Yes, I ran it with the O2 sensor disconnected, that was in my previous post. It seemed to run fine with the o2 sensor disconnected. And thank-you for the download link, I'll get that right now. I'll see about getting a small incandescent light tomorrow. I have an old pressure gage but it...

Tried to hook up my DVM to the MIL output terminal (pins 3 and 4 on 6 wire connector) but it doesn't respond quick enough to capture the voltage change. Ran engine at 2600rpm for 4 minutes, started missing but no black smoke. Disconnected o2 sensor and ran at 2600 for 4 minutes, no miss...

Data from the engine tag: Serial 4509700131; SPEC PS-ECV870-3013

Unfortunately no MIL light, the engine model number is for the Kohler 31hp fuel injected engine used on Dixie Chopper lawn mowers so there is no choke or carburetor. The primary side was checked from the ECU connector terminals through the coil with a DVM. The coil supports a dual spark plug...

Have a 2016 Dixie Chopper Classic with a Kohler ECV870-3013 and it has an odd issue. It starts fine and runs good for about 2-3 minutes then gets weak RPM drops from 3300 to 26-2800 and exhaust smells rich. Shut it off, restart it and runs good for 2-3 minutes rinse repeat. Check the primary...

8 Amps at 12V is 96 watt so 50 watt light bar won't be an issue. 50 Watt is 4.1666 Amp at 12 Volt.

Have a 49T877 engine and the muffler bolts backed out. Does anyone know the correct bolt torque? According to an engineering website it can be 80 in lb into aluminum and 192 in lb into steel. The only thing I have found so far is this but it is saying 150 in lb the bolts are 5/16-18.

Right, it seems to be operating in reverse of the way it is supposed to. It almost as if the switch was replace with an incorrect one. Normally open when it should be normally closed or vice versa.

Okay, the rear deck hangers weren't supporting the deck so I adjusted them ot the back is 1/4" higher than the front, side to side difference is about 1/8". Put the new belt (B88) on and adjusted the spring so it is compressed to 3". Fired it up with the floor pan off and thought the belt was...

Thanks, going out to see what I can come up with right now.

Already downloaded the manual, no deck adjustment instructions.(https://www.dixiechopper.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700503-2016-classic-safety-operation-and-maintenance-manual-rev-a.pdf). I also noticed on the belt along one side of the vee it had what appeared to be small cuts in it. I'm...

I just bought a 2016 Dixie Chopper Classic with 440 hours and need some advice. I tried to mow with the deck at 3" and mowed for about 20 minutes and broke the engine to mower deck belt. Grass was 4" long and fairly dry. Just checked the belt and it was a B87, manual says use B88. Checked...

Hi All, just bought a 2016 Dixie Chopper classic with the 31hp Kohler! I am so geeked!

Purchased a 27 HP B&S Commercial Series 49T877-0025-G1 to replace a Vanguard 21 hp and need to find the procedure to adjust the throttle cable. Anybody have a service manual on this engine?

Anybody retrofit their 21hp or 23hp Vanguard Small Block with the Donaldson air cleaner? If so, what kind of problems did you run into?
