Check your plug(s). Ran rich then died. Probably all Carboned up. Clean or change them as your skill level fits if you find they're black and/or wet. Good luck.

Just to close this out. Thanks for everyone's feedback. Bertsmobile1 called it perfectly. Pretty bad design, especially using the split 'rollpin' shaft. I went with the bearing and SS shaft retrofit. Once I got it apart I found bushing and shaft wear on both wheels. Everything fit...

Haven't found that on a diagram either. That's one of the reasons I'm asking for advice. The Amazon reviews on the bearing kit say removing the worn bushings was the toughest part. Could be Husqvarna wants to sell the whole wheel assembly only. Amazon also has what they claim are the...

One front wheel bushing on my Husqvarna Z254 54" Zero Turn mover is shot. First wheel problem, 10 years old, grease all zircs annually. Looking on Amazon, I can buy replacement bushings or they have a kit that replaces the bushings with bearings and a 304 SS shaft insert. I prefer bearings to...

Ongoing debate between a friend and I. I believe not bagging puts the nutrients it took to grow the grass back into the ground. Agree with the 45 degree discharge chute. The Scott's fertilizer instructions specifically say not to bag. Good enough for me!

I haven't seen it done but I wonder if one of the detaching blades with the tyne that goes down to the ground would make the bahia pop back up to be cut so you wouldn't need to go back over it.

If you're even close to level with good blades it's not a cutting issue. That 'highway grass' is bahia grass. It's got a thick stalk. Your wheels mash it flat and it stays that way as the blades pass over. By the time you do your next pass they've popped back up. A quick second pass, like you...

That's the relay. Can't tell you how many hours I've spent on the same issue on my Z254. Checked every wire and switch, as well as possible, on that schematic. Husqvarna doesn't make it easy to check. Replaced then bypassed the seat switch and it started off and on. Mine ended up being the...

My neighbor's nearly new Cub Cadet ZT142 has an issue where the Main Drive Idler Spring keeps falling off. The belt looks like new, has no issues and, watching it running after reassembly, the belt runs smoothly across the pulleys while the idler pulls constant non-hopping tension. I flipped...

I'll check all three and let you know if I find anything. It's degraded over time so wear and lube make sense. Thanks.

My Husqvarna Z254 zero turn, although drivable, steers differently on the left side versus the right. Left has minimal steering impact. The linkages and belt look good. Am I missing a key maintenance function like hydraulic fluid or an adjustment screw? Feeling dumb! Thanks for any advice.

Pretty basic but there should be two zinc coated levers on the rear that disengage the drive to allow you to move the mower without power. Check to ensure they're both pushed in. If they're OK ensure the belt is spinning the back pulley by having a friend observe it when you try to drive...

I had an identical problem with my Husqvarna that would come and go so I was sure it was a safety interlock issue. New seat switch, cleaned ignition contacts, checked fuses. It'd start and run for weeks then act up. Replaced the starter solenoid and haven't had an issue since.

Thanks a bunch for the super level of detail! Looked all over and couldn't find the service manual. I have the EB5300TH Blower. The cam set-up looks the same as the photos you've shared. I'll set it up and let you know how it went. Tks Again! A thousand thanks StarTech!!! My flywheel...

I messed up and, being used to my 2-cycle motors, didn't check the oil on my Makita 4-stroke backpack blower and locked it up. Stupid, I know! Tore it down and have it ready to go again but have no idea what the correct setting is for the valve timing. It's a gear drive for the crank...
