What engine does it have on it? Is it the original engine? If it is a Kohler you can look at the model serial no. if there and it will tell you when the engine was made. Mowers are usually made that year or the next. What parts do you need?

Some of the older models have it stamped into the frame where the back of the seat rest on the cross bar. There could be a strip of foam backed tape over it. It usually on the right side of the cross bar. But could be on the left side as well. If it is there invert the first two numbers and that...

Spark plugs do not produce spark they put it in the cylinder to fire the compressed air fuel mixture at the right time.

Those clips that are a pain and make the switch hard to get out. You can just take a small screw driver and break the off and the switch comes out much easier. The new switch is not just a push in. The new switch part no. 697534 has a pig tail on it that has to come off by pushing a clip and...

I have done every test to diagnose a blown head gasket on a Kohler engine. Compression test, cylinder leak down test, crank case vacuum test and none of them show it has a blown head gasket. The place where it blows is between the cylinder and the oil return passage. It is usually such a tiny...

The Amszoil filter is a 1 Micro filter and filters at a slower rate than the engine oil filter. Due to the flow rate of the filter. It is a 500 hour filter give or take depending on how often the oil is changed. When we do a sevice on these mowers we take the Amszoil filter off and drain it...

Was wondering if it might have a tip over switch on it that might be mounted wrong.

What kind of mower is this on?

It has a governed idle circuit. I find if you will speed the idle up a tad it will stop it when you idle it down.

Guys in his original post he said it is an opposed twin not a V Twin and the fuel pump is an intergerated part of the carb. So what you are saying about sliding the carb back to stop it from leaking fuel into the engine will not work. 42a707-2238-e1 is an opposed twin and does not have a bowl...

Is it fouling the plugs? It could be blown head gaskets. I have seen those engines with thousands of hours and still not use oil given reasonable maintance.

Yes it would work just fine there. Why did You not get the original switch. Do you know all the terminals are the same on the two switches. Getting the wrong switch could blow the ignition modules.

Cub Cadet 710-1314A Screw, Socket Head, 5/16-18, .750 Muffler bolts are usually listed in the IPL for the equipment

It is not in the Husqvarna owners manual or parts manual.Was able to find this. Still does give capacity but close. Place an oil drain pan with a two gallon capacity beneath the oil filter. Remove the oil filter from the pump. 2. After the oil has drained, wipe the filter base surface off and...

Broken compression release. Try turning it backwards until it comes up on compression and try starting it.

Spec and serial no.

Engine model spec and serial no. would help.

If you hit something hard enough to stop the blade and cause the belt to slip it could have burnt a flat spot on the belt.
