    Rear wheels bending inwards

    Craftsman 917.376742 The wheels bend inwards at the top (oversized rear wheels). Is this normally caused by the arm brackets? I tried to push the bottom of the wheel to straighten it out, but it goes back. Is the arm bracket just weak? I'm debating if the new arm brackets will fix the issue.

    Honda mower won't roll backwards

    I brought it in under warranty and the guy said it is considered a maintenance issue. He said dirt gets into the bushing and seizes it to the shaft. He has to remove the bushings and sand down the axle. I remember seeing a TSB on this. I called Honda customer service and opened a claim. I think...

    Is this valve bent?

    This is for a Toro pace lawn mower. I wasn't getting any compression. The intake valve was stuck open. I freed it up and worked it back and forth. I noticed it looks like it is at an angle to the block. The odd thing is that if I rotate the valve, the higher side is always to the left. It is...

    Is 13 volts too low for charging system?

    My battery isn't charging. I charged it with a battery charger and the mower started up and mowed the yard twice. I had to get off the seat to move some debris. When I tried to start it a second time, the battery was dead. I'm getting around 12v with the mower off and 13v with it running. The...

    Small engine carb flooding

    This isn't a lawn mower, but I was hoping someone would have some general knowledge regarding small engine carbs. When I start the engine, the engine runs at high rpms and gas dumps out of the overflow. I'm thinking the float needle isn't seating properly. I tried to clean the assembly by...
