In 2005 - 06 there were spindles made in So. America. They were metric had set screws in the top disc on the side of the disc and the disc would screw off and on and the bearing consisted of an inner and outer bearing race and the seal was separate from the bearing. My 2006 has them. All of the...

I Usually go to the local O'Reillys for belts (use the better warranty belts), fuel filters, spark plugs and misc. nuts and bolts. Order filters, switches, oil, grease tubes, idler pulleys, from Amazon or Ebay. Had to buy blade hub parts from local bearing suppliers since these were metric and...

I can crank and start the mower and keep it running with parts cleaner / starter spray. I did get it running and it lasted about 30 to 45 minutes cutting grass and then it stopped again. I was able to get it to run enough to get it back to the shed. Checked the fuel pump and it pumps fuel to the...

To Randyj and hlw49 Getting fuel to carb. Primer bulb? Is that integrated into the pump on the side of the engine. Jumped the the seat switch and no joy there. How do you know which mercury switch it is and is it supposed to lay flat or straight up. Got more than one or at least they look the...

Replaced ignition switch and fuel filter. Ignition switch had dirt in the key hole (dirt dabber), replaced fuel filter and rechecked fuel to pump and carburetor, all ok. Jumped seat switch no joy. Still testing other switches but thought I might get suggestions to follow.

If the electric clutch switch is not on the blades should not turn at all. Either the clutch needs changing or there is some kind of debris that is interfering with the pump pulley and the belt pulley.

There has to be something wrong with the clutch. That pulley should not turn if the switch is off. Something is causing the pulley to Turn when when the clutch is turned off. Could be debris of some form.

If you can find a automotive battery they usually have a longer warranty. 18 month free replacement at O'Reilly. Prorated after that.

Pull the spark plug and see if turns over then. Do not look in the plug hole when you turn on the switch might be fuel or what ever in there.

I have a 2006 - 2550 Silver Eagle with the same set up for the spindles! DC contracted a company in South America, I think Venezuela, to fill a shortage of spindles when these machines were made. To bad they didn't share that information with the owners of those machines. There are metric...
