Hello GMM, They quit making a repair connector with the diode on the red wire for this style stator a few years ago. I would not go through the expense of replacing that style stator because it was not meant for an electric PTO application. You have a "leaking"/open diode on the red stator...

Hello T., So, now it's a no start? Or is a no cranking condition?

What are you describing as "bypassed"? Like I mentioned, I cut the plunger tip off of the solenoid on mine.

Hello H., You forgot to them give them a "lifetime warranty" and beg them to take it off your hands. LOL. Trying to sell used equipment has become a real challenge these days. I take cash only, no check and no credit cards. Sales have been slow, but I tend to be strict about asking potential...

Hello T., This likely has a bad pulse diaphragm in the side or parts were not put back correctly. Here is an aftermarket carburetor that is compatible...

Hello Fixer, Welcome to the forum. Not all models had an "official" voltage regulator. Briggs and Stratton used several different charging system configurations. We need the rider product label information, and the engine valve cover stamped number or label information to be able to...

Hello R., The fuel shutoff solenoid (anti-backfire valve) can be connected either way. It is individually insulated internally. One problem that is common is the shutoff solenoid can go bad, or they are bad right out of the box on replacement carburetors. Personally, on my own equipment, I...

Here is an aftermarket kit I found: According to the instructions, the heat shield part number is 24 265 09-S...

Is this engine on a machine, or is it a project you are building? The engine side of the harness is very limited to only a few wires and usually connects to a gang plug for the machine it is installed on. Pick one that is correct...

Hi Star Tech, I've only seen a few that even had the update change. I think the heat shields were the most important factor. I made some templates of a set years ago and only ended up making 1 set of the heat shields. I'm not even sure what happened to my templates.

Hello L., 545 hrs. and about 12 seasons of use. I think you discovered the "lifetime" limit of that particular engine. I see similar models around here that seldom survive over 350 hrs. It is mostly due to lots of sand and poor customer maintenance habits. I recently had a fairly new Cub Cadet...

Hello T. Is this blue smoke from the exhaust or is it coming from the engine valve covers at the bottom and going onto the exhaust pipes? Kohler had a valve cover upgrade kit that included heat shields and replacement covers. I'm not sure they still have them available. If it is only from the...

Hello J., Thanks for the resolution and closure. We see way too many disappear, because they actually fixed them, or got frustrated and gave up.

Hello P., You should have continued with your previous thread/posting where you left off that you going to order a new carburetor. At last count, you are dealing with 1 machine and have at least 3 separate thread/postings. It creates confusion. These assorted choke levers basically pull...

I don't think it was a scam but rather trying to save more misery and put you on a known working machine that he had for sale. I frequently buy, refurbish and sell a few mowers when I can. Others are just parted out because they are beyond economic repair. I let customers test mow and let...
