I have a B&S 12.5hp in a Stiga Villa 14. It has 2 niggles but may be normal
Niggle 1 When I start it, hot or cold I have to give it full choke. Once it starts it coughs an splutters just as any petrol engine on choke, when I set the throttle off choke it runs perfect no smoke(of any colour)...

All,
I am starting the process of downsizing my home and outdoor equipment. I have plenty of vintage Honda mower parts that I would like to see someone else get use out of the items.
Some of the items are:
Running GXV 140 engine on aluminum deck.
Two sets of upper handlebars from HR215 and...
Hello all. I have this Snapper push mower with the ex 550 Briggs and Stratton engine. It has the plastic carburetor. It revs way too high and sounds like it is going to blow up. I tried to adjust the governor spring tab already and it fixed nothing. The linkages all looked connected properly and...
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...
Have the DeWalt DCMWSP256 U2 mower. I used it about 4 times and it worked great. I folded it up and stored it for a month. I unfolded it and set it up and it will not turn on.
Batteries are charged and they are seated in place. All the switches appear to be working properly. The key is in place...
I just bought a carburetor replacement kit for my Honda lawn mower, and I can't figure out where this piece goes. Looks like a fuel strainer, any idea?
My mower loses power when I switch on the pto. when I cut sort of heavy grass the mower bogs down, like the governor is not switching on. I checked the governor and and checked the adjustment, but I see nothing not working. I was wondering if I cann just hook the throttle to the carb and...
I have the above mower. Not sure what model Briggs it is, but it has the automatic choke connected to the muffler, with a control rod. Symptoms vary. Sometimes it starts and runs. Sometimes it doesn't start. When it does run, it will sometimes go until I have to empty the bag, then it won't...
Can anyone provide the model number of the B&S engine on a Sears: Model 247.288851/Serial Number 1A281B10208?
Owner left town on a cruise and I want to work up a parts cost for an engine rebuild (provided taper isn't too out of spec) before they get back.
Just bought a new C23i 2025 walker mower. I have used it three times and it only has 6 hours on it. Every time I use it , after about an hour of use, the battery goes completely dead. I have to recharge the battery to start it again. Before I trailer it back to the dealer, I would like to...
I have a Bolens 21” mower Below is a picture of a label that looks like someone put it on that repaired the mower before I inherited it. It just quit running when I was mowing the grass and I am trying to clean the carburetor. I turned on four videos of Bolens plastic carbs and they look...
I'm having an issue with an old Craftsman 7.25 190cc mower. It starts easily on the first pull and runs flawlessly, but if i shut it off when it's hot and then try to start it by pulling the rope, it will backfire once and then with repeated pulls it won't start until the motor cools. I don't...
Hey folks,
Got an old IMT 407 that's got a seized clutch. Need to pull the whole assembly out of the casing to replace it. I've drained the oil and taken off the guards, but the center bolt just spins the pulley. No puller on hand.
Any simple steps or tricks to get it off the crankshaft? Tools...
Hello,
We've been having some issues with our mower. It runs well overall, but sometimes it suddenly shuts down even when the tank is full. At first, we were unsure what was causing the problem. Then I realized that if I open the gas cap to release some air and close it again, it starts up just...
1st time this has occurred. Mower loses drive. Initially freewheel control lever had relocated itself to back position (freewheeling) while mowing. Reset. After more mowing it lost drive again. Freewheel lever won't hold back position but freewheels anyway. After some idle time, will reengage...
Hi, I could use some help with my 2013 Grasshopper 725DT6. I think that I may have two problems but I’m unsure. It seems everything works when cold, then after warm up my blades stop running and will not reengage. I can’t hear the clutch engaging. Also the ignition switch will not shut down the...
Since The cheapest MTD mower is over $2200.00 and the Husqvarna is $2899.99 what would be a fair price for a good used mower? Around here if I ask $500.00 for one, they think you are trying to rob them. I don't sell junk I go over them and fix whatever it needs. Never have had but one complaint...
When was the first electric mower used . I recall one in the 1950's , I never used it but I have the switch of one of about that era that turns my old table saw on and off . I thought it appropriate because the T S is a 1947 Sears Roebuck that I can turn on and off with my knee .
Craftsman mower lift, the directions are not very good. I bought the craftsman lift at an auction, the price was really low.
I don't think the people who had it before never used it and didn't put it together correctly.
One of those thing where the MFG in china needs some one who came speak...
Hi,
I have a Ferris IS500z that I bought in 2007. The mower was running fine until yesterday when it started to stall when I cranked up the throttle past 50%. I rode it back to my shed and shut it off and now I don't even hear the solenoid click when I turn the key. I'm guessing it's a bad...
Hello everyone,
I recently got an exmark mska21b lawn mower for $5.00 at an auction as a non-operable. Turns out it just needed a carb cleaning and it fired right up with only a half hour of tinkering. It work great, and I want to give this to my dad as it is better suited for the larger...
I finally got the drive belt in place!
Then I had to straighten a bent bracket and add two washers for a pulley to get lined up. Was able to get the motor running, I went for a drive and everything looks, feels and smells like it’s all good!
NOW I’m back to the motor won’t start!
Has my engine...
Hi,
I have a Honda HRN216VKAD, with the GCV170 engine bought new in the box from Home Depot on line this year. The engine model is GJAUA 2361122MY03 with a punch mark on the data plate and blue dot so the recalled camshaft on these engines was done I assume at the factory, Runs great, it leaks...
Anybody got any idea of a reasonably priced mower or lawn/yard tractor that can cut grass on a steeper lawn AND push a plow or blower in the winter? My 25 year old rear engine rider has hard to find parts, and my 20 inch Ariens snow blower was bought 20 years ago when we lived in northern...
