I did not even know that blade brakes were a thing. They are very worn, and about $50 from sears with shipping. Still gonna measure that amazon belt. Thank you all!

Yes, i've got a bad habit of getting parts off Amazon and it's not the first time they have messed me up. 917-276825

I apologize. The mower is an lt3000 Craftsman with a 19hp Briggs. The attached picture is from when I first dropped the deck.

Thanks, I do use the fuel shutoff and will be replacing the solenoid.

Popped a new deck belt on and replaced the missing blade return spring on my mower, but the blades are still engaged constantly. The spring appears to be doing its job as the bracket moves back into place. Does this new belt just need to be broken in? Adjustments? When disengaged it has very...

Thanks, it was the fuel solenoid. I took the rubber off of the plunger and it's running fine.

Ended up cleaning the carburetor and found a big chunk blocking the jet underneath the float. Changed the oil and found gas all in it. Still no start. Is it time to replace the carb? Thanks,

Alright guys, I got the mower to a retired tech who had it for a little over a week. Turns out whoever had the mower before me put a new engine on it, and that new engine had a shroud that came from a different motor. I had been ordering coils for the model number that's printed on the plastic...

I understand that I'm a dummy, but I'm trying. Just a guy in a wheelchair trying to cut his grass. I'm also a former operator, which means I did in fact go around cutting and splicing safety switches. Could this have caused my current issue? Would it be worth it to buy a new wiring harness...

I put a new ignition switch and a new OEM coil in. Ran it to operating temp a couple separate times, it ran good. Went to turn it over again and no spark.

I pulled it just to look and it had water inside. Would that be an issue?

Been having issues with my mower losing spark. I replaced the initial coil with a cheapo from Amazon. Ran it for about fifteen minutes and shut it down. Could not get it to fire up after that. Eventually came around to replacing the coil again. With another cheapo from Amazon. Ran it for about...

Thank you all for the input. Mark got it. I initially replaced the coil with a cheapo from Amazon. The lead was bad and it started right up after replacing, although I did replace it with yet another el cheapo part. I ran it around the yard for about ten minutes and then shut it down, gave it a...

I am grounding the Champion plug to the frame

Been going through this Craftsman riding mower, replaced coil and plug, bypassed all safety switches and now its only sparking through the rubber boot. And it'll only spark through the boot if the wire is bent a certain way. I've got two good coils and it's happening with both of them. Zero...
