The fact that the D adapters are clutch specific and the fact that no D adapter was shown on the IPL lead me not to use it initially. I have triple checked the IPL and it shows a thick washer and 2 coved spring washers to hold it on to the crankshaft. I am thinking that someone replaced the...

Auto Doc. The new OEM part I ordered from a Exmark dealer did not come with a D adapter. Aren’t they normally included with a new clutch? The wires that ran to the clutch had been cut and there were crimped connectors on the wires ahead of the terminal block that plugs into the clutch…that’s...

Thanks to everyone for their helpful input. I installed the D adapter and it seems to have stopped the chatter when idling. In reviewing the IPL it does not show a D adapter but a couple of coved washers that it does show, were not on the old clutch. I think someone replaced the original...

I wish I had researched replacing the clutch more thoroughly. I was under the impression that I had to hold the crankshaft by the flywheel bolt and on this 27 HP Kohler the only way to do that is to remove the engine shroud so the flywheel fan can be removed, since it does not have a hole in...

I can do that. I was looking at a video from a PTO/Clutch manufacturer Xtreme Power in their installation video on their website it said that the end of the D adapter should not make contact with the end of the crankshaft. Is that your experience?

Here is a photo of the IPL

When I look at the Exmark IPL it shows several additional washers that I didn’t remove. This makes me wonder if this is a replacement clutch that I removed am wondering if there were OEM washers that were and need to be replaced. Any and all insights welcome. Spit

I am replacing a defective PTO/ Blade Clutch on an older Exmark 60 inch zero turn. It is a model LZS27KC604 serial number 949453. I purchased a part number 116-1620 from an Exmark dealer. The blade clutch that I removed has a tag on it with the following info Warner 5218-99 OCT 25 02 21. I...

I tried to type the word SIDE but went right on the S and then went left on the I and the word DUDE appeared!! I always attempt to edit before hitting send but obviously failed. Thanks for your help. I installed the pulleys with the double d hub facing up. Spit

I attempted to type the word SIDE and my fat finger hit right of the S and left of I and the word DUDE appeared. I try to edit before sending but missed it. Thanks for your help I am installing the Double D side up away from the spindle. Spit

I opened a new thread to as an upside downside of the 121-9100 pulley. I hope someone who knows will reply

I have a model 20200 Timemaster 31200 serial series. I removed the spindles and the black plastic cogged pulleys to clean the spindle shafts and bearings. I am asking if anyone knows if these pulleys are installed with the metal double d shaped center up or down. One dude of the pulley has...

I am asking if the 121-9100 pulley goes onto the shaft double d center side or round center side first

I am asking about the big black plastic pulleys, the ones that the cogged belt mesh with. There is a side that has a round metal center and a side that has a double d center… you can see the difference in the photos of the pulleys that were attached to the original post. My question is...

Question on the 121-9100 spindle pulley which is pictured in this post. Which side of the pulley is the upside and which is the down. One side gas a completely round center. The other side has a double D type center. Does the double D face down or face up? Not sure if it’s a critical detail...

Thanks for the info. I did get the inner race on the existing bearing freed up somewhat. What seems funny is that the shaft seems to turn freely inside of the inner race. The bearing is not a press fit or even a loose press fit onto the shaft. But the shaft seems to turn freely inside of...

I am working on a 2018 Time master. model 21199 4043xxx serial range. I found a problem with wear on the spacer and the brake arm causing multiple belt failures and I am replacing those parts. However I also observed that the top bearing in the primary spindle doesn't seem to turn easily...

Tiger When you reference rebuilding the engine. What are you thinking might need to be done to it? I am thinking that the rings, piston and cylinder is not the issue. It runs so well until the oil starts to find its way from the breather hose to air filter box/intake. I have been...

No gas smell. Could I have done something wrong on the valve adjustment? That would cause the oil to get into the breather? Does anyone know if a Breather on GCV190 can get plugged up and if there is anyway to check and clean it? How would I best verify if it’s oil leaking past a valve...

Thanks to everyone who replied to my pleas for info. I went ahead and drained the oil from the engine again and did another oil change this time making sure that I only added 18oz of 10w30. The oil that I had just installed less than 30 minutes of operating time was quite dark not a honey color...

I am going to remove several ounces of oil and see what happens. After I posted I, I checked the specs and saw that 18.6 number…if I added 20 and did not get all the old oil out maybe it’s 4-5?oz. overfilled. I will let you know what I find

Background: I was given a Homelite pressure washer with the above mentioned Honda GCV190 engine. GCV190LQ N5AP T98B. GJAA 2348797 The guy who gave it to me, said the engine ran great but that he had broken off the thermal relief valve that screws into the brass manifold. I got the broken...

So I removed and disassembled the Walbro barrel type carburetor. The pump diaphragm and gasket looked perfect, on the fuel metering diaphragm the metal disc with the nub on it that presses on the needle lever was bent… not sure how that happened… I had just installed it but it was definitely...

Thanks for the info. I will remove both diaphragms and run the carb through an ultrasonic cleaner. I will install new fuel pump and fuel metering diaphragms and see what happens. This should eliminate the carburetor from the suspects list. If it continues to have issues I will have to look at...

Lots of good ideas! I will look at them tomorrow, it just doesn't seem like its the throttle cable..seems like it is pulling the throttle open. I should be able to manipulate the throttle by hand, When it is running right it will just flat out scream at full throttle seems like a bad fuel...

