Kohler XT650 Spec XT650-3045 On a Husqvarna self-propelled push mower The following problem I also encountered on a Cub Cadet with B&S engine a year or so ago.. This Husqvarna lawnmower belongs to a friend that asked me to take a look at it in trade for some garden supplies.. His issue it...

Hi All.. I am Ted,, I have ran Stihl chainsaws for decades .. I now only have a Stihl FS 40C trimmer and a little Stihl MS 180 chainsaw...

For the life of me I cannot locate a parts manual for a Stihl FS 40C trimmer.. Any trails to follow will be appreciated.. I do have a owners instruction manual.

yes as I mentioned.. Wound up I had both.. Fixed the carb and still had the issue of gas in the crank case AND the issue of when running it would run smooth for a bit then start the popping and coughing and smoking.. and eventually shut down.,.. Carb was not doing that..

working fine on gravity so can't complain.

I Could but cannot convince myself that there is a need.. The gravity flow is working great.. The fuel tank is 2 gallons and at most the gravity feed will stop at less than a half inch of fuel in the tank. 50 bucks or more for a pump kit or an amazon cheapy that I have found several reviews of...

mower deck.. sorry for the confusion..

sgkent ...That was a happening.. but the gas was getting into the engine 2 ways.. one the carburetor float was not adjusted correctly and even though I put a shut of on it.. I would forget to use it.. However.. even with all fresh oil and filter after running for several minutes it would...

Combination of issues. (a 20+ year old machine .. who knew lol).. I seem to have them corrected. I ran it around the yard for 10 or 12 minutes and runs perfect.. whew.... Now got to rebuild the deck..

oops.. sorry.. Put this in the wrong forum it seems..

Ok.. I have an older Husqvarna LTH 130.. The deck is long ago shot but I use it to pull my garden trailer to haul away yard waste etc.. The machine has a Kohler engine and I will include attachments of engine specs. .. Today I was hauling brush.. Everything was going smooth.. running good when...

Just throwing this in.. I just had a similar issue with a friends older Craftsman Indy Edition mower.. Tested checked gave up.. replaced the ignition switch and all the safety switches except one which I unplugged (2 wire) seat one..It would not start or It would start and sometimes die...

Sorry this site does not tell me when I have new thread posts and I get busy and forget to look... The issue was the ratchet system in the rear wheels ..they for some reason (probably wear) will not naturally ratchet when pulling backwards even though every thing is loose and free.. I know this...

I picked up this Cub cadet for free from a yard sale.. The drive cable and starter rope were broke so I replaced both of them .. It also needed the carb cleaned out and did that and it starts and runs great... HOWEVER.. when mowing and you need to pull backwards it is a struggle.. the wheels do...

well I cannot figure it out.. it will set for days with no problem.. then go out and fuel leaking,, engine flooded with gas.. besides 2 new carbs now.. replace fuel lines twice and the fuel line from the filter to card 3 times and 3 filters, 2 of them Briggs and Stratton filters purchased from...
