On your flywheel nut, it helps a hundred times over if you have an impact gun. I never needed a super heavy duty one so years back I bought an electric one from harbor freight. Not expensive and I’ve used it many many times

I meant 8 and 10. Sorry.

Two googles and I found both 6 and 8”. Plenty on them.

I am not sure how many carbs I care of that stuff will do, but at that price, you can buy a couple of aftermarket new carburetors

Hap a guy drop off a mower, said he couldn’t even pull the starter rope. Suspecting hydro lock, I checked the oil dipstick. Normal. Flipped the mower over and found it was so full of dried grass, the blade wouldn’t mover a bit. Duh!!

I just took a mower in for repair that the owner had just put in a new battery. Exact problem. Easy fix.

The screws you are using are self tapping screws. And hardware store will have them. They actually cut threads when you are putting it in the hole the first. In your next try, just after getting it started, drop a few drops of motor oil or any type of oil to lub. As you are cutting those...

I do watch Donyboy pretty often. As for Taryl, I can’t hack him. Tks.

Engine is a Kawasaki 18 hp v twin with a heck of a leak. Here is the original thread explaining it http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/showthread.php/39911-FH531V-18-hp-v-twin-leaking-tons-of-oil So what I found, the crankshaft exits the bottom of the engine to hold the main drive pulley and the...

Have a JD with 18 hp v twin FH531V that is leaking oil badly. It appears to be coming out of the lower crankshaft seal. But not when its running but after it has been running 15-20 minutes. Took off the pto, checked and replaced the seal but still doing this. I'm beginning if this might be...
