Good idea!!:p It's not...all the time. I checked valve clearance on both cylinders....tight, zero clearance(set at .004"). The suspect cylinder does eventually fire (checked with a heat gun on the exhaust pipes) then dies in less than 30 seconds. The spark is very weak.

Working on a Toro Model: 75754, Engine Model 139-0602 The complaints and observations are: when deck is engaged the engine "bogs" down almost to a stop but will regain rpm. Low power. Exhaust smoke. Oil in muffler outlet. I did a compression test on both cylinders: both tested out 150-160...

Thanks...this particular model has a mechanical belt tightening system...no electric clutch. 20Amp is a good recommendation!! Thanks, bartles

Thxs.....I checked line amps running and cranking and settled on a 20. Thanks for the confirmation! bartles

Man I appreciate the help, thanks again, bartles

The pic up load didn't up load😖 The first two numbers are 28 the next "number" looks like a 2....the balance of the digits are H07-0196-E1. Could the digit after 28 be a Z?

Got the cover off and carefully uncovered another model number....the serial number I provided initially was from the fan cowling. Probably not the original cover. Hopefully I can attach a picture...the letter after the two numbers "looks" like another number.

Thanks, it does seem excessive! bartles

Thank you, good suggestion! bartles

Thanks!!

The stamped model information on the rocker arm cover is no read able butvI have a photo of the serial number attached Thanks in advance, bartles

...help! bartles

Nice fabrication... I appreciate the hel

Look what I found in the owners manual about the fuse rating....30 amps....that seems high to me for a manually clutched PTO. fyi, bartles

Thank you, bartles
