I had a few M6's and an M6 bottoming tap so I went that way. It worked out great and I was mowing again yesterday. As soon as the mower was running, I got out my reciprocating saw and chopped down that stump. Thanks for the help. Regards, Jim

Thanks, I got one yesterday at the local lawn equipment store. They didn’t stock the flywheel puller so I’m fabricating one. I tried all the screws in my junk fastener bucket but no luck. Do you happen to know the thread size of the flywheel puller holes? I can just go to the hardware store and...

A few days ago I was happily mowing and all of a suddon I heard a klunk klunk and the engine stopped and now it won't start. It turns out that I hit a small stump, no bigger than a 1" diameter. Seems to me I have heard that some engines have a shear pin to prevent major damage. My engine is a...

Thanks cadet and StarTech, but I don't know what an ACR bump is.

Thanks nobot, yes, the carb and fuel tank are installed. I have some other parts that I didn't mention yet because like Bert said I'm trying to stick to basics. After I get it running, I'll introduce the fact that I have a starter motor and A natural gas/propane kit that I want to install. But...

Spark intensity kept varying and finally there was no spark so I ordered a new ignition coil. It should be here Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes.

A little support and encouragement would be welcome

Good morning, I'm making progress, and I have the starter motor mounted. I'll have to do some research before I understand the wiring. I do believe that it's ready to start with the pull cord however. I pulled the cord many times but it wouldn't start, even with starting fluid spray. It seems to...

Hello scrubcadet10, wow, that is better than I even hoped for. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks, Jim

Hello, I recently acquired a Power Stroke generator with a Honda GX340. I would like to make it electric start. I happen to have a GX340 on my junk pile that has electric start. I don't see a flywheel access on the running engine. What will I have to do to make the conversion? (The engine on the...
