    B&S 190cc hit a rebar, now knocks a couple times on start-up, shaft isn't bent, what's your guess?

    When you removed the blade adapter, was it completely intact? Your problem sounds like a problem I had when I hit a metal bar and broke a chunk out the adapter.

    LawnMachines 300e Mower won't start-- Choke?

    I have read the comments and saw that you did get it to start by spraying gas into the carb. With that, I think you have pretty much eliminated the spark and compression issues and what you are left with is a fuel issue. So you need to determine is fuel flowing from the tank, flowing through the...

    Craftsman Lawn Mower Information

    Just my personal opinion, but I don't think you should put much stock in the age of the engine in determining whether you should fix it or not. The overall condition should be the deciding factor. There are plenty of engines that are 15-20 years old and are in much better shape than 5yo engines...

    Fuel Pump Not Working After Engine Swap SV600 to SV590

    Good news, I am up and running. I originally tried replacing the breather hose in the valve cover with the line to the fuel pump. After the mower ran for about 3 minutes, it blew the dipstick out. So, I figured the fuel pump didn't allow enough pressure to bleed off causing and excess build-up...

    Fuel Pump Not Working After Engine Swap SV600 to SV590

    Thanks everybody, I think I will try connecting to the valve cover and see how that works out. If that doesn't work, I will look into connecting to the dipstick tube.

    Fuel Pump Not Working After Engine Swap SV600 to SV590

    I wish that was the case, but on the 590, the spot is a raised cast molded spot but was never drilled.

    Fuel Pump Not Working After Engine Swap SV600 to SV590

    I bought a Husqvarna mower with a Kohler SV600S that had a crack in the block that the original owner had repaired. The engine runs perfect but most of the oil will leak out within a week. I found a replacement engine which is the SV590 that came from an MTD with a broken frame. I swapped the...

    No Spark On Briggs

    I have a Cub Cadet Lawn Tractor with a Briggs and Stratton 18.5hp OHV engine, model number 31Q777 0305 E1 that has no spark. I have tried 3 different magnetos, the original, one from a tractor that I knew worked and a brand new one. Still no spark. I disconnected the kill wire while trying the...

    Ariens YT11 Will Not Turn Over

    Hello. I need some help. I have a Ariens YT11 (model #935009, SN 007800) that I can not get to turn over. The mower was given to a friend who worked on it and he couldn't fix it, so he passed it on to me. When I turn the key, I get nothing. I have checked and I am getting 12V to the solenoid...

    LT1042 Will Not Turn Over

    Hello. I recently purchased an LT1042 (model 13BX11CG712) from a guy who could not get it to start. Once I got the mower, I found that he had cut the end connectors off the battery cables and had the wires taped on to the battery post along with a ground wire (picture). I replaced the cable...
