    Cam shaft from Amazon

    Latest on the backordered 84005207 camshafts is my backordered camshafts are shipping today. So it looks like they are coming about 6 months before expected.

    Shift Linkage Info Needed

    Appears to be item 93 on the ground drive diagram. Part number 197295 which is NLA and was superceded to 583237701 which is also NLA.

    Small Fuel line hooks where?

    Most likely to the air cleaner housing. The location of the corresponding nipple can vary with engine manufacturer

    "Red Max" Engine Issue

    I have come across some trimmers that say to let it idle for a minute before using in the starting instructions.

    Cub Cadet knocks/pings when engaging blades

    Make sure the four engine mounting bolts are tight. Doesn't take much to allow the engine to move on the frame. A sixteenth of a turn can sometimes be the difference between tight and loose.

    2004 Scag TT- Rebuild or replace hydro pumps?

    Would be cheaper to rebuild, but everything needs to be cleaned and then cleaned about 3 more times. There isn't much to rebuilding a pump, replace the worn parts, and anything that appears to be worn should be replaced. Also the rest of the system will need to be flushed more than once...

    "Red Max" Engine Issue

    Sounds like the newer emissions compliant 2 cycle engines. the slow warmup before allowing throttle is typical, May be able to adjust the carb if adjustable to alleviate some of that.

    Mower engine acts like it often does not get gas

    Two things come to mind outside of carb issues. One the tank may not be venting properly causing a vacuum inside the tank, and two, something obstructing the fuel line causing slow fuel flow from the tank to the carb.

    Help finding a Governor Gear

    currently waiting on the 793338 gear myself after getting a rider with a failed gear a couple of days ago.

    what the reason cant mount snowblower on a 2015 XT2 lx50

    Most likely because the frame won't support the weight.. Several cases of frames bending just behind the axle on various mowers out there.

    engine surging

    It can but we are talking about trying to idle an engine at 1200 that normally idles at 1700 So I doubt that is the issue. On rare occasion you can get a governor surge, but I have only seen it 2-3 times in almost 25 years, and one of those I caused. If the issue is carb released the surges...

    engine surging

    most common cause is a obstructed or partially obstructed idle circuit in the carb. Normally fixed with complete disassembly, a thorough cleaning and installation of a carb repair kit.

    Help finding a Governor Gear

    The reason you are having issues finding it is because the only Briggs distributor in the US is showing it out of stock until at least after Christmas.

    I have a B&S 21hp Intek 407577 hard cranking

    Could be just a junk starter, but could also be caused by the magnets coming loose from inside of the flywheel.

    Replacement engine

    Lets start with the model number of the junk engine so we have something to base our options on.

    Clunk sound when trying to start

    I would start by putting hands on the flywheel and make sure it will turn a complete revolution. That description hints of a seized or hydrolocked engine.

    Poulan Pro 442 Backpack Blower Carburetor

    @StarTech I have used the Walbro carb cleaner and can confirm that it is not rubber safe. It will swell the check valves. Seems to be less harsh on the carb than the normal off the shelf carb and choke cleaners but is not fool proof. And most tank filters are around 150 micron whereas the...

    Poulan Pro 442 Backpack Blower Carburetor

    HDA-138A is the carb model number. Not seeing any of that carb in stock at my normal suppliers. Calls for the K12-HDA carb repair kit.

    Poulan Pro 442 Backpack Blower Carburetor

    I grabbed a couple part numbers from the carb diagram and they showed HOP numbers but also showed NLA.

    Poulan Pro 442 Backpack Blower Carburetor

    I think that is the first diagram that I have found that doesn't give the part number for the complete carb. Only individual parts. Anyway.. On Walbro the model number of the carb will be etched into the upper left corner of the carb cube. On one side or the other It may start with WT...

    How much fuel in fuel filter?

    Because the remaining space is actually gas vapor. And the filter acts like an expansion chamber for the fuel. And the filter media acts like a wick.

