    Belt keeps popping off.

    I suspect the anti rotate bracket has come off or not connected allowing the tranny to tilt. Picture of frame to axle mounting bolts kind of show hints of something not correct, like possible cracking around mounting bolts.

    Poulan Pro PR5020 adjustment and questions

    My questions: 1) Is 125 psi sufficient compression? Yes 2) Assuming compression is sufficient and given that crankcase holds vacuum and pressure, should I be concerned about the piston scoring? Yes, Piston and cylinder are toast, And cost prohibitive to repair and will prevent any...

    No spark and fuel pump keeps running and low pressure

    Very odd that both would fail at the same time. But will also consider the fact that they may be related. Engine codes would be helpful but it may not have any. Either way is going to require a systematic step by step in sequence diagnostics, not a throw the book at it and hope something...

    How on earth did this happen?

    On the Intek V-twins the push rod will fit through the oil drain back hole from the push rod cavity. Could be the push rod got jammed in the camshaft which broke the gear. And most people don't notice the engine running on one cylinder so it give it time for the push rod to work down into the...

    Sheared/Broken Crankshaft Keyway.

    I don't think he is talking about the flywheel key shearing..He is talking about the keyway on the pto end of the crankshaft being broken where the electric clutch mounts. I suspect the clutch was loose and then hammer broke the crank keyway.

    D110 Issue

    Either you have a bad wire connector, most commonly at the battery, but could be were the ground wire connects to the frame, or the battery is quesionable. Something is causing the battery voltage to drop below the level it needs to keep the starter solenoid engaged.

    McLane 3.5 HP edger- Revs and then slows and repeats, surging

    Carb not clean enough. Surging is almost related to a dirty carb, unusually in the idle circuit. Since carb engines run on the idle circuit even at full rpm with no load.
