Hey berts. Thanks. I will check this seat switch and parking brake ordeal tomorrow ILENGINE, I have yet to check out the reverse safety ASSY but will do. I value your theory and thought process Mr Seat Switch is a 4-pin configuration which is new to me. Lots of safety switches on these...

Hey Hammer I hear ya. There is something wrong with the deck which I noticed only today during further inspection. 3/4's of the spacer washer that secures the idler pulley is broken off at the head and causes the ASSY to ride high and probably unstable - Mr Idler wobbles like a(n) SOB. I will...

Hi MM Good idea. Will check these points tomorrow Ken

Hi Hammer Deck installed, started engine, engaged PTO, engine dies PTO engages fine with belt removed Strange though, with PTO engaged and spinning and no belt, I am able to travel in reverse w/o using the override The spindles spin freely I confirmed the belt configuration / routing to be...

Hiya GearHead. Yes I have. All three rotate without interruption and the belt is in great condition. The mower has only ~50 hours which is pretty low all together and this is a 2015 model. The thing is in like new condition

Thanks evh. I have checked and both are firing. My next step is to inspect this mow in reverse linkage behind the left rear wheel

Hi Bertrrr, it's an electric PTO. Will check that out

Hello All Model: XT1 M/N: 13WQA1CQ009 DOM: 03/2015 S/N: 1C125H20445 Engine: Kohler 7000 Series 24hp Cub XT1 50" Shuts Down when PTO is Engaged. It doesn't sputter or anything; the engine just shuts off quick With Deck removed (no load), the PTO engages just fine. This tractor has just 50...

Scrub, yes. Solid meaning they have pull, and there are three magnets as I realized yesterday upon tear-down of the machine

Hello All Stihl This BR-400 is all OEM except for an aftermarket Carb FYI. The unit is probably 15-20 years old and is in great overall condition ISSUE# 1 It appears to be running lean based on the white-ish flavor on the plug after a full-throttle run through the yard. Also, after 15...

Regurgitating this thread. New coil (3rd one including the ORIG OEM), still no spark. Really weird. In the case that it is/was the plug, I did try a CJ8 in-place with each coil. Nothing, nada - Whit's end. Please share anything else I should be checking. I disconnected the kill wire by the...

Hey Del I am going through the very same problem by the way. I think that is why I am truly interested in yours 2-cycle Echo PB-403T backpack blower OEM coil - no spark Aftermark coil - no spark Is this even possible. I've ordered another coil from a different MFR. We will see

Yea, sorry. I think I misunderstood the full context of your initial posting. So see pic. You're doing this, right? Just making sure b/c I don't want to misunderstand yet again LOL

Hi Del. You should be touching the spark plug's electrode to the engine block or something grounded to see spark. That's the way to check spark. I think you do you fire

Hi 7394. Yes, base touching the head. The pic is just to show the machine. Got to be bad coils

Strange. I took care of both these possible issues. Gapped with card and disconnected the kill wire. I am thinking bad second (aftermarket) coil. I am going to exchange it for a replacement. Thank you Joed, Scrubcadet (a Taryl reference - Nice touch) and AMZ

Hello All Echo PB-403T Back Pack Blower no spark issue Now has a new (aftermarket) coil, I've changed the plug and the flywheel magnets appear solid. Still no fire. Two bad coils, ORIG OEM and aftermarket product? I welcome any good words Ken

Hi All Apparently I 'allowed' a connector from the Stator touch ground on an Onan P220 during a bench start. It fried the rubber/plastic off the connector that puts out AC. So, new Stator, or is it possible that I instead or also destroyed the Voltage Regulator? Maybe the coil is done? I...

Hey Semi Re: but then stops Does it start and run for just a bit or doesn't actually start at all? The T110 is a very newer mower I believe. $2000 at Lowe's? (a quick google). Adjusted the valves: You've gone far so far

Hi PTmowerMech That video was awesome. And who doesn't love Taryl?!?! Tell me one But in referencing the video, I believe this has *always* been a part of the game, and of which we are and were all a part, even in some small way each of us. Awesome post PT guy
