I've used average normal hardware store brand weed eaters forever and finally got tired of working on them more than actually using them. To be fair, I'm hard on my tools. A few years ago I finally decided to make a semi-step up and buy an Echo. (I have a hard time letting go of money)...
Time to take the chainsaws to the California Capital Bld.. Just make sure it's at night. According to the precedence of leftest judges in other leftest states, it's not an insurrection if it's at night and no one's home. Of course, we all know, no one is EVER at home in the California Capital.
Thanks Will. I decided not to even try breaking the wire and just go ahead and cough up $100. I might have been tempted to leave it like that if I had tried, ha. I'm almost 70 and it's the nicest mower I've ever had for sure and I don't want to cheapen it or misuse it. I've always been hard...
I know some time has passed on this but, I just wanted to thank everyone who chimed in with suggestions. I ordered the "control box" AM 141075 (took forever...I quit Amazon) and waited until next cut. Once I started cutting, I waited for it to shut down again. I made sure that when the engine...
Hey Will. Right off, like you said, the choke didn't make a difference. Anyway, I guess I didn't get my head far enough up in the dash to see the module so I didn't do as you said. Found it 'after' the cut. Still sounds legit to me though, especially since it seems to have worked great for...
Hey Will, thanks for stopping by. I've been cutting this morning for a few hours and scratching my head the whole time. Right off the bat after I start cutting, it died. Kept doing that frequently for awhile. Sometimes would start back up and sometimes not ( right away). I started shutting...
Thanks for that info. I've actually thought about that, especially since the starter fluid didn't work, duh. The thing is that it's so random and sometimes shuts off within minutes and then sometimes it runs for long periods of time. Sometimes it will crank right back up immediately and...
Last year when the mower "wasn't" mine, I removed the gas tank as mentioned above. Like I said, I cleaned it good and afterwards cut more acreage than it had in a long time before shutting off. Although, at that time it cranked right back up and I would continue cutting. Of course, it kept...
Sorry about that. When I say 'crank', I mean crank and run. It will always turn over, always. Never failed to turn over and it's just as smooth as can be, just no sign of firing. But, when the engine Stops abruptly, it just like I ran "out of gas" (and usually BACKFIRES), and would not...
This tractor was my neighbor's before she passed. I've worked on it many times for her but, now it's mine and I still have a reoccurring problem that I never found a solution for. Here's the deal........
Crank it up, mow the grass. After NO designated amount of time it will just DIE like it's...
Very good chance that Star Tech's answer, "Sounds like the classic valves out adjustment or a fail ACR (Automatic Compression Release) on the camshaft." is the correct answer but, you also need to follow "tag pop's" recommendation to make sure that it will turn over properly, if at all. Pop the...
Hi Guys,
New guy here. I'm a decent mechanic and a licensed electrician but, I've been fighting this problem on and off for days. I was determined to figure this out without help but I just can't get it. I wish I knew more about small engines. I've looked over this forum and still can't get...
