That model mower was manufactured for 4 years and depending on which year you have it may be a Briggs or Kohler engine. Please provide us with all engine numbers so we know what you are working on.

Sorry I’m too stupid to realize you want to permanently attach a hose, with a 90 degree bend to a Tillotson carb. I have never seen a hose permanently attached to these carbs, so I assumed that you were talking about the breather hose mounted on the breather cover and sometimes goes to the...

You have been around this forum long enough to know that we need more information than you have supplied. Model and spec number of the Tecumseh engine? Where is this hose attached, carb or valve breather plate? Time to step it up.

In today’s market you get what you pay for. Recommending anything less that $3500 is a crap shoot, as unless you have a flat and smooth lawn you are talking about a unit that will last maybe 10 years. That is why the experienced techs don’t like to recommend any of these brands. Quality of...

Can’t open photos unless you have google photos, which I don’t. Can you post them a different way?

Knowing how to properly use a good analog meter is better than using a cheap digital meter. Cheap analog meters aren’t worth their cost. Your engine needs a battery with a minimum of 350 CCA, anything smaller could be part of the problem. Bad connections through the safety switches in the...

Spindle assembly MTD part #917-0913, is available, just need to do a google search. Might try this site for the two pulleys. Definitely worth a phone call. https://www.partselect.com/PS9119216-MTD-756-0520-Pulley-5-0-34-Dia.htm?srsltid=AfmBOooxyw4W_TjgahcmTtEoL-7v711Q89LL1RXJlAXL6sejUoVvYO07

First thing to check are battery cable connections, both on the battery and solenoid, plus negative chassis ground. Make sure each one is clean and tight, especially the negative to chassis, which likes to come loose and get dirty. After you know they are all good, as stated, check battery...

Seeing that you don’t supply us with a model number, I suspect you have a model D engine. I agree,probably a fuel issue. Here is a manual which may help you out. https://lookup3.toro.com/ttcGateway/acrobat/manuals/lball.html

Found this on the internet which is always 100% accurate. Key Milestones in Electric Lawn Mower Development 1920s-1930s: The first electric mowers began appearing on the market, primarily as corded models. 1950s: Advancements in electric motor technology made them more powerful and efficient...

It may be in the manual, but why take a chance on voiding the warranty? We have a dealer in this area which will do anything to pass the cost of almost everything, because his labor rate is higher than what warranty will pay. I’ve done more than one rework when the customer didn’t like what he...

If it is new, DON’T TOUCH IT. This should have been adjusted properly by the dealer. You messing with it can void your warranty. Back to the dealer and have him adjust both the steering arms and creep. A dealer who doesn’t do proper setup will probably try to say you caused the problem.

Looks like this poster just deleted his original post and other reply, so there is no reason for this thread to be open. Must have had a problem with the replies, as now now of them make any sense. Lock her up Scrub.

Or it could be that the float needle is stuck open and the crankcase is now filled with gas. Pull the dipstick and check to see if it is above the full mark and smells like gas. Also, remove the spark plug, ground the plug wire, put a rag in front of the spark plug hole And turn the engine...

I suspect that the linkages are not hooked up correctly. This manual should help you double check your assemblies. https://mymowerparts.com/pdf/Kohler-Service-and-Repair-Manuals/Kohler-Service-Repair-Manual-Command-CV17-CV18-CV20-CV22-CV25-CV22-CV23-CV26.pdf

Without the engine numbers I’m assuming you have a Briggs engine with the primer bulb mounted in the air filter base. Most times the base will warp where it mounts to the carb, allowing the primer to leak. Two ways I’ve fixed this problem. Instead of one gasket between the base and carb body...

Simple test before throwing time and money at this engine. Before opening the engine hook a VOLT meer across the battery and watch the voltage when trying to start the engine. If the battery voltage drops below 10 VDC when the engine stops turning, your battery needs to be replaced.

Please post the model, type and code number from the engine. Also post the part number for the new coil you purchased. It would not be the first time I’ve seen DIY guys get the wrong parts. With the numbers we can check which coil you need.

If used properly, I’ve found that leaf blowers definitely have a place in lawn maintenance, especially as you get older. Raking at my age, mid70’s, is too hard on my body and the blower makes it much easier to clean up my lawn.

Hey Doc, do you realize that this thread is over a year old?

Boy you are smart Scrub.

