Re: Help: Lawn-Boy 21" SilverPro Series, 10247, DuraForce (2-cycle) behaving badly Nope, the back wheels are larger than those in front, but are not the high rear wheels that are on your Lawn-Boy. Here's a old pic of mine (2007): If you read this thread from the beginning you'll see that I...

In the past I've let it run out of gas and then did the oil in spark plug hole method, but since I started using Seafoam (stabilizes fuel for up to two years) a few weeks ago I'm wondering if just leaving it be for the winter would be a better method (I know it would be easier). So, for those...

Does anyone know the Duraforce (E series) fuel tank capacity on a SilverPro 10247 purchased in 2000? Thanks.

To test if the new CDI (coil) that I put on my Duraforce a few weeks ago is causing it to run badly I'm going to put the old one back on tomorrow. The old has some rust on the metal parts that get bolted down and may have some on the contacts, which I plan to clean off first. Now my question...

Because of fuel leaking from the carb on my Lawn-Boy 10247 with a Duraforce 2-cycle engine on September 3rd as a quick fix I installed a new fuel line and a 90 degree shut-off valve. After installing these items fuel mix from May of this year was put back in the tank and the mower was used...

Over the years I've replaced the plug in my Duraforce (E series) mower with the recommended NGK BPMR4A setting the gap at 0.035 in. (0.90 mm) as specified on page 15 of the Operator's Manual. Well, while looking at the Service Manual today on pages 2 and 14 it specifies 0.030 in. (0.76 mm). Does...

Re: Help: Lawn-Boy 21" SilverPro Series, 10247, DuraForce (2-cycle) behaving badly I haven't purchased new gas yet, but I did go out and cut the grass again (the neighbors must think I'm nuts). It started after the second prime and pull and pretty much ran the same as it did on Wednesday. I...

What makes Honda mowers worth the premium price (specifically their walk behind non-self propelled) versus a competitors mower with a Honda engine? Thanks.

In anticipation of putting a right angle shut off valve on my Lawn-Boy (specs in my sig) I purchased a length of new fuel line and shut-off valve on eBay. I received my new fuel line Friday (still waiting on the shut-off valve) and now I'm wondering if it's the best kind for a 2-cycle engine...

External Fuel Filter on a Lawn-Boy Duraforce? Over the last few days while looking for fuel shut-off valves I've run across forum posts (can't remember if they were here or not) that advocate installing an inline fuel filter between the shut-off valve and the carb. Various types were mentioned...

Re: Help: Lawn-Boy 21" SilverPro Series, 10247, DuraForce (2-cycle) behaving badly Thanks for the reply. Well, I went out and tried to start it tonight. Didn't prime it, just pulled the cord 3-4 times with no success. Took out the plug and checked it for spark and at least for the here and...
