Hi. Sorry I haven't added anything to this for a while. I has a medical emergency that kept me tied up until now. It turns out the problem was the brand new battery I bought for it was defective. The top was not sealed correctly and was leaking. I didn't figure this out until I went to return...

I forgot to mention you were totally correct about the choke not closing all the way. I fixed that and it starts right up until the battery discharges.

Honestly I don't know enough about the mower to confirm if it's 3/5 charging system. I can say the headlight bulbs are good from what my multimeter says but they do not turn on. There is one brown wire that is always hot and there are 2 black wires that are hot or at 0v depending on the position...

That makes perfect sense. I will disconnect the ground after use over the next few days and see what happens. I was thinking it was not charging at first because the head lights would get bright or dim depending on the engine rpm. Then I realized that is how it works with this type of charging...

Model: 331877 or l33L877 Type code1449 61 100309zd I don't think it needs a magneto. I put the meter on it while running and it's charging like it should. The issue is the battery will loose cranking amps after a couple of days and it won't start the mower unless I jump or recharge it. The...

So here is what I think the valve cover says

I will take a look as soon as I get to my shop and post what the valve cover says. The sticker under the seat with the numbers I gave you was there when I bought it. I'm guessing some one other than the factory put it on to mess with who ever owned it or worked on it next. Thank you for...

The last info with the model and engine number came from under the seat. I don't have a picture of that. I can get one tomorrow if needed. Thank you again.

I'm sorry. I should have added this info Craftsman lawn tractor Yts 3000 Model # 917.289140 540cc, 21hp briggs platinum xrd Engine # 143.008501

I haven't lost spark. I charge the battery and it dies in about a day. The thing is just not charging. The engine has the briggs label on it but it's built by Tecumseh. Here's a pic of the info on the mower and the top of the engine. Thanks for the reply. Oh. It's a 21hp if that helps

Hi. I can't figure out what magneto I need for my craftsman yts3000 ride on mower. Model 917.289140 21hp briggs platinum xrd engine #143.008501 I believe it's made by Tecumseh but there are no labels saying so. The research I've done trying to find the correct part and part number has only led...

Thank you. That'd the exact info I needed. I'm going to tear it down later this week and see what's what.

Hi. The model is: 247.775862 (24B-485B099) - Craftsman Chipper Shredder (1998) (Sears) Branches stopped self feeding into both the chipper hopper. I have to force them down or they sit in the hopper and bounce around. It used to feed fine. The issue started small to where i had to push...

Awesome! Thank you so much.

I don't have close to the knowledge as the other guys who replied to this post but I've had a similar experience with a generator. I've used after market carbs, even the cheapest Chinese built carbs on the market on some of my equipment and they worked fine. I bought 3 after markets carbs for...