I tried!

I would agree with Star, bad battery. An internal shift solenoid needs a minimum of 11VDC to kick in and hold the bendix gear in place. Other cause would be that the internal solenoid contacts are corroded, which mean taking the starter apart.

For setting the diaphragm needle on two cycle and some four cycle diaphragm carbs. New style on page 31 of this manual. https://www.miniplane-usa.com/pdf/WalbroServiceManual.pdf Or google search this, 2 cycle carburetor needle adjustment tool

Type this into your search engine and I’ll bet you’ll find the answer to all your questions. how do briggs ignition systems work diagram

Thank you

Star, would you share where you found that part number? I looked for over 40 minutes and could not find the number for the older carb. Thank you.

We’ll probably never know!

Who are you thanking and what are you thanking us for?

That’s not the full model number. I also see you’ve posted three threads about the same issue, that’s a NO NO. If your model number is 917276683. I think think the part number is 586478501. Recheck your model number.

I’m assuming you are referring to the drive pulley. We are going to need the model and serial numbers, normally located under the seat. The experienced techs on this forum hate making guesses

I’m not bad mouthing TORO, just the Super Recycler version.

Sounds like you have an intermittent short in a component or wiring harness. This is going to take some patient electrical troubleshooting with both a VOM and test light. If you feel that you can do this, please provide us with the model and serial numbers and we will try to find you an...

Stop everything. Do not try to fix even the most simplest thing. Voiding the warranty at this point could be the dumbest decision you could ever do.

That number you posted is for Australia, might want to try the number for Wauwatosa

Guess you’ve never read my previous replies to what is the best push mower to purchase. I used to say that even the cost of the Toro Super Recycler was high, it was a 20 year mower and worth paying the higher price. I no longer can say that. Honda used to make a quality mower, but they have...

While we were talking the one thing that really surprised me was when the owner said that Toro support was very poor on these mowers. I started dealing with Toro in 1980 and never really had any problem dealing with them, but nonsupport in my mind means I can no longer recommend them. They...

To all who have followed this forum for a long time, you will know that I have been a strong supporter of the Toro 21” Super Recycler cast deck mower. I am now changing my mind and can no longer do so. Over the Labor Day weekend I went to the local county fair and was talking to the owner of...

Try this site. https://www.briggsandstratton.com/au/en_au/support.html The date code should be listed in the same area as the model and type code

What gave me the impression you thought it was a piece of junk??? 1. My cheap neighbor 2. Bought at a pawn shop for $20 3. Condition questionable 4. Leaks fuel 5. Won’t crank, hydro lock, piston or rod seized, 6. No cover, no filter 7. Now you add that all you’ve done is just pulled...

Boy you’re making a lot of fuss on a piece of equipment that’s leaking fuel!!! Maybe if you would spend a little time telling us where it’s leaking and what you’ve done to solve the problem we might be able to help you out. Is it leaking at the tank? Is the crankcase filling with fuel? Is...

Best advice I can give you is to take the engine numbers to a Scag dealer and see if they can back check which models use that engine. Or contact Scag directly.

I’ve been servicing mowers for 50 years and Craftsman is a mower I would never recommend. A steel deck mower will never last 20 years, unless it spends 80% of its life in the shed. Craftsman parts are getting to be harder to get, as you don’t know who is manufacturing the mowers, Husqvarna and...

All depends what the type of use, keeping the deck top and bottom clean, checking all pulleys, etc. Most manufacturers recommend changing every three to five years. At eight years old I would recommend changing yours.

Verify that the guide has moved before replacing the head. As I stated the guide does protrude above the head base. A good repair shop should be able to help you.

Two different starters were used on that model engine, depending on the manufacturing date. I suggest you do one of two things. Go to an authorized Briggs service dealer and have them contact their distributor for the correct part number or contact Briggs directly through their website. Make...

Sgkent, that is the vent as Star stated, not fuel inlet. Fuel will also leak out the fuel vent if the gasket between the carb body and base is compromised.

This manual may help you out. Valve guides are above the head body. https://www.hunterlomison.com/pdfs/0C8221.pdf

Lawn boy parts number 100-2948.

Working in a trade school I had access to many different types of materials. Metal formed very easily, but the environment of a shop got banged around leaving openings around the filter which would leak. Plastic solved that problem and as I said reduced the number of times hands and wrist were...
