noooo, I meant in general, not ON THIS MOWER. I replaced 2 coils on a craftsman dgs6500 courage twin (converted DSAI to MDI) lol. I have not replaced the coil on this mower since I bought it. the previous owner did ONCE

I purchased a Craftsman II gt18 garden tractor with a 18hp OPPOSED twin briggs for $50, and when we picked it up didn't run. seller had replaced the "distributor" (coil) but we discovered that he had grounded the kill wire...LOL. we hooked up the kill wires PROPERLY and the thing started up...

I have a Kohler courage pro sv735-0016 on a craftsman dgs6500 (917.288600) that wont work right, very finicky and kicks over a bit with starting fluid. I’m done messing around and wasting my time on a bad engine. So my question is: 1. How easy do you think it would be to swap the engine? 2...

I do too. That’s why I’m trying to do this, I’m not gonna charge my customers the $100 for the harness and $100 for labor!

I know! All the harnesses are $100+, it’s insane!

I’m trying to FIND the parts, so I can buy them

I could get arrested for not buying the correct part but tweaking it to fit? I don’t think so, it is physically impossible to fix the existing harness

So I’m looking online and there I no way that I’m going to spend 100 dollars on a wiring harness fit for this model so I’m thinking I could buy a harness that is very close to what I need but has that key switch port. Leave me a link if you find a close harness

I recently bought a Husqvarna GT riding mower and the previous owner absolutely destroyed the wiring so I am looking to replace it to its former glory and I am unable to find a good wiring harness and smart switch. Is it possible that I could replace only the smart switch with the key switch if...

Change the oil very frequently and always run at max rpm. You will have to see yourself if the deck or bagger are compatible with the gt. Look under both and understand how the lift mechanism works and where the mounting points are. If they are the same, they are exchangeable. Same with the...

Dyt means deluxe yard tractor and gt means garden tractor, referring to size. The gt5000 is much larger, has more features and higher ease of use. Anything would be better than the engine in the dyt4000. I personally have had a gt5000 and it was great! Still runs great today, at 1200 hours :0

Started it up this morning and no smoke??? Quite strange but I’ll start it later this afternoon and give an update

Was a little bit over when I was looking at it, my fault, but only by a sixteenth of an inch. I drained a little bit out and it still smoked. What is a leak down test?

I have a Briggs 24HP vtwin on a craftsman pyt9000 that is quite a mystery… Typically I run my engines about every few days (yes I know it I’d a waste of gas, but I don’t really care about dinosaurs much) and all’s well, but I hold off for about a week. And now it’s smoking blue! Its very faint...

UPDATE: This is a hydro gear 618-0319 transaxle

I have a Craftsman PYT 9000 model no 247.289800 that I think from my research has a hydro-gear trans on it, and when I’m driving (except for frat area once it gets some speed) it will make these low pitched whining like sounds, it’s when I first press on the pedal and when going on a even slight...

its really not that hard to replace the cam, its just right there after you take the oil pan off...

hmmm, thats a big tradeoff

prob 300+, just depends what your budget is because i know that this project is starting to cost a bit

its not a matter of will the camshaft break, its when. all of these engines have camshaft ACR problems - 21xxxx-28xxxx-31xxxx-33xxxx engines, especially the intek ones.

just leave the engines intact with all of their pieces, not a good choice of engine though as all of them have camshaft breaking issues, since the sparkplug ignites as the piston starts to go back down, it might be for emissions but idk about any of the things they do on these to "solve"...

yeah. that should be a permanent fix at least for the starter

that iswierd that the new starter gaer broke so soon though

how much have you spent on it so far?

you can try all these alternative fixes or actually fix the problem, which is most likely the compression release

i think they make metal ones...

yes it can, you can put in a new and much stronger battery and that will essentially bypass the ACR or i have seen some people cover up the intake hole with their hand and it would start, just some advice from someone who had 5 or 6 of these Hard-to-crank blown acr engines, just sayin

does it do it when you press the brake pedal?

i forgot that i have this exact same mower! if you have any questions, ask me because i now have a visual of what you r dealing with lol

do you have a fuel pump on it?

yeah, same

yeah, ive had my fair share of mowers with a bad acr (like half of them) and sometimes if its not too bad you can buy a very powerful high cc batter for them and it sorta bypasses it, but yeah, when looking for a mower, avoid the 21xxxx, 28xxxx, 31xxxx, and 33xxxx briggs and stratton single...

sorry, but you need a new carburetor, you could spend hours fiddling with it, or you could buy a $20 carb, make a good use of your time

read my mind

what model of husqvarna would help, is this on a push mower, a roto tiller or a '66 fastback? provide us the right information and you will get quality answers

take the spindle out then and grease the darn thing

what?

if it runs or even fires a bit then your engine is good and you prob need a new carb and fuel lines (y)

try shooting som starting fluid in the carb or sparkplug hole

lotta problems on this blower lol

that stuff works wonders! i have like 5 cans of it in my shed

check your spindles/bearings

i have a 3HP b&s horizontal shaft on an edger that starts first pull also, i tell ya, its the seafoam i treat it with
