that's supposed to happen? I still think the problem may be too much oil remaining in the mower even though...

The mower is now leaking gas out the side of the carb. Doh.

I didn’t get back to it today but a puddle of oil leaked out the front of the mower over night. I think the whole problem may have been it being overfilled with oil… or perhaps a blown gasket. I just need to get it to work one last time.

Let's keep the time machine thing between us. I just used it to get a new sales receipt. Adjusted to 2013.

Thank you for the vote of confidence. I removed the cover. The most noticeable difference between my mower and all the videos is my stuff is covered in oil. I figure that's fine? I ordered the feeler gauge. And I'll work on getting the engine in the correct position tomorrow. The top valve...

Pretty good video. This could very well be the problem, but that is over my level.

This is probably very good advice, but it is also above my skill level. I wouldn't know what I was looking at.

So it all started when I decided that I should change the oil since I had not done that in about four years. I changed the oil and replaced the battery. Used the mower twice after that and both times it started fine, ran fine for about 10-15 minutes, cut off, refused to restart, rested for 20...
