Useless endeavour. Mow when it's dry.....

Funny when you look for ethanol and 2024....NAS has nothing to say about it.

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.

Bull****.

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.

Prove it.

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...

Zero effect.

Won't know....🙄

Stop torturing the guy.

Typical parts cannon.

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...

I never feel bad for the front line folks. Ever.

Bearings are a dime a dozen. The bearing identifier is right on the outside face of the outer race of the bearing. Whatever they charged you for bearings was probably 500% more than you should have paid. And as for 900 hours....sounds like Chinee bearings.

Assuming the wheel base width is something less than 42" . I'd recommend a deck that had slightly more width than the tires as it makes edging possible without dragging the tire across whatever is being mowed,

Cracking where? HDPE can be "welded".....

What crap.

Ethanol in a two stroke keeps it cooler because of the higher latent heat of evaporation. Want a really cool engine...run it with methanol but you'll have to enrichen it a fair amount. Also, the effective compression ratio of a two stroke is more like 6 to 7 to 1 in commercial units. High octane...

Either one. Makes little difference. If the equipment is later than 1980 all the rubber parts are changed to Buna N, impervious to alcohol.

One would hope you released the pumps before towing or did you just drag it back. "3. To disengage the pumps (free-wheel position), turn the hydraulic release valves (A, Figure 2) located on the pumps COUNTER-CLOCKWISE a maximum of 2 full turns."

And you know this...how? You watching the inner race as the machine is moving? On the ground? If it makes you feel better grease the shaft but that would just let the inner race be more likely to overcome friction. Or leave it dry.

Common testing standard: Most small engines are rated and tested at 3,600 RPM (no-load or governed speed). At this speed:Many Briggs & Stratton systems (e.g., 5A or 9A charging) produce ~28–40V AC (28V for smaller 5A systems, ~40V for 9A). doityourself.com Other common readings: 24–30V AC...

Block cracking is the last thing that would happen. A bent con rod is more likely. Take pictures with your phone of carb removal and disassembly.....assuming you have a cell phone.....at every step. Don't think you'll remember and skip....take pictures. Different angles. Once apart spray or soak...

⛔

Aaaaand....I'll wager that the old starter is just fine only needing disassembly, cleaning the commutator, and inspecting the brushes and reassembly.

And 10% ethanol is just fine.

Generac had this issue with Generac branded air filters they sourced from Malaysia. The specs from Generac called for a fireproof coating on the filter element. It was fireproof, alright. Under light load and lighter airflow requirements it was just fine. But if a heavier electrical load showed...

Mechanics Mode Mechanics mode allows dealerships to unlock/power up the console and operate the mower without the owner’s key code. Enter the mechanic’s key code using the buttons (1-4). As you enter the key code, the LCD (14) displays it, always showing the 6 most recently entered digits. If...

Tires have vent spews.....🤫

B&S now making Kawasaki?

I often wonder what those arrows and the "P" on the pump mean? 🤔

You'll need a pressure regulator that gets down to the 1 to 2 pound range, preferentially the lower of the two. Or just get a pump with an adjustable regulator. I did this in an old Craftsman when I lived in PA as the hills would prevent the vacuum pumps from moving fuel to the now much higher...

Not familiar with this item....but, see if this helps. One of the few references to this marque and roller as a search term....

Yup. These coils tend to age over the years as this is a lost spark system that fires every revolution, not just when that particular cylinder calls for spark. Multiply 3400 x 60 x the number of hours on the engine......that's a number in the millions. These are...

Wish these forums had a search function.....anyone ever confirm that the coils were actually putting out proper spark? And that the coils were mounted in the correct location? Kawasaki twins have a left and a right coil that are different and separate from one another....can't vouch for the...

You don't lose just 50% power on the loss of a cylinder....more like 75% with pumping losses and additional frictional losses....and that depends on whether the compression isn't degraded from hours use. Plus it's turning those two hydraulic pumps when moving and stationary but the load only...

TruFuel saw you coming......

Sure looks like it fits to me. 🤫🙄. Found your "kit" for $11 elsewhere on Amazon but you need the new spindles and the bearing still won't fit the wheel hub.

The ball size would be vanishingly small on a 3/4 id and 1 of bearing...l that is why you're finding 1 3/8 OD...and , yes, that is the race size not the flange diameter. Ball bearings with a 3/4" ID are widely available, but their OD is almost always larger—most commonly 1-3/8" (1.375") for...

Says nothing about the OD in the specs.....

Also..those holes in the side of the jet are air bleed holes to enhance emulsification of the fuel drawn thru the jet bottom. Make sure the air passages are clear as well.

Does it surge still with the air cleaner removed?

Without seeing the complete assembly I'd check to see if there is room to weld your reinforcement plates on the ends of the bracket to form a semi-box, assuming that this would not interfere elsewhere, and remove the center previously welded reinforcement. Looks like the bending is orthogonal to...

Almost every two stroke has the pin unless the ports are miniscule and even then...hell, .21ci RC engines have the pin.

Bet the starter has never been renewed...ie brushes, commutator, lubricated bearings.

No....unless your card company is scamming you too, it doesn't need to be on your "statement". Initiate the dispute as fraud and they'll provisionally reverse any payment pending resolution. Save the advertisment as proof of fraud.

And too rich gasoline will behave similarly to a too rich propane. There is no opposite.....

No, that's about right. If you consider gasoline (e10) to be 1.0 Gasoline Equivalent then propane is about 0.76 Gasoline Equivalent. You'd need 1.52 gallons of propane to equal the BTU content of 1 gallon of gasoline. Motor gasoline, 1 gallon=120,214 Btu Diesel fuel, 1 gallon=137,381 Btu...
