I would check and change the spark plugs first. Coils could be getting weak and not giving enough spark once under load but unlikely both at the same time. I would think one cylinder would keep the engine running. Pulse coils and stator would be another thing to look into. Could also be a seat...

New is the only way to go. There are cheap ones on Ebay or you can go with Flip mfg which is really close to OEM quality. I bought a new OEM (JD) hood for my 345 earlier this year. https://flipmfg.com/products/702456

Are these OEM or aftermarket parts? I do agree aftermarket parts are money well wasted. I only buy OEM parts and I don't trust Ebay and especially not Amazon (scamazon) since they sell a lot of low quality Chinese parts listed as OEM. Ebay is only good for buying used parts. Amazon is good for...

Why would hitting a certain age stop someone from mowing their yard? Being inactive is the absolute worst thing you can do to your body. Staying active and being outdoors is the best thing for a persons health of any age.

I would look at the X580 or the X590 if you want to spend more. The X570 uses the same light duty steering, front axle, spindles and front wheels as the X300 series. The sector gear steering is a terrible set up for a tractor of that price and caliber and for that reason alone I would pass on...

You need a garden tractor. If buying new that would be the X500 series or the X700 series. There are also lots of used older machines that are still great. 240, 245, 260, 265, 285, 320, 325, 335, 345, GX series and GT series are all comparable to the X500 series which will include X500, X520...

If you are buying new parts off Amazon you are buying aftermarket parts. They claim a lot of parts to be OEM but they are not. Many of these Chinese manufactures are very good at making cheap quality knock off parts that look exactly like OEM. Don't be fooled into thinking you are getting a good...

It could be a dirty carburetor.

Using starting fluid on a 2 stroke will cause damage to the engine as if washes off all the lubrication so the engine is temporarily running with no oil. Starting fluid is hard on 4 stokes and destroys 2 strokes.

These mowers are more than worth fixing up. Way better than any new mower.

NEVER use starting fluid on a 2 stroke! Crank seals are probably bad causing a lean condition. This can destroy a 2 stroke engine especially with starting fluid which washes the lube off the cylinder and the cranks and rod bearings. The carbs flood because the needle and seat need replaced...

What happens is the needle leaks fuel into the engine and it blows out the exhaust on start up. A fuel shut off valve takes care of the issue.

Carb just needs a new seat and needle. I also recommend putting a fuel shut off valve on the fuel line. I also highly recommend getting the Briggs pilot jet if the engine is surging or hard to start... part #801308

I got a grass blade for one of my Stihl FS94R's and the install kit has a barrier bar that mounts on the loop handle and a different shield for the head. Is it really necessary to install the new shield and barrier bar? I just don't see it actually doing much over just leaving the original shield.

I bought a like new Stihl MM55 yardboss tiller. I was wanting to get the power sweeper and the dethatcher for it possibly. Does anyone else here have one of these? The attachments seem really expensive new.

My brother got a 2003 Lawn Boy 10324 which is a silver pro duraforce. The problem is on the throttle lever slow is fast and fast is slow. What causes this and how do we fix it?

pic of the S21ZPR next to the 6301. This pic was with the old wheels. Going to paint the deck soon.

I bought a Lawn Boy S21ZPR a few weeks ago. I was wondering how I can find out the year it was made? I plan on repainting the deck as a lot of the paint is peeling off but other than that its in excellent condition. The wheels were so wore out I could rock it side to side a LOT and it was...

Where can I get Stihl parts besides the Stihl dealer? I am also curious if there is a parts schematic for Stihl equipment? I have done searches and found nothing.

I stripped it down and repainted the deck since the new paint job it had wasn't very good and I got all the over spray cleaned off everything. It looks a thousand times better. :thumbsup: You can also see my S21ZPR in the background in 2 of the pics, it will be getting the deck repainted also.

What is the difference in all the different Lawn Boy F engines? I seen there was the F100 F200 and F300 series, one of mine has a F201 for example. I know there are differences in the self propelled and push model engines like the case/cylinder assembly and crank are different.

Does anyone know where I can get a service manual for my Lawn Boy 6301 (F engine)? I did a search and couldn't find anything.

My 1996 Honda Harmony HRM215 has the poly mulcher deck with the rear flap for a bagger. I have seen kits where you can put a side discharge chute on the back where the bagger goes. This is one I am looking at... https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Honda-Discharge-06814-VE2-030-Mowers/dp/B00BS40LYW Is...

I bought a piston which was listed as a genuine OEM Lawn Boy F engine piston. The seller claimed the first 2 sold were genuine Lawn Boy and the rest were OEM spec aftermarket. I bought the 2nd one sold so I should have a OEM piston but I don't know how to tell for sure. Pics of an original...

I bought this Lawn Boy 6301 today. It runs good but the deck needs repainted and some overspray cleaned up. It has a mulcher plate and a bagger. Is there a plate I can buy for side discharge also? I will post some picks of it the seller had posted. He said he bought it from the original owner...

I have a Stihl FS94R string trimmer and was wondering if I can change out the cable shaft with a steel shaft from a FS90R? I have seen where other people have talked about it but haven't seen if anyone has actually done it and confirmed it works. Seems if the shafts are the same length they...

I have always had a interest in the Lawn Boy 2 stroke mowers but have never thought about actually buying one until now. Only problem is I don't know anything about them. I don't know what models were best or what were the high end professional grade vs the cheap low end residential grade. I...

Last year I replaced the carb, spark plug and air filter because it was lacking power. It was so low on power it would stall the motor when I engaged the blades. The new carb fixed the issues and it runs a lot better. With that said I am still thinking it is lacking power though because it...

I have an older model not sure of the year but its the 18cc engine and its been sitting for a while with 10% ethanol fuel in it. I can get it to fire up for a few seconds but it wont stay running for more than 30 seconds or so and if you try to give it gas it dies instantly. I am not sure what a...

I am looking at getting a new string trimmer and want something that is quality built and will last. I have looked into the HHT25SLTA. The biggest concern I have is that its a 4 stroke and the valves will need adjusted? I also don't like the trimmer head so would I be able to replace the head...

I have been having problems with my Honda stalling. Its a 96 model my parents bought new and I got it in 08 when I bought my house. I always had to engage the blades very slowly or it would stall but once engaged it ran fine but didn't handle tall or thick grass very well at all. Last year it...

I have a Honda Harmony 215. It is a HRM, self propelled, hydrostatic, blade brake clutch and poly deck. The rear wheels have fallen apart on me and most of the rubber has peeled off so I am needing to get new ones. Where is a good place to order? I checked one place and the part number my mower...
