Has anyone had any experience with these mowers? The self drive works by allowing the gearbox to rotate upwards thus allowing the drive belt to tenstion and produce drive. I'm looking for a drawing to help me re build the machine

Has anyone come up with a fix to be able to adjust the slow running screw on these mower motors? It is nigh impossible to get to the screw adjuster as it is hidden away under the engine cover etc. Is there a trick or tool that will make the adjustment easy or is it a case of skinned knuckles and...

OK will do

I thought it was but checking the dip stick it was at the full mark

The owner has added new oil so smells OK. What I do notice is there is oilcoming up through the snall hole at the bottom of the breather chamber when I turn the motor over by hand.

I need to check tomorrow Rivets

Hi Rivets, I am based in the UK. I have asked to investigate why this motor is throwing out oil from the crankcase breather when it is running.

Thanks Rivets, the numbers I have given are they the right ones to use to ID the motor?

Other numbers are S9306C and E-61002A

I have been asked to look at a lawn mower fitted with Tecumseh motor. I can see the label on the side of the model that states CTR156 does this make any sense to anyone. The problem is there is oil coming out of the crank case breather.

Hi ILENGINE, should I disconnect the kill wire if I test for spark whilst running?

Forgot to add also checked the timing ensuring the flywheel key was not damaged/broken .

Hi Guys, I have a Honda RM55 powered mower that starts easily even on tick over but when I go to throttle it up it pops, bangs and stalls. After a minute or two it will suddenly start to run perfectly and I can then throttle up and down with no probles? I have fitted a brand new carb, (yes I...

Hi "C", yes should have stated the head was removed. Now I have the correct valve lifter the job is relatively straightforward. Cheers, TC

Does anyone have head and tinwork schematic of the K141. It looks like I have to torque down one bolt that lies underneath the tinwork and there are spacers that appear to go underneath it all. Any help as always appreciated. TC

Yes there is, ikt's called a proper tool for the job. Used this and all was done in 5 minutes!

Been trying tonight but still no success. I've tried tweezers, small screwdrivers, magnets, grease but still the little devils are laughing at me. I've walked away now for the night. I've ordered a small engine valve lifter on e-bay today that will be here in a few days so hopefully that may...

Not sure what the bonding was, smelt a bit strange. It cleaned off pretty good though and I used an impact adhesive to fix it back on.

To re fit the keepers on a Kohler K141 motor. I've just spent 3 hours of my life treying to get the damn things back in even using a valve lifter. Please someone tell me there must be a way! TC, (down, but not beaten,,,,yet)!

Managed to chuck the cone, just, took a flyer on the job which went well. clutch now all back together and working well. I removed 2.5mm from the edge, removed and re-sized the liner and re-fitted it and re-assembled the whole thing. All working great now. A word of caution, chucking the cone on...

OK, so info for anyone that may need it. I've managed to speak to a supplier here in the UK that has advised me that the inner cone is in fact at the end of it's life. I need a new inner cone or, I can rig up the cone in a lathe and machine of 4-5mm off the back edge to give the clearance need...
