Make sure the air filter is clean and the choke is working properly.

EBay and Amazon both have them 49019-0031. Just make sure they are the genuine Kawasaki or Kohler 24 050 13

Thank you for your service.

Labor sounds cheap a lot of shops have a minimum labor charge of at least one hour.

49019-0031 Kawasaki 1/4 inch. Can use kohler 24 050 13 which has a stepped fitting. Both are 10 Micro filters to be used with a fuel pump engine only. Don't buy the cheap ones. Get them in all the time where people have used them. You can shake them and they will rattle meaning filter element is...

If you have good know coils leave the kill wires off the coils and see if it starts. If it starts you can turn the engine off with the switch since when you turn the key off it will deactivate the fuel shut off selonoid and kill the engine. You can then test the switch to see if it is bad and...

We just put a Briggs Vanguard 37 HP on one.

What is your shop labor rate? If you are doing a lot of warranty work no wonder! They kill you on what they pay. You can about double the time they allow you.

Item 21163-0749 is not available and will be replaced with the item below. 211630804 Don't know if it matters or not.

I have really seen worse than that. Wish I had taken the picture of the one I am working on now. Wish people would tell you what all is wrong with the mower instead of won't run and service. FW side of crank seal was leaking. Not getting fuel to the carb. fuel lines collapsed. Got running went...

Really strange. What is the part no of the starter you put on it?

Should be able to get a new engine for around $2300.00 even for a FX series engine. What kind of starter did you put on it OEM or after market. If you would always post the Engine model and spec. no and model and serial no of the mower it would make thing a lot easier to access the information...

Could be but unlikely both coils would go at the same time. Could be a fuel tank not venting. Could be restriction in the fuel supply. Have diagnose the problem. When is stops try spraying gumout carb cleaner in the carb. If it starts fuel problem if not ignition problem. Then try unpluging the...

Have you checked to see if you have stuff floating around in the tank. That could stop up the pick up tube in the tank.

Valve lash is .004 to .006 both valves

Although zinc is a metal it is also a lubricant. It is good for the valve train. It also good for the hydro's.

ADJUST VALVES1. Set No. 1 cylinder at 1/4” (6.4mm) past TDC, compression stroke.a. Adjust valves and check, Fig. 25.Valve Clearance (cold) IN and EX .005” (0.13 mm)b. Torque jam nut and adjusting screw to 60 in. lbs.(7.0 Nm).2. Set No. 2 cylinder at 1/4” (6.4mm) past TDC, compression stroke.a...

I Run 15 in the front and 8 to 10 in the rear. The less pressure you run in the rear the more tread you have on the ground and are less ap to spin. Also the less pressure the softer the ride. If you are tareing up the turf learn to make a three point turn. Seldom tare up the turf this way. The...

Does not show the engine code no or the model no of the mower.

Both.

.003 for both valves.

Try adjusting the valves.

What kind of mower is it on. Model and serial no. Engine model and code. Sounds like it is flooding. Could you have over filled the tank and it is pulling fuel through the vent system. Have seen this happen.

Bought a Country Clipper a few years ago that had a blown Kohler single Courage on it. Had a junky JD 105 I think it was that had a Briggs single on it. Had to come up with a muffler. Found a new pull off on line that worked. Mounted the engine went to hook up the wiring and it was plug and...

Worked on a JD last year that the bottom seal was leaking and there was just enough room on the engine compartment for the crank shaft to stick through. The seal could not be replaced without pulling the engine. Which in this case the engine had to be pulled any way since the botton crank shaft...

Don't you just love it when they throw parts at it and it don't fix it. LOL Diaginosing the problem is 95% of the game.

Before taking the cover off put a mark on the housing on the side of the charge pump cover that has the square end on it and install in this way when putting back together. You are saying oil is foamy. Will it pull at all? Does sound like you have the charge pump cover on wrong. Try turning it...

Have you checked the levers travel. There are stop bolts that limit the travel of the levers so you can set the tracking. The bolts are on a bracket behind the pivot point of the levers. The heads of the bolts stop the levers and have a jam nut on the back side of the bracket. Back the bolts off...

They can be the stated length plus or minus an inch and a half. As per industry standards.

Anti Surge spring

check the drive belt

Model type and code no.

After a closer look I did loose a Reliant Peach tree.

Anyone here affected by the severe weather.Here in Tn we got pummeled. No damage here on the home stead but lots in the surrounding are. Will take a long time to clean up and for the water to receed.

It will be the valve closest to the cam gear which in this case it is the exhaust valve.

Depends why it is over full. Contaminated with fuel. Can Ruin the engine. Water can ruin the engine. Check the fuel contamination with a cigarett lighter and see if the oil will burn. If not ok. If it has water oil will look milky and when check it with a lighter if will pop and fizzle.

Have you checked the engine oil to see if it might be over full?

post model no. of mower.

Did you check the terminals that plug into the switch? Have the center tabs break out and not make contact.