Hi all,
I have been considering a robot mower for my garden - with an area under trees
i was at the kingsbridge show today , and they had a stand for robot mowers autocut the company and they are exclusively Husqvarna and robots only
They seemed to know a lot and answered questions which i knew...
I just purchased an old yellow deck JD STX38 in near perfect condition. The battery is probably not the best but a few days after charging it is able to start the tractor. When I tested voltage was at 13.6 while running. After about 20 minutes of mowing the battery is completely drained. How...
I bought a used Hustler Raptor 42 & former owner had a mulching “kit” installed by the dealer but I’ve noticed the brackets on my mower deck are different than the one in parts manual & attach by only 3 places not 4 connected to the height lever. The attaching bracket bolts are very long on mine...
I have a Honda HRR2167VXA mower that has recently developed a bad vibration. The blades have been replaced, so I do not suspect that to be the issue. The vibration is worse when the mower is started up, and it smooths out some when the blade is engaged. The self propelled drive seems to be...
Greetings! New member here.
A neighbor was gifted the above referenced mower; told me it started and ran fine for at least one lawn mowing (and many years with previous owner), then she filled with some bad/old gas and it hasn't worked since. I offered to go into it for her, believing with all...
There is a 70” Gravely Triplex Hydro Reel Mower for sale locally. Are parts still available for this thing?
I've experimented with a push reel mower on a small area of my lawn, and I like it. But my lawn is too big to mow with a push mower. This would fix that.
All of my usual questions have been answered by reading other people's posts, but not this one. I have a John Deere Zero Turn mower, model Z930M (54" cut). Bought it used but not cheap. Now at 1,200 hours and I use it for a three-acre field and 2-acre lawn. Once I learned how to turn without...
I have this older Snapper that still starts on the first pull.
I need to replace the drive belt. I also need to change the oil and air filter.
Where should I go to find the parts?
A manual I found online didn't tell me the kind of oil I should use. IIRC (not a sure thing at 83) I used 30W...
Hello,
This is my first riding mower so I’m learning a lot. We started using this in 2019.
I don’t have a nice flat lot. We have 3 1/2 acres out in the country. Probably the majority of what I cut is flat, but the steering is used a LOT!
There are many areas with angles/ruts/slopes that test...
Hello,
I suddenly noticed a tightness in a specific point while turning the steering wheel. I raised it up and found one wheel connector to ‘axle’ problem. This is my first riding mower so I’m learning all about it!
Please let me know of any other front end parts that I might need to look at!
I...
The Self-propelled Drive Disk turns fine but the belt from the Transmission to the wheel slips. The Briggs Engine is 4HP as noted in title. The throttle cable rubbed on the Engine shroud and wore the stamped numbers off. I am guessing Mower from the early 80's. But with no Model numbers, not...
I have a toro mower from about 2013. I stored it without any gas thinking this is better than with gas and a bottle of ethanol added in.
Well, I wound up having a family member give us a Honda mower that was in great condition and worked so over the years I used the Honda instead. The empty...
Hello I have an lt2000 19.5 horsepower hp Craftsman.
The mower deck is a 42-in cutting with deck.
For more than a month I've had the deck separated from the frame of the mower.
I have replaced both spindles I have replaced the large idler pulley, I have replaced the small idler pulley.
I...
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to acquire a platform for a spray tank on the front of a 72 in. Scag? I asked the dealer but they apparently don't make any such attachment. Times like this I wish I had learned how to weld.
I have a 2012 year Bolens 500e 140cc lawnmower that will not start. It has a new plastic carburetor, airfilter, and cleaned out flushed has tank. The mower makes good spark but the only way to get it to run a few seconds is to put gas into the spark plug hole (will run for 2-3 seconds) or...
I inherited an old Scotts Intex Edge self-propelled lawnmower, (though a Google search also turned up "Intek" in addition to Intex),) 6.5 HP OHV. The plate says S014255730423 and Code 9047M. The customer service number on the plate is for Briggs & Stratton, not the lawnmower itself...
My Bad Boy MZ Magnum runs for about 20 mins then stops. It starts to sputter like it's running out of gas then quits. I have a full tank of gas in it. I'd let it sit for about 10 to 15 mins, start it again and the same thing happens. Runs for a bit then quits. Fuel pump? Fuel filter? Carb issue...
I have a John Deere Z345r zero turn mower that blows the PTO fuse every time I start the mower, without actually engaging the PTO. I have taken a look at the wiring haven't found anything damaged, I unplugged the clutch, and it still blows a fuse. I have not been able to find a wiring diagram...
I've got a 9360600 Series Ariens Riding Mower with a 42" Deck.
The belt is supposedly 954-04060 which is a 1/2" x 95.5" belt.
If I put a 1/2" x 95.5" belt on the mower its too loose. The blades will spin, but it takes a while for them to get up to speed and in grass they stop. A 95" belt is too...
New guy here. Does anyone know what the model was or have any information on a Ferris mower that is a 32” Stand on style with an adjustable seat? I have researched everywhere I can think and have not been able to find any information on what this mower is.
Any information that anyone has would...
I've got an almost 30 year old Toro 20449 (GTS2 - SN:7901137) that doesn't seem to have the power it once did. I can't find an engine identifier anywhere, but it's a 5 hp Briggs.
I bought it new and have only put and hour on so per year on it as I only use it to mow one hill. Even though the...
The murray riding mower I have will not all even crank. In the wiring system from the wiring harness to the alternator wire the connecting wire has 3 wires and one of those wires is black which would indicate that might be a ground but I'm unsure of where it goes. Any help is greatly...
