@slomo and @bertsmobile1, Thanks for your troubleshooting suggestions. Much to my everlasting shame and disgrace, <grin> I think the answer may have been as simple as low oil. He checked it, found it to be at the bottom of the dipstick and oil has been added. He, or his wife, will probably mow...

Thanks bertsmobile! Cooling Shroud fouling and oil level may be leading contenders. I think he's going to bring his Hustler here on Saturday, so, we'll check things out and report back. Son, are you reading these?! <grin> John

Hi Andercomm, It looks like you have not gotten an answer yet. I've just gone through this with my 52" Raptor LTD and am currently returning Hustler Heat Shield #120564. It's for the Raptor SD. The part for mine is #120562. Just got off the phone with Excel Industries and talked to Andrea for...

Thanks slomo! You've given us several avenues to pursue. Sent the link for this thread to my son, so he has probably read most of this. We'll probably end up working on it together. Cheers! John

Thanks slomo! I must admit that a bad coil did come to mind, but it didn't make sense that it would continue running when hot, but not restart. I'll get my spark plug checker to my son this weekend. The cooling shroud cleaning is also a good check, as I know that has not been done. Thanks! John

Back with my son's 48" Hustler Sport Model #93022 with the Kawasaki FR600V Engine. Most recent work was replacement of the starter solenoid, as it would not engage during starting. Since then, it's been working fine, until recently. . . When shut down 'hot' it will not restart. Starter engages...

My Hustler Sport 48" Model #930222 has been a dependable mower, which my son is now mowing with. Thought I was 'moving up' going to a Raptor LTD 52"; the Sport seems heavier duty and I think my son got the better deal! :laughing: The problem we're having is the the starter failed. Had it tested...

I like my 7351 and have started keeping my eye out for another similar mower. May have found one at a local junk store. He had multiple mowers, two Lawn Boys, one I'm interested. It's a 10401, 2-Cycle. The poor mower is filthy, has some compression, no idea if it runs. Saw it on my way home from...

Wal-Mart is trying to compete with Amazon and has an amazing variety. Those prices I was looking at? Free shipping. Turns out I could have saved a dollar on the float; about the same on the rebuild kit. Got the carburetor cleaned out nicely and new parts installed. Interestingly, I did not find...

HYBRID Murray 22" Easy Mulcher 4.0 HP Quatro - Pictures So, the reason this caught my eye as I went by, was the green deck. Then I see Murray/Quattro B&S powering it. Did not occur to me that someone may have taken an old 2-cycle engine out of the LB and dropped in a used 4-cycle engine! Silly...

The local guy that always has something out for sale has a Murray 22" Easy Mulcher Push Mower with 4.0 HP Quatro Throttle-Free Design. It caught my eye since the deck was painted Lawn Boy Green and am kind of watching for another 2-Cycle LB and saw this. Looks to be 4-Cycle. Is it worth messing...

Good Afternoon Primerbul120, Thanks for the reply and you are absolutely correct! I went ahead and decided to pull this thing apart. I had just been working on my Stihl 025 and had that carb type in mind. It had been awhile since I had the Lawn Boy Carb apart the last time, so I was SURE it...

I'm interested in getting the best setting for my 'H' screw on my Stihl chainsaw, keeping within the 12,500 Max RPM limit for my saw. Does anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive, non-contact tachometer? I've seen them used in YouTube Videos; having no luck searching for anything that...

I have my old Lawn Boy 7351, Model Year 1986 (Beginning Serial #E00000001 & Ending Serial #E99999999) that is running poorly. It's hard to start and once running, is almost impossible to restart. Some time back I found a rebuild kit for the carburetor. That year should be a 684352 Carburetor...

Good Morning Lawn Boy-ers! :smile: I have a line on a Lawn Boy Dura-Force SilverPro 6.3 HP that looks to be in fair condition. Has been replaced by an upgrade, needs some minor repair. Asking $40 and I'm going to be in his area tomorrow. Calling to see if it's still available. Is this a...
