Yes electric vehicles have been with us for a very long time. Not sure I agree with "...people preferred combustion engine vehicles more" There has always been a large section of the community who are only intersted in the vehicles ability to carry them from A-B - What motivates it is of no...

Start by checking your tyre pressures - The first "spring" in a wheeled vehicle/equipment, is the tyre wall flexing. Too much pressure and you reduce that flex. As a start point go with the mowers recommended minimum tyre pressure & adjust, if required, from there. :devilish:

As I understand the problem with ethanol , its not the engine as such , its all the other fuel related bits. Such as non ethanol compatible fuel delivery systems, "O" rings, diaphragms. etc With no evidence to support my position, I think the use of ethanol, as a method of redusing dependence...

Khola, Australia think the ECU is off a CV 745 (to be conformed). If correct, this is then is a 25 or 27 hp engine. Am I doing better than the Forum experts???? :cool: :devilish:

Found ECU details: Bosh: PN. FOOHMOOO10 Kohler: PN. 24 58 4 29 Serial Number: 5015298 :devilish:

Fair enough. I am not a big fan of my next suggestion, as it has negative implications; You could try additional weights/ballast or even water in the tyres (best with tubes). Added weight will increase traction but also increase fuel consumption, wear on transmission and reduce the...

Why are you cutting wet grass? Not good for the mower, ground compaction, your safety. :devilish:

Are there no external features, which distinguish one fuel injected Kohler V -Twin from another? I have read that the Bosh injectors have the part numbers etched into their side. If this is correct I may be able to find the PN. If so, did diffrent engine HP's have diffrent injectors? Do the...

Thanks Slomo, All done - confirmed starter solenoid RS. New Starter/Solenoid assembly ordered. Dont know where "DB Electric" is located - I am in NSW, Australia "Fuel injectors are blue. Wondering if this may give a clue as to the hp???" The above was the main question - still just guessing...

Someone out there have answers for me?? :devilish:

It depends on how much of a gambler you are. I weight up (as best I can) the pro's/cons's of the purchase; You can take a greater risk if its your own machine, compared with a paying customers. Part failure - could this cause damage/increased cost? Do you have access to an alternative machine...

Progress of a sought - With all fuses, key, deck clutch & relays disconnected, I have a slight electrical short - suggestions welcome. Could do with the wiring diagram, as much of the electrical system relates to the fuel injection system, so diffrent to my carburettor Kwaka, that I have the...

Dont know your mower but if its a; Manual gearbox your drive belt may be slipping. Warn belt, loose idler, engagement system warn/loose Hydrostatic - as above, idler pulley loose/broken spring and/or the transaxle may need a refurbishment. :devilish:

Almost any device/system that separates material can be described as a filter. Just because one is course and another fine, does not change this. Some gauze filters (screens) will separate down to 50 micron or better. Not all "paper" /media style will go this low, many will go lower . The...

In some applicators the advice is to replace "rubber" hoses at 5 year intervals. In my view this is a little over the top UNLESS SAFETY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION, then go 5 years Max. Silicon hoses will usually outlast "rubber" but cost a lot more. Rubber hoses, in non safety situations (ie...
