Try to start it with the switch in the off position, also the coil gap should be 10 thousands of an inch, not a credit card gap. Read this again and go try both things I mentioned.
Has anyone found a good color match? I want to get mine done for an 8237 that I'm restoring. Places I've talked to refer to a color spectrum and suggest that RAL 6018 comes pretty close to the original. I'd be curious to know if someone found a better solution, I'm also assuming that spray paint...
I have 3 Canadian 8237's, serial numbers: 9245596 9090019 9046964. I am interested in rebuilding at least two of the engines if I can find parts, all three have F-140 engines. Thank You.
Where did you find your piston rings and other parts, Im wanting to do a overhaul on my F140 engine, I have three 8237's. This is a great mower that is well worth some investment!
I have a couple 8237's that are aging. I need to either buy a short block or get some parts and rebuild them. Im thinking piston, rings, seals and bearings. Is there any source for these parts anymore? Both engines have about 80 psi compression so are pretty tired. I don't want to give up on...
