    To buy or not to buy

    I found a great shop manual and I found the answers to my questions. That hose 30 (in post #29) coming from the carburetor is nothing more than a drain hose. The nearly 2 feet of it just hang there open ended pointing to the ground under the engine and allows you to drain the carburetor before...

    To buy or not to buy

    Peva, actually the 4 legged fuel pump is the original one OEM and I am sure that's all Honda installs just to keep it simple, regardless if the mower goes to CA or AL. They probably just do the line routing a little different to bypass unused features and that's what I am trying to get a handle...

    To buy or not to buy

    Come to think of it, there are always the California wackos. i read once that Zero Turners in CA have a charcoal canister somewhere in their fuel system, whereas the other 49 states don't. I know my RZT doesn't have one. On my diagram the purge line comes from the fuel pump and goes to the frame...

    Never mind. In the meantime I found out where all the fuel lines go. Why does the fuel pump for a Honda GXV630RH has 4 legs of which one is a purge line. What does the purge line do? Also there is what seems to be a oil pressure sensor or switch on the right side of the engine (see pic) but it...

    This is the factory fuel pump which the seller removed from the mower. I want to put it back instead of that jerryrigged electric pump. Does anybody know what lines go where?

    I started the restoration process of my newly aquired project and I am in desperate need of a good electrical wiring diagram for that particular mower. It is a 2017 17AGCACN056 or RZT-L46 (Honda engine). I found a few, but they are very hard to make out. Thanks

    To buy or not to buy

    Well, last Sunday I drove the 200 miles to see the mower and I bought it for $250 while keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. The seller was a senior gentleman who seemed to be honest and sincere. He answered all my questions in a way that made sense without raising a red flag...

    To buy or not to buy

    No, it's not on FB marketplace. It's on CL either Mobile AL or Auburn AL and it sounds like it is a private seller not a junk flipper but something is toxic about this thing. It's been on CL for a month now and no takers. I just noticed they just dropped the price to $250. You almost can't lose...

    To buy or not to buy

    I was never too afraid of an engine that at least you can turn freely by hand even if it is not running. It's the ones with with busted rods, dropped valves, holes in pistons or seized solidly, that will cost a pretty penny to fix or at worst aren't worth fixing. The seller says the trannies and...

    I hear y'all. If it's still available by the weekend I will give the seller a call and pump him for more info and ask him if he has any repair estimates to get it running. That should tell me a lot already

    To buy or not to buy

    I am thinking about buying a zero turn Cub Cadet model RZT-L46 FAB (17AGCACN010). That one has the Honda engine GXV630. I don't know anything about CC or zero turners. My mowers in the past have been Craftsman and Ariens. $300 asking price seems to be a good deal. Seller says it needs a starter...

    FS111R is sluggish

    Looks like the problem has been resolved. Turns out it was a carburetor problem of some sort. I almost gave up and was going to take the trimmer to Stihl and let them figure out what the problem is. Then I remembered that I had a small bottle of Mechanic in a Bottle sitting on my shelf and I...

    FS111R is sluggish

    DOM is June 2019. It starts right up on first pull but is kinda lazy to rev up. No I have not done any further checking on cylinder walls, rings etc. For that, I need to practically dismantle the engine and I am not at that point yet. I was hoping it was something easier like plugged up muffler...

    FS111R is sluggish

    My trimmer has no power and struggles even under a small load. Also it does not want to rev up even with WOT. After about a minute of basically sitting there and idling at WOT it picks up and runs faster but the minute you apply a load it drops down again. Now here is what I checked so far...
