After the passing of my father, I've taken over maintenance for my mom.
I'm having some issues trying to repair this 10 year old Snapper. My dad was a mechanic and kept everything in good shape. I can do basics but I'm def not a mower mechanic. YouTube is my best friend!
My mower:
Snapper 7800932-00
Ser# 2016462692
Engine model# 219807-0001-65
Looking for:
1. Service manual
2. Spark plug gap
3. Help diagnosing starting issues - I think it might be the starter. There is a new battery and it tries to turn over but just stops with a click. After multiple tries, it does finally turn over, and runs fine. But I'm not sure how to diagnose the starter.
I'm replacing the fuel filter and fuel lines as one is dry rotted, so I may as well replace them all.
I rebuilt the carb on this 5-6 years ago with a little assistance from my dad. He had COPD so he could sit there and direct, but couldn't do much else.
It's also flooded every time I try to start it. It didn't used to do this in years past, so I'm not sure what's causing this.
Mom is short on funds with dads SS and pension gone, and I'm disabled so funds are tight and I need to fix this myself, if at all possible.
I'm headed out for some fuel line and a filter, but first need to know the spark plug gap... Can't find this info anywhere. The plug looks fine and I cleaned it up but want to make sure it's gapped correctly.
Next would be locating a service manual.
And then diagnosing/replacing the starter. I've not been able to find a starter in any parts websites, so maybe this engine uses some other electronic starting component? I was thinking the approclx 6" cylindrical component on the back side is the starter, but maybe it's an alternator??? Pic attached.
A service manual sure would help!
Sorry so long, and thanks for any help!!
