I found the guy a used flywheel on fleabay for $100. Cheaper than wasting time with a maybe fix.

Yeah cust asked if i could fix the flywheel. Sorry. Used a hacksaw and a cold chisel to cut the stuff off then found it got up in the bottom bearing. So they get to buy a new spindle.

I have had the RJ19LM not work in some old tecumseh but the nonresistor version worked.

Customer did an oopsie! Then i get this fargon mess. Electric fence plastic string. Has stainless steel wire in it. Just another day...

It varies but this is this morning.... till the satellites move.

I was getting 2mbps on a good day with DSL. Most days was 1.5. Starlink generally gets 120mbps.

The is3100z came in 2 varieties. The older ones, like mine, have separate self contained hydros. The newer ones have a single pump and separate wheel motors. Sounds like the OP has an older one with separate hydros.

Yeah fixing them isn't the issue. Give me a schematic and a parts list and i can fix most things. Did that for 40 years. Nothing special about the technology. Right now my favorite engine to work on is Chondas. I can get most any part now cheap. Just put a new complete chonda cylinder head on a...

You are breaking a 5/8 belt with a 6.5 hp engine. Something wrong here. Are the belts snapping or getting shredded?

Very true but it's just me.

"Kinda sounds like a battery power unit that I need to start researching before they start showing in my shop." I solved that problem in my shop. I don't take in any electric mowers. Every piece of equipment i have taken in has needed parts i can't get. I've spent so much unpaid time searching...

The owner is a lady i have known for 25 years and i just decided to fix it on me. Seems to be the right thing to do.

I assumed the rod seized but there was absolutely no aluminum on the crank. Yeah i think the piston got taken out because of the rod. Interesting, the parts list shows 2 different pistons depending on date code. Either one works. Only difference is one uses 2 wrist pin clips and the other only 1.

No. Didn't seem to over rev. Already tossed the rod. There was probably 30 small pieces of rod material. Engine was a 31R777. Lucky it didn't break the block. Did shear the key. I used a 240 grit ball hone to break the glaze and had to file and smooth a ding in the crank journal. Could have been...

9 year old mower came in for bad drive belt and broken hydro fan. Easy fix. Never touched the engine. Fixed the belt and fan and sharpened the blades. Fired it up and mowed for about a minute and BOOM. Rod, piston and gasket kit $150 and labor. Charged her for the belt and fan and i ate the...

But not as good as Scrub's. 😯 I guess this thread needs some pics of grinders.

Don't overlook a bad seat switch

Regularors need the battery to excite them to start charging. 8v should be enough. It does sound like a bad regulator

With a charged battery you should be getting approx 12v at the output tab on the regulator even with it not putting out charging voltage. How are you measuring the 8v? Battery charged?

With engine running and battery connected what is the voltage from ground to output tab on regulator? Is it the same as ground to battery positive?

You may have fried the stator. You should have approx 28 volts AC @ 3000rpm across the two stator wires going to the regulator. Unplug and check the stator output.

Hey rivets. I have a red mower that won't start. How do I fix it? 🤔😵‍💫😂😂😂😂 Looks like the the e405 uses that crappy little 4 stroke crapsman and trash bilt is using on all the small stuff.

From the parts list it appears the engine has plain flat tappets and not hydraulic. It will not be pumping oil up through the lifters and pushrods like a car engine. The engine lubricatethe valve train by splash and mist. If the engine is running fine and not seizing the rods on the crank...

You need zum guy named Guido.

Yeah, they had to go to 2 harbor freights to get enough.

If I tried that I would just break something on me.

This woman is a PhD college professor.

Haven't used mine in a couple years

I have used international red. It is pretty close.

Olympics is a scam. Cities petition ( bribe) the IOC to host the games. Countries petition (bribe) the IOC to add events. With a big enough bribe I could probably get tiddly winks added as an Olympic sport.

Shoulda put the brakes on that break dancing.

Still not sure. 🫣

Customer states "engine dies when I engage the blades "

You can see it but RoyGBiv can't LOL

Knew a guy in the dayton outlaws motorcycle club who took time off from being a drug dealer to moonlight as a debt collector. If he wasn't serving time I would get you his number.

Yeah seen that on another forum. Kinda creepy thinking about it. Here's one. Google "the color that doesn't exist"

Guy I know retired and got a job cutting grass at a high end golf course. Worked for free just got to play golf there for free. Fred put a $75k mower in a pond and they didn't fire him.

Those are for the other side of the car

Way back in the the day had a manager named Chet who was a dick. Our favorite Christmas Carol went. "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire" Pissed him off.....good.

Gotta watch heating up dem nutz.

The Pic is probably flipped.

If we are talking about a 5hp 13xxxx series briggs engine the "easy spin" bump is on the intake and not the exhaust. If the engine is not burning oil the most common cause of carbon deposits on the plug is not running rich but rather not running the engine hard enough to get the spark plug into...

Yup. Must be an aussie.

Some use the D spacer and some don't. Not sure of your application but this is what it looks like https://www.ebay.com/itm/225955067246

Just finished my third push mower of the last few days for water in the gas. Every one of them said the mower quit working after they filled it up. One guy says he uses one of the new politically correct gas cans. I guess they aren't as air tight as the government thought. E10 makes me money.

A small amount of water in the float bowl can cause a no start condition.

Buddy of mine raced flat track back in the day with a big 2 stroke single. Once up to speed he held the throttle wide open all the time and used the compression release to modulate power in an out of the turns. Keeps the engine revs in the powerband all the time. Brakes? What are brakes? I...

Fun fact. This past winter I forgot a plastic coffee can with about an inch of ice melter in it sitting in the barn. Found it yesterday. It is almost completely full of water it has pulled out of the air. Probably about a quart.
