Have to give lynn a C- on the article.

Kevlar generally refers to being wrapped in a kevlar fabric. Wrapped belts are used in clutching applications as they allow some slippage as they engage. Raw edge or unwrapped belts are not designed to be used in clutching applications. Kevlar wrapped belts are more durable than unwrapped belts...

Yes...kinda. remove the mixture needle and make sure the passages are all clear. When you set the mixture do it with the tank half full.

I just replaced one of those. The first aftermarket one didn't tighten down properly and the belt didn't line up. The complete end of it broke off after 5 mins of running. That was fun. OEM one worked. Cust supplied the AM one. While you are in there remove the idlers and pop a seal off and oil...

I just got a Scotts branded tiller in yesterday that is made by Ardisam. Both belts shredded. Maybe i should add a tarrif surcharge. LOL

They are both 14 cubic inch briggs. Some were recoil and some starter generator. The yellow one is more complete but is recoil start. The green one has the starter generator. I will probably wind up removing both engines and use the best of each to make a good electric start one

Guy just dropped these off this morning. Made by Lennox the air condition folks. He wants me to get one working with electric start.

Incorrect. The simplicity deck is designed for the rear roller shaft to ride on the ground. They are not anti scalp rollers. The chains are attached to the lift arms to raise the deck to the transport position.

If the front deck height is correct and the electric lift is working properly you should get close to 4 inches of cut height. I have seen the lift mechanism on the electric decks bind up and not have full range of travel. The chain trick usually hold the rollers slightly off the ground but it...

Check your chains on the rear of the deck. Go to the second link and you may get the height you want. There is an adjustment for the front height of the deck with a rod at the back of the deck. Shortening the rod raises the front of the deck. Those stupid deck motors die all the time. The old...

Get a straight shaft trimmer and an OEM Echo speed feed 400 head.

All kawasaki engines at around 800 hours needs the govenor shaft seal replaced. There are vids on the tube.

I run a mower shop and that is what the customer said when i told him that he needed new blades
