    Jb weld extreme heat paste

    Rated for 1000 F. Come on advertising. Just like AL, any patch matrix will lose half of its strength well before it ever gets to that temp. Take it off and find someone who will TIG weld it back up.

    Next time use the hot melt wire staples used in the auto repair biz. Stitch it up with those.

    But damn hard to do on thin section metals. Rethink.

    Jb weld extreme heat paste

    Whatever they were, weren't welds. Oxy/acetylene weld temp 3500 C. Electric arc 4000 C. Might have been furnace brazed but wasn't welded. But kinda doubt that as well. Oxy/hydrogen would get you down to 1750 C but don't see that happening either. Here would be melted AL pistons at anything above...

    42" Murray idle air screw adjustment?

    You guys....🙄. If it is a mixture screw, in will lean the mixture, out enrichens. If it is an air bleed screw, in enrichens, out leans. Turn it out 3 turns and start the mower. This is for idle only as the main jet controls the fast idle mixture. Set throttle to idle. Turn screw in....if it...

    Better, more robust deck spindle?

    One pound of grease sitting in a cavity that will never, ever lubricate one damn thing. And odds are the friggin bearings are 2RS and zero grease will ever get to them anyway.

    The big disconnect. SEPERATE MACHINE AND ENGINE INFORMATION IS NEEDED! We are not mind readers

    But there are those seeking help who are easily distracted by shiny things, who know nothing of mechanics or the operation of mechanisms. They just don't. There's a post this week by a guy who has become obsessed with the shape of a fuel filter. Shape. Not function, not direction of flow....just...

    Blade drive/clutch question

    Swing-back / Pivoting Blade Systems (most relevant match): MEG-MO blades: These use a central disc with short pivoting knives/tips that swing away from obstacles like rocks or debris. They are marketed to prevent bent blades and spindle damage. They work on various mower types (including...

    PTO bogs motor down when engaged. I need help.

    Ensure you have the correct coil for the replacement side.....there is a left and a separately numbered right. They are not interchangeable: The left and right coils are cylinder-specific. Swapping them can cause issues like no spark, weak spark, or misfiring on one or both cylinders. Service...

    PTO bogs motor down when engaged. I need help.

    Bad Boy does the same....almost. Before fully warming up must use choke briefly. Full throttle to engage blades. I have a soft start on the blade clutch that really eases the clutch into full engagement. If you engage at less than full....yes it bogs down.

    Kawasaki fr691v help

    Didn't run a compression test did ya. Not the "does it have compression" test but a differential test to determine where the oil is coming from. Could be a broken ring, worn cylinder, both, valve seals, etc.

    briggs fuel pump issue

    Nice build. Just about any small fuel pump these days will work fine. You may also need a pressure regulator to drop the pressure to 1 psi as most are above that by 1.5 psi or higher. These inline pumps are all pretty much the same design. Check to see if they have check valves or anti siphon...

    How will the new 15% ethanol gasoline affect our Craftsman mowers and lawn tractors?

    Looks like you have a rubberized version. Yes, rubber and alcohol are not compatible. Have you ever looked for an acetate or Teflon diaphragm? There are kits available and depends on how old the engine is and which diaphragm you're talking about. Official B&S: Shop.briggsandstratton.com for OEM...

    If you use Firefox you can download each part to a PDF then use the Accessibility settings to increase font size. Actually, you can increase font size without download to a PDF....don't know about other browsers but suspect they may have the same capability. Good for you. Most don't want to...

    How will the new 15% ethanol gasoline affect our Craftsman mowers and lawn tractors?

    Nope....not even close. The latent heat of evaporation from ethanol actually cools the intake charge and engines run cooler because of that fact. Run an engine on methanol....huge increase in latent heat of evaporation. The cylinder will feel cold to the touch when running.

    http://www.faqs.org/faqs/autos/gasoline-faq/part1/ Try this....a long read. You haven't had trouble with your equipment because all the rubber parts were switched over to Buna-n round 1980.

    How will the new 15% ethanol gasoline affect our Craftsman mowers and lawn tractors?

    Don't know anything about fuels do ya. E85 is 85% ethanol. It would run fine on 85% ethanol IF The jets were properly sized. They're not hence the choke. E85 runs way richer than E0 or E10 or E15. Why? Ethanol has 26.68 MegaJoules per kilogram, gasoline has 42 to 44 MJ. Takes a lot more ethanol...

    Bearing substitution.....as in same manufacturer and same specs? No mower manufacturer makes their own bearings. So whatever the mower manufacturer uses is the mower manufacturers fault. Even the US manufacturers are sourcing some of their bearings from China. They just happen to show up in a...
