assuming all fuel tank and lines clear and spotless giving good delivery, governor or maybe air leak?

test the tester on another device. always verify your test instruments. good luck

bring into warm garage, charge 3 times during winter and before fit=rst use in spring. 5 years for this type of battery is a god send with bad maintenance and freezing in winter.

I CHECK the OIL LEVEL BEFORE EVERY START. prevent this thread.

Here in NJ I have seen large electric riding mowers (both kinds) getting sold dirt cheap. People don't like tham, and after 3 years you are into $1-2K for new batteries. They do not sell for a very good reason. That all said, I have a 50x100 postage lot at my house and use an electic push...

yes, oil freshness is most important. since you use less than 2 quarts per change i believe, change depending on usage. Small single lawns, once a season at end. Pro shop where it is running 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, then monthly at worst, preferable 2-3 weeks usage. oil and change.

The above tach is NOT for lawn mowers. It is for igniion cars,I remember these from the 7-'s and 80's.

credit card refuse to pay. period.

I do NOT use a tender on smaller batteries. I remove, clean posts for next spring, fully charge, tag it with date and charge and keep in warm house. recharge after 2 months. In spring, fully charge, install and go. Most important is full charge when bringing into warm house in fall. PS I...

I agree, fuel valve as close to carb as reasonable. let it run dry. have a cvlean and empty carb which does not plug up.

test test test. I understand frustration, but what you have bought/replaced could have been tested and not replaced. You can bypass some items in the circuit to prove they are/are not the problem. Verify that the "arms" safety switches have not failed. These go bad at times due to harsh use...

rust on inside of rim where seats. Like all others submergs completely and place a weight on it. bubble will show. If rust, take off, sand clean and try mounting it again.

I would after 30 minutes or 1 cutting. then at 1 hour for 2 changes. I agree look at oil until silver is gone when draining. I do this when breaking in a new generator. Once done, I put it away full of clean oil, no gas, ready to run 20+ hours when needed. To NOT break in a lawnmower or...

remove plug, does it spin. do valves go up and down when turning over engine?

innertube??? also clean all rust before inserting.
