Thanks MPar and ILENGINE, for the replies. At least I understand what it is now. It's been so dry this year there has been areas with exposed sand. I mow an acre and the blades did 2 full seasons and been sharpened twice. I was just a bit bewildered having never seen anything like that. I have...

I removed my blades yesterday off a Cub Cadet 42" (2 blade) deck mower. I'm 72 yrs old and never seen anything like this (prior install and after pics attached). I don't recall hitting anything serious since I put these blades on in the spring when I last sharpened them. After I saw them, I...

Thanks for replys, last night I had envisioned all kinds of dilemmas. But it seems working ok this morning after I got the belt on another way. Still puzzled why at least two times in the past I was able to turn the PTO pulley with engine off and yesterday every time I tried to turn it (no...

I have a 2019 CUB CADET ZT1 42" MODEL #17AREACS010 (zero turn) residential mower with 12 hrs on it. Bought it last yr round Sept. It's worked great until today. Yesterday I removed the deck, and replaced the blades (new blades never were very sharp). Put it all back together got blade belt back...

Need some input here. Was looking in my Kawasaki OEM manual for the FC420V flywheel nut torque specs. Now admittedly I'm just a shade tree mechanic but I have read a few torque specs over the yrs but never recall one written like this. As shown in attached pic the Flywheel Nut for FC420V is...

Attached pics denote the Harbor Freight Harmonic Balancer puller I used to pull my Kawasaki FC420V flywheel. I found this the safest method to pull this flywheel since the engine casing was aluminum and some areas around perimeter a thin flared extrusion that could have cracked with much bar...

I've heard some folks use a business card to set the coil gap. Just to see what my coil gap was I did a google search. I found my Kawa FC420V gap setting but was confused by some others that had 2 numbers. What exactly does it mean when it says something like .012 - .050 ? Kawasaki Coil Gaps...

I have a question for a strange scenario I don't understand. On my Kawasaki FC420V-FS15 engine there is a spring that rides along and (mid way) wraps around the throttle connector rod. The spring doesn't seem to do anything (?) it just sits on the throttle rod hooked in the same holes as the...

I rebuilding the carb on my old Scag/Exmark copy 36" walk behind mower (sold by Black Rock Mfg back in 1999) . It has a Kawasaki FC420V-FS15 engine with (I'm pretty sure) the OEM carb 15003-2349. My question is about the side spring loaded screw on bottom of Float Bowl. I surmise this is a float...

I have an older Homelite Mightylite 26ss Weedwack, bought maybe 8 to 10 yrs ago. Gets limited use and use premix None ethanol fuel. Broke one of the fuel lines and possibly need other parts. My Problem is the number on the bottom of the Cover does not come up in any searches, even at the...

Can I paint the flywheel without it affecting the ignition magnet? I've got an engine with rust build up on flywheel, so much I can hear it rubbing on the coil arm gaps. The engine has been sitting awhile with no use. I could just sand it off and put oil on it, but figured if it won't hurt the...

Ok, I tried editing and reloading the image on the reply above but it refused to load it. So I tried here again on the same From Computer button. Ok this time it appears to have loaded, although the process is a bit ambiguious. The loading screen just sat there for at least 5 min's. I went away...

Welcome input on this. This mower is a very old 22" Poulan Hi Wheel push Mower (originally sold as Weedeater model) with a Briggs 6.5hp engine. It has one of those 4x5 plastic plates that holds the primer bulb and the PVC hose connector (from valves cover) and this whole plate bolts to carb...
