Able to keep running with little constant throttle. Stayed running when throttled up, but stalls on idle.

I recently acquired a Echo PB-755T that had been in storage for about 1.5 years. Was drained of fuel and left clean before stored. I added new plug, air filter like new, and carb seemed clean, so added clean mix of gas to see if it would fire up. Primed fine (no primer bulb dry rot). Started...

The verdict....success. Lifted up my 60 inch Exmark just fine to max height. Help firm and stable. Lots of room to get to underneath. I actually dropped down to second height as top height seemed to put a lot of angle on engine. For 80.00ish bucks, great buy IMHO.

Found some discussion on the barber freight mower lift (300 lbs capacity) but no comments on its success or not. Have the lift for 80.00 on sale. I have 60 pioneer s-series Exmark. Looking for input....Would this work for safely lifting front end to work under the deck? Anyone used it? Thanks as...

I have skimmed over some of the thread about adding lighting to your ZTM. Like the look and functionality of the idea. Thinking of installing LED lighting on my Exmark pioneer. Anyone done this to an Exmark? Difficulty level? Would like to see some pics of the wiring or a schematic of the...

Looking at a used eXmark Quest mower. 50inch cut. 23hp Kawasaki. Has 134 hours on it. Asking 2500. Worth that? Is that high? Low?

I am needing some advice from the Lawn World Cub Cadet group. A friend of mine "inherited" a 2011 model LTX 1042 Cub Lawn Tractor. Has 126 hours on it. Has a 20hp Kohler. Seems to be in good shape. Had not been started since las year. After a little cracking passed the old gas, started right up...

Draining the gas and dropping a little oil in spark plug to store away my Echo and honda trimmers for the season. Starting to put away a couple older honda push mowers. Just wanted to ask how others prepare mowers for off season storage. How about bigger zero turn mowers? Always looking for...

Have a push mower I got used. Has dead mans handle removed (kill switch was disabled). Once I replaced carb, the engine runs smooth at all throttle levels. So much so that the way the previous owner stopped the engine by dropping throttle do low does not work. It just idles slow. I am handy...

HEy all. Picked up a project today at a thrift store. Scored a Lawnboy L21zpnc serial no. K128c0116. For 9.50. Yes I said 9.50. Won't start but has compression, filter is clean, choke and throttle work fine, and no leaks. Seems the kill handle cable I'd stuck. Never worked on a Lawnboy. Don't...

Had a guy give me a Craftsman 5hp 22' push weed trimmer, model 536.773500. Said he had not used in two years and was not sure it would start. No gas in tank (which was clean). Got home. Pressure washed clean. Had oil. Pulled and cleaned air filter and added some carb cleaners to the carb without...

Bought an older 2006 MTD yard machine with honda 5.5 hp engine. Starts up fine on second or third pull. Surges. So I know to check/clean carb, air filter, and fuel to start with. Pulled carb and found no gaskets at all. Not one at any part. Put it back on as is until I order gaskets. Now still...

I Hang mine verticle from double hook on the wall with engine up. Friend of mine swares i need to set on floor/shelf horizontal. Just wanted to see how some of you store and if you think there are benifits either way?

This summer I got a honda 4 cycle trimmer to go along with my new ztr exmark, honda push, and echo blower as my lawn equipment upgrade. Or as my wife like to say, my midlife crisis. Love the trimmer, works great, etc. Knowing I dont need it, an offer for a used but excellent running condition...

I recently changed the carb in the HRT216TDA self propelled project mower I got on crags list that was surging. Once started it purrs wonderfully... My question is this (I will try to give you as much detail as I can).... First got mower, moved to full throttle choke, started on about 4th or...

A friend of mine has an Echo BP500 blower for sale for 200.00. He bought new as a back up and has used it twice. Looks brand new and starts right up. I have been upgrading my lawn equipment with some good deals and this seems like a good offer for backpack blower. As i jave never owned a blower...

Based on what you all have shared, for me the Echo 225 and Husq 223L were my two choices. A deal has come up to get a 4 cycle Honda HHT25S with Speed Feed for 200.00. Of the three, what would you (my knowledgable lawn site friends) go with as the best value?

I have been tuning and cleaning up a Honda HRT216TDA self propelled mower I found a yard sale. It has been neglected, but recovering nicely. Engine (with air filter, oil and carb change) and top side is in really good shape. Have figured out the propel issue and fixed and I have sharpened the...

I found a HRT216TDA self propelled true honda mower for 50.00. Good shape overall, as engine runs on first/second pull and engages transmission so I feel it is worth the money, but needs tuning and work on the self propel (belt or cable adjustment to engage transmission) as it seems to pull...

This lawn was a field 5 years ago. I have seeded repeatedly and I keep it cut at 3.25 inches during summers when dry and hot. Fourth mow with my new Exmark Pioneer S 60 inch zero turn. Working on my striping.

Want to sell my old cub cadet ztr 50 inch. 22 up Briggs. 290 hours. 8 years old. Pto/clutch repair needed as blade do not engage. Everything else in good/fair used condition. What would be a fair asking price knowing why a new mower cost in your apps opinion?

When I bought my Pioneer, I wanted a full suspension seat offer and the 27hp engine. The 27 hp model is from 2013 models which meant the full suspension seat upgrade offer did not apply. I took engine performance over seat at the time. My dealer knew I wanted a suspension seat, but I did not...

Maybe a basic question, but do you, in the commercial or very experienced mowing group, when getting a new mower with new blade or getting new blades to replace old ones sharpen them the "new blades" or assume they are sharp because they are new and wait until after some mowing to take off and...