I am scratching my head on this one! I was given a FG110 Mini Tiller it needed a carb cleaning and new diaphrams replaced and it ran great. Starts right up on first or second pull I sold it to a neighbor who told me it would not run for him. Brought it back to me and it ran fine' I even...

Well I pulled the engine and the frame that it sits on is cracked at one of the three bolt holes. Another bolt hole has a chunk of metal broken off like a bite taken out of it so its not a anything the engine could mount to. The third bolt hole has been gouged to about 1/2 of its normal...

I am helping a neighbor with a 30 inch Ex mark ECX80GKA3000. The engine bolts have loosened up and do not seem to stay tightened. I have been researching the issue and it see.s like it is fairly common. The wear to the base of the Kawasakj FJ180V is so severe that I will have to pull the...

I am working on this mower. The automatic choke is not working when the engine is warm. It cold starts just fine, but running it for 3 minutes and it will not start. Prop the choke open with a screwdriver and it starts just fine. I have tried another thermowax and switched a used choke...

Just to follow up on this. I replaced the transmission with a new one a couple of months ago and it pulls evenly now. I was not able to identify any internal parts as being available. The design of the transmission has 2 geared output shafts that mesh on a center gear in the gear box. This...

So I guess I did not pay attention to the fact that this BBC is an early one piece design and the bolt I am trying to back all the way out is not removable. And the flange that the blade attaches to, cannot be separately replaced like it can on a two piece unit. Turns out that John Deere's...

I have determined that this is a Wagner 1piece blade clutch. The one with the 3 small springs on top of it. And it is a 21 inch mower not a 22. Hope this helps Spit

I was gifted a 14SB. Silver cast aluminum deck and a 5 up Kawasaki engine and a blade clutch. I was told it needed a $150 repair and they just stuck it in their shed and did not run it for several years. I checked it for spark and it has spark, good clean oil and a newer spark plug. I sprayed...

Thanks for the great information. The drive speed is controlled by the friction ring and the lever for the traction speed controls where it is allowed to make contact on the pulley. I have always found that the only reason to move the throttle to a lower speed is to quiet the engine and lower...

It has 2 engagement levers one on each handle bar. The left one engages the auger and the right one engages the transmission. So that when you start it there is no real load on the engine. Generally speaking I would always set the throttle to the fastest setting to start it using the primer...

So. I have another issue with the blower. The throttle lever does not not affect the engine speed. It runs at full throttle regardless where the lever is set...low or high setting it runs at full throttle. To be clear it is not running out of control dangerously fast, just at full speed. I...

I have it running again. I checked it with a new leak down tester and it was great under 10 %. I removed the rocker arms to assure the valves were completely closed. I reset them to .005 intake and .007 for the exhaust. I also ran the carb through an Ultrasonic cleaner. And I went ahead and...

I am trying to help a neighbor with his Yardman model 31AS62EE708. It has a MTD engine 265-SU serial 1005284B0327. It's 15 yrs old. I assumed it was a typical old gas dirty carb situation. Owner said it would start and die after a few pops. Now after cleaning the carb, it will start after 6-8...

Thanks for the reply. I am looking forward to mastering the Leakdown tester. One question I have… how do you recommend positioning the piston to TDC on a L head engine…and then anchoring it onto TDC. I saw a video that advised using vise grips on the engine output pulley. There was definitely...

So I pulled the head and found a lot of carbon around the exhaust valve. I cleaned up the valve heads and the beveled surfaces of the valve and the valve seats. I suppose I could have tried to remove the springs and lap the valves but I didn’t want to mess with pulling the breather as it always...

I have a Harbor Freight Leakdown Tester. But being honest I have never mastered it. I can pull the head off and I could take the breather off to view the valves and springs. From there I can get a look at both ends of the valves and see how sloppy the guides are. Let me know if you have any...

I looked at an IPL last night and a light bulb came on that this L Head does not have a separate valve ate of the head gasket. The valves on this style of engine are exposed to head pressure and not secured by a section of the head gasket..correct? So a blown head gasket would not cause oil...

I like your take on ‘A good learning experience’. With this being a L head and looking at the shape of the head gasket it does not seem that a blown head gasket would cause oil blowback like a OHV engine which has a separately secured valve section of the head gasket. This is just one large...

Not sure of your carb but the SRM225 trimmer carb has an adjustment screw hidden by a small plastic cap. Cap needs to be removed to get to the brass screw. Once the cap is out you can open or close to get better performance. I gave found In some cases just moving it a turn in or out and...

Have you replaced the fuel pickup/fuel filter? I have had 2 cycle trimmers that would not run right until I replaced the fuel filter

I am helping a neighbor with a 12.5 hp Briggs vertical engine 289707 1179E-3 020503ZD. It is a single cylinder L Head design. It does not have a Nikki carb. The engine had no oil to speak of when I first checked it. The oil sump was full of gas. I drained it out and refilled it with oil. I...

So I got into the Timemaster today. I found that the underside of the mower was quite caked with hardened grass clippings. I scraped and power washed it including the transmission and transmission output shaft. When I got done cleaning it I ran it and the screech was virtually eliminated. It...

Good point Nobody replaces just the one shoe that the heel fell off of…you get a new pair

Do you suspect both bearings would be bad? I see there is a 3rd bearing in the center that supports the shaft is that potentially an issue?

I stopped at his house and shared the sad news with him. He took it well and said he has a line on another used JD for $400-$500. I told him that he’s 2 for 2 on killing tractors from lack of routine maintenance… not rocket science. I strongly suggested he do better on his new-used tractor
