This is what happens when you get older.

Here's another guy whose eyes just glazed over.....DC? Voltage? Regurgitator?

He should immediately go to the nearest Learing Center...

Bought a gas powered 4 stroke edger for $5.....guy said it wouldn't cut any more. The blade was 3 inches shorter than the normal blade on each side, wouldn't start because the primer bulb was cracked and you couldn't prime it. All of $4.50 to fix. Starts second pull every time with ten shots of...

Nothing wrong with that. Still $200 either way. Didn't come with a warranty either......

If you ever do decide to R&R the starter.....the brush springs are fiddly and you want to be under a sheet on a solid floor. They will fly several yards. The sheet resticts where they go. Ask me how I know 😁. Had one that bounced off the 10 foot ceiling *tunk* and landed somewhere with a...

Did you just hook it up to see if the bendix operates and motor turns or did you actually disassemble, clean commutator (after 20 years it probably needs attention), and lube the bearings (most likely oillite) and check windings. Not directly related to your parasitic issue tho....

BB parts are becoming worse than crap. Anything to save a few cents. SKF, Schaeffler, Timken, NSK, NTN, JTEKT, MinebeaMitsumi, NACHI-FUJIKOSHI, ZWZ, and LYC. Any of these manufacturers will have quality products. As for the Chinee stuff...they often come with very sparse lubrication If they are...

About that lack of filter. "The 422707 series uses full-pressure lubrication. Oil-filter adapters (and remote/cooler options) appear in parts diagrams for type 1263-01 as available components, not as standard equipment on every unit. Some engines left the factory without the filter/adapter...

Have you verified no trash in the tank blocking fuel supply or tank vent not venting....

Looking at your tank placement the fuel supply comes out of the top of the tank which means the pump has to pull the fuel all the way from the bottom....and it appears to be a significant distance. Two solutions....new vacuum pulse fuel pump and see if that helps or a 12v solid state fuel pump...

AI confirmation To install the governor shaft seal (OEM part 692407) on a Briggs & Stratton 195707 Spec 0468-E1 (or similar horizontal-shaft single-cylinder models), the seal goes in from the outside into a recessed area behind the governor arm/lever. Some of these engines left the factory...

I asked because I knew, not because I didn't.

The old "ethanol" trope.

Parts cannon.

Any good belt supplier/stockist has a belt measuring "stick". Ask them if they have one before you go. Take off the old belt and they can supply a suitable replacement.

A "single lock washer".......the Belleville or are you talking about a split lock washer?

That and the fact that without the adapter the bolt was probably bottomed in the crank hole and the clutch wasn't contacting the shaft face. Any torque applied to the bolt only torqued the bolt...and I'd be suspicious of the bolt from here on out.

Kinda don't think you need 120psi since the gauges only go to 100 psi. 50 psi will do as you are measuring the relative sealing ability of valves and rings......

Yeah....I had a KTM 250 XCW that went to 220 but the head was shaved 40 thousandths and the cylinder trued 5 thousandths and that necessitated using premium to keep from detonating.

Effective compression ratios of piston port two strokes are typically much lower than an equivalent four stroke of the same bore/stroke so there is no apples to apples comparison. Typically two strokes are anywhere from 5:1 to 7.5:1.

Precisely. There is a thing as too much lubrication. Are the balls supposed to skid or roll. I'll take roll every time. Too much creates a hydrodynamic wedge of lubricant just ahead of the ball and with nowhere else to go the lubricant makes the ball, with whatever tolerance is left to the ball...

No. Float No. Float/Needle just regulates flow depending on the fuel pressure. If pressure is too high it overpowers the Float/Needle. 1 psi is enough. Little electronic pumps can run continuously.

Differential tester....

1-877-473-6767, dial #2 to reach NGK support. You send them images of a suspect fake plug and they confirm whether it is or not. Champion may have the same service. Fake Chinee plugs are a real thing.....

Mentioned not to induce doubt but perhaps a search for those who have done the replacement and reported different results. Also in the world of engineering, it's a mower and not an airplane or a car or truck whipping down the road with 80 tons with something about to happen. My guess is it's fine.

Untill it draws a vacuum.....

In the engineering world, stiffer and stronger aren't always the answer. The loads just get transferred somewhere else. Hope this is a correct solution for ya.

This is 4 3/4 Don Dye, US made. If you can find a 4 1/4 for yours. Mine lasted 525 hours. There are two others that have been relubed and are as tight as day one. Chopper is using quality stuff for some parts, can't vouch for all, tho. I know Bad Boy has gone for the cheap Chinee stuff now.

Not all pulleys are the same....Chinee crap fails quickly, as in 8 hours in my case. And this is the stuff Bad Boy was selling.....

Valve head.....or seat.

After about 500 hours on the ignition the coil is suspect. "The Briggs & Stratton 594626 magneto coil (also called an armature-magneto or ignition coil/armature) includes a transistor as part of its solid-state electronic ignition system.". That's a lot of heat and cycles for a coil. And...

Huh. My FD731v uses zero per hour, zero between changes. 550 total hours.

Hung up on zink. 🤫👍

Read and learn..... https://www.hydro-gear.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/BLN-52503_P10.pdf You should have a PR series....should be some ID on the pump.....

Vertical is much more controllable but now you may end up with fuel feed problems depending on length of time climbing and descending...and that leads to electric fuel pump in 1 to 2 psi range. Got headlights? Use that circuit to control on/off. I would not cut horizontally unless you had some...

Had a three day ice storm in S Central OK many years ago. Power was out for a week. Had a nice new big Lopi that kept the house warm even tho I had propane heat but didn't want to use it because wood was cheaper than the propane and there isn't all that much satisfaction watching a furnace run...

Gasoline is entering the compustion chamber as a vapor as well during normal operation, same as propane.

In South TX I doubt you have to worry about anything icing up.....

Yes...there will be an adjustment unless you want to run lean with propane. Stoichiometric ratio for propane is 15.5:1, gasoline is 14.7:1. The propane required per unit time is greater than gasoline therefore the orifice must be larger to pass the greater amount required. If injected, which I...

Why? What you think is irrelevant. What you can prove scientifically is relevant.

Nope. Backwards. Propane 1 gallon=91,452 Btu Motor gasoline 1 gallon=120,214 Btu Stoichiometry Mass. . . . Vol. . . % by mass Propane (LP)15.5 : 123.9 : 16.45% Gasoline . . . . . . . . . . 14.7...

Well....what can I say. Got me. FD731V.

What a moron. TB1207B is RTV. "But the original factory white sealant on those lower crankcase mating surfaces was most likely ThreeBond TB1211 (or a very close Kawasaki-branded equivalent). TB1211 is a white, lower-viscosity, oxime-type RTV silicone that was widely used by Kawasaki and other...

Just a heads up on older Kawasaki water cooled engines. Have a 26 year old Kawasaki FV731V with fairly low hours however when the factory built this engine they used an RTV that was not friendly to antifreeze. It has just a fair rating in that use and should never be used in contact with...

Nobody is setting the cone offset. It's a nail. You can't ( well I assume most won't but there will be those who try) set a cone offset to the blade hole.

My edges aren't serrated. Doubt anyone else's are either... So...why do JD tell you the "Blades are sharp" when they're not. Sharp: adapted to cutting or piercing: such as : having a thin keen edge or fine point Engineering sharp: A) The thinness of the edge (sharpness) as quantified...

You don't know crap about physics....just like your imaginary friend. 🤫🤪

Why do you need "two cutting edges"? Every chef in the world would be slapping their forehead right about now.
