A picture of the setup would help , I have not seen a Titan machine and looked at that aspect of it. I know on my Bad Boy it's not messy they left an opening under that area to catch oil from the filter

They are not expensive , look at Amazon , I think the last one I bought was under 20 bux While you're at it get a 6 point socket to fit your plug , it will not slip off and you'll be able to pull and inspect them, there is no better way to see what condition your engine is in by using a...

Need a little history on the machine like how has it been running , did this happen all at once , has it been smoking for a while , is there motor oil in the fuel ? If it runs for a minute then dies , the valves are not stuck You will need to run a compression test to see the condition first ...

I'm thinking this is a " gravity" fed carb from the fuel tank, if the tank is dirty and fuel not flowing, pull and clean the tank as well as the fuel lines., carb is probably contaminated still , Mark O is right on about replacing the carb if you're not experienced in tearing them down , easy to...

I'd be surprised if a washer there added to the life of the bearings, a grease zert would be a better idea , most come with sealed bearings that cannot be greased anyway. when I change them out I pull the interior seals off the bearings and install grease zerts in the housings so I can grease...

You're goin to need to post the model , serial number etc for help first

If you jump across the 2 large terminals on the solenoid with good voltage and you get nothing, you need to pull your starter or look at your connections You didn't mention how old this machine is or it's overall condition or how it's been acting up till this point , All these factors help in...

Never believed in it myself , I just pour a little marvel mystery oil in my fuel and run it for a while to keep the soft goods from drying out if it's goin to sit idle over a long period of time , Shelf life for gasoline is not great but one season to another has never given me problems

You can verify this with a back light if I'm not mistaken but they do not look like anything to worry with, I would be more concerned with the governor

Doubt there is much difference , I use ear protection with my bad boy , just the nature of the machine

Your battery maybe weak , with no plug it will spin freely as there is no compression , make sure you have a good battery then see how it turn over for starting ,if it kicks off with starting fluid , it's a fuel problem not fire. Also too much starting fluid can make it kick back like your...

When you jump across the large terminals on the Solenoid , you're bypassing the solenoid and throwing direct voltage to the starter, in your case the starter is good , now work backwards from the small terminal from the key switch and check for power, if no power present, it's either a safety...

Shelves ? or Sheeves ? is there a question here ?

If you re install the old blade , does the noise go away ? That would verify if it's the blade change or something else

You say you installed a new carb ? Might still have a carburator problem , even new ones give trouble at times , pull it and check to see if the needle and seat are not leaking , flip it upside down and blow into the fuel supply with the float down , it should not let air pass, if it does , you...
