I see them come in all the time with the engine so loose it looks like it could fall off any time. What do you torque them to?

Told you that was what it was. YW Glad you found the other bolts loose and got that fixed as well.

We are a Dixie Chopper dealer I will check tomorrow and see if we have one.

A bolt is meant to be used with a nut, and it is tightened by torquing the nut. A screw is designed to be used in either a preformed or threaded hole, or it is capable of forming its own threaded hole. A screw is designed to be tightened by torquing the head.They are both threaded fixings and...

Check the valve clearance. While you are at it check the compression release. Turn the engine over and watch the bottom rocker to see if it bumps off just before it reaches top dead center.

Air filters that have a screen over the paper can be oiled if done properly. Filters that do not have the screen over the paper should never be oiled.

Did you check the engine mounting bolts? If not please do.

Clean the carb.

Have a Tekton I like checked today against our digital it is spot on.

We use parts tree for parts lookup but the are really high on the price of parts. It is a good parts lookup.

can't beat that.

Medart Shows they have 7 in stock. $647.01 retail. Amazon also shows one $628.20

Did you clean the pilot jet?

The small spring mutilated and streatched to put more tension on the governor. The large one it hooked wrong. It goes inside the loop on the gov link. The small one looks like something someone got out of the spring assortment at ACE HARDWARE. Take the small one off and hook the large one...

When you set the static gov adjustment be sure you are torquing the gov arm clamp bolt to 130 inch lbs. That sounds like what happend in th first place. If the rpms are still too slow you then bend the tab where the large gov spring hooks that is part of the speed control bracket. Sounds like a...

Most engines turn around 3600 rpms and drop about 100 to 200 rpms when blades are engaged.

Hold the governor link so the engine idles if it dies it is dirt in the idle circuit of the carb.

The ign switch does not supply power to the ignition modules. In the off position it grounds the kill circuit. In the run position it opens the kill circuit and does not ground it and kill the engine.

Yes it has a fuel pump.

GTV760 0050581 I hate the way Generac does their model no.s

like ILENGINE said most of the time the bolt is not tight when they break off and turn out easily. You can try a left hand drill bit and if it hangs in the bolt it will spin it right out.

That is a lot of oil in such a short time. That engine holds 2.4 quarts of oil. If you want to save it you should check it more often. Running it below the add mark is dangerious. You are basically using half the oil in that length of time. You should do a compression test and a cylinder leak...

They are good old mowers built for them by Simplicity.

Has fire getting fuel on one cyllinder next thing could it be a bad intake manifold? Bad air leak. Or are the vlaves working?

Super Zilla is the best thing I have ever used as a penetrant.

Turn the engine backward against compression and see if it will start. That way you will have one revelotion with no compression and it will probably start. You can also take the valve cover off and turn the engine over and watch the lower rocker arm to see if it bumps off just before the piston...
