My little Weed Eater tractor Is going on It's third engine. Factory engine was a 13 hp Tecumseh OHV. Had too many problems and was cheaper to have the shop put another used engine In. So they put In a 12 hp B&S flat head. Well this engine Is throwing heavy metal In It's oil and has always ran...

Ok first off this 12 HP flathead engine replaced my 13 HP Tecumseh, which Im currently looking for another. But anyway I don't know the history of this engine, the shop Installed It last year. It never ran quite right even when the guy drove It off the trailer and Into my driveway. Problem 1...

It's been cold here lately In the single digit's. Started It up today and It cranked slow but did start.Had the headlights on while cranking. While cranking It pulled the gauge down to 8. After idling for a few minutes I revved It and the gauge went to 16 Volts. Is this normal? I replaced the...

I received my Volt Gauge Amazon.com : New Universal 2" 52mm Tint Lens LED Volt Voltage Gauge Meter Car Boat Truck Auto : Car Electronics I had the exact same one on previously, but the shop I let fix It removed It and didn't reinstall It. So I got another one. Anyway tied It Into the Ignition...

I have been having problems with starting. 1. Battery goes dead when using headlight's (yes the engine Is running, but light's get dim and wont restart when u shut It off, needs jump). 2. Battery goes dead If cranking more than 10 seconds. If I take the spark plug boot off and engage the...

My Weed Eater has a problem with the steering, when I try to turn right when not moving all I get Is clicking but the wheels wont turn until I start moving. Model number 281707 had a 13 HP Tecumseh but shop swapped In a 12 HP B&S Flathead.

I've been having problems with my 12 HP B&S Flat Head 281707 when at full throttle It makes a boom sound like someone Is hitting a bass drum. Sometime It goes boom boom boom I don't know If that's misfiring or what but doesn't sound good does that mean It's running too lean or too rich. It runs...

The furthest I have went was up the street and turned around cause I was low on gas and didn't feel like pushing. But I have seen guys riding there's up to the gas station In the street. If I try to do that I will run out of gas cause I only have a 1.25 gallon tank, and the gas station Is about...

I currently have a 1.25 gallon fuel tank. Would there be a problem If I put a bigger tank on, I heard the tank has to be higher than the carb.

I took my mower deck off In the winter to have a little fun, which didn't go to well cause I slid down my slanted Ice glazed driveway and flew Into a snow bank. :laughing: Anyway when I went to put the deck back on, but when I raise the deck to the highest position 6, the brake/clutch stays In...

I adjusted the carb today and got It to Idle perfect and Idle on It's own, but when u full throttle It It sounds like It misses but It still runs great. I drove It around the block and It didn't stall once sounded great, I even engaged the blades and no power loss or hesitation. Also noticed...

I took my carburetor completely off and disconnected both linkages and a breather hose to give It a good clean also removed the float bowl to clean. Got done put everything back together and the choke linkage that attaches to the side of the engine block came off I put It back on but not sure I...

Ok took some pics of the Carburetor there's also some oil on the air filter (and yes the air filter Is removed for testing purposes) and how do u remove the float bowl to clean It out???

What the title says It's running rough and backfires sometime, and will act like It's going to stall but revs It's self back up. Also when I tried to start It this morning It started then ran rough for a few second's and stalled would not start unless I put the choke on, and would stall If I...

As u all know I had a problem with my 13 HP Tecumseh Engine where the starter holes on the block were completely stripped out, I tried heli-coils multiple times worked temporary. So I got fed up and called them to pick It up and fix It. So 3 weeks later they call saying there going to drop It...

You can see where I used the heli-coils and red loktite, the bottom bolts are fine were used with original starter until that one gave out.

My starter bolt holes are stripped completely I tried using helicoils worked for a couple starts than came loose. I dont know what else to do.

As u all know I have been having trouble starting my engine changing starters and adjusting valves many times without change I seen someone else was having the same problem same engine and they said to tighten the exhaust valve a little more and It would start better. I did that and now the...

I want to wire my lights to run with the engine off. WeedEater 259723

I bought this can I put the threader on to my drill and use It like that?

Thats what the thread look like

The bolts go In but wont tighten could I jut put a bigger bolt on?

I finally got everything running good but the only problem is the engine vibrates when idling If I speed It up a little It goes away.

It started then was vibrating I sped It up then It acted like It was going to stall so I slowed It down then It just shut off and wont start back.

My engine flywheel has been clicking so I took the flywheel off and noticed a magnet was broken in half and off the flywheel. Will that missing magnet damage the alternator. It's off the alternator not ignition. It always charged the battery and still is charging.

While Im starting It will start cranking over then kick back really hard then continue cranking and sometime fires up. I have adjusted the valves twice. Once It gets to running it runs great. It kick back so hard It broke the starter gear. Another on way. And the flywheel clicks when turning. 13...

Why does it click when i turn it by hand it clicks and it has a hard time starting i have adjusted the valves many times disconnected the belts still doing it its coming from the engine not the pulleys changed starter because old one blew out. Nothing is rubbing against nothing...

When I turn It It clicks constantly and It has a very hard time starting I have checked all pulleys and disconnected the belts but It still does It. I have adjusted the valves multiple times a It's still doing It. It's coming from the engine. It runs fine no noises. Spark Plus is currently out...

While it's in starting position it it will stop make metal on metal sound then continue starting and fire right up. I've replaced starter same thing. When u turn flywheel by hand it clicks. Runs fine just start's weird. 13 HP Tecumseh