    Black & Decker 24 v battery

    Totally agree. When you have to do warranty refunds or exchanges on complete units because the battery is NLA 3 months into a 3 year warranty I don't give them much hope.

    pushed mower without pulling pin back

    Most likely not hurt. May need to do the air purge procedure. Jack up the rear wheels, pull the bypass, start the engine and run on idle and move the direction control slowly back and forth several times. Then engage the drive and do the same back and forth with the direction control. by this...

    Brake Pedal Pulsing/Bouncing Drive Belt Shredded

    I would look at the idler pulleys to make sure they turn freely, don't have something stuck in the groove, and also replace the belt at the same time.

    Tecumseh 13.5 model OHV130 year about 1999 oil checking

    Tecumseh are checked with the dipstick sitting on top of the threads. Briggs is about the only one that you screw down the dipstick to check oil level.

    My Husqvarna works fine until I stop or disengage the blades.

    Depending on the type of electric pto clutch it would be out of adjustment. If the clutch is triangle shaped with a stud, spring and nut on each corner than I would try adjusting the air gap. Next to each spring there will be a slot to insert a feeler gauge. You wand to insert a .012-.016...

    Kohler command p0337/ sputtering after 15 secs of running

    code 0337 should be no signal from crank position sensor. If the sensor isn't reading it won't fire or activate the fuel injectors. therefore no start. Intermittent reading will cause misfires and poor running.
  35. I

    X370 PTO Clutch failure?

    I suspect from your symptoms that the bearing in the belt pulley on the electric clutch is failing and seizing which would cause serious heat and will cause the blades to turn without being engaged I suspect that the heating burning smell and vibration would disappear if you engage the blades.

    Blade Holder Removal

    Should be righty tighty lefty loosey. The blade holder would naturally tighten itself on the shaft while mowing.

    Push Mower Timing

    Here is my crack at it. the blade gives additional momentum to the lightweight flywheel but doesn't directly effect engine timing. What normally happens is the blade hits a solid object that causes the blade holder to shift, but that sudden stop that shifted the blade holder also causes the...

    Cannot find voltage regulator

    Faulty diode can cause battery drain as well as prevent charging.
  41. I

    Cannot find voltage regulator

    Could be the battery itself, but the battery will discharge while being used due to the fuel solenoid on the carb. So that could run the battery down while using. Can also charge the battery and then disconnect the ground wire from the battery and see if it still goes dead. Dead battery...

    Cannot find voltage regulator

    No reading either way wouldn't drain the batter but would prevent charging. And the headlights are AC because they use alternating current directly from the stator.

    Cannot find voltage regulator

    With the dual circuit charging system. You should have a red and a black wire with a white connector next to the starter. The red wire will have a shrink tube with a bump in it. that is the diode. You can pierce the wire above the diode with a ohm meter probe and the other probe to the...

    Cannot find voltage regulator

    A picture of the wires coming out from under the flywheel would help us determine which charging system you have. But assuming the 3/5 charging system. The battery is prevented from draining by a diode in the wire coming from under the flywheel that charges the battery. It also acts as a half...

    Cannot find voltage regulator

    The 170808 doesn't mean anything past being a husqvarna part number. We will need the actual model number from the engine which should be located on the OHV cover opposite the fuel pump. And if your mower doesn't have an electric pto clutch it may not have a regulator. It could be the 3...

    @PeterJones That is the replacement sequence in a nutshell.

    Unless the engine is EFI with a computer the run hours are stored in the hour meter and will be lost with its replacement.

    Blade thin mulch lift tearing

    Had a customer that lived on a river bluff years ago and had a high sand content in his yard. He would go through 3 sets of blades a year because of similar issues to your blades, and over a 4 year period it actually cut the bottom 1-1/2 off of the deck skirt.

    Champion XC12YC - NGK Equivalent

    This was from a OEM parts supplier that didn't have the BPR4ES in stock and auto subbed to the Champion equivalent. There was period a few years back that briggs was using that special .020 gap plug that I was changing one under warranty about every week. That plug would quit right in the...

    GX270- QAG2 GCAJT

    One of my rules is never trust a spark plug. Have had weird things on Honda engines with spark plugs. Not only their general engines but also their ATV and SxS engines. General purpose engines will start and die or run for up to 5 minutes and then die. The ATV plugs will fire from the...
