Don't do much work on Honda engines. Distributor s##ks. Can get parts through other sources at times. Honda carbs are so cheap it doesn't pay to work on them just replace. Any way their parts look up s##ks as well.

I have found if I am going to leave the fuel line off the carb for any length of time. I will take a yellow wire nut that is smoothe and plug the fuel line. Works great and not pinching the fuel line.

I have never seen this but here was the problem. The throttle shaft was broken not moving the throttle plate. I would start and run but not fast enough to deactive the compression release. Causing it blow back through the carb. Replaced The throttle shaft put the throttle plate back in. It...

Kohler Relkoh has a engine plant in China and have had for years. Looks like mostly the horizontal engines.

Plastic carb no screws in the throttle of choke shafts.

Checked both not the problem.

There should have been an oring inside the plastic ring.

Nova 2 makes a chip to replace the points and condensor on small engines. They work on most all point type ignitions. Install it and if it doesn't fire switch the wires. Most of the time this will work. I have used them on the old cast Iron Kohler engines. You can get them at Amazon.

Have a Tanaka TBC340 trimmer I bought in 2004 have always used non-ethanol fuel in it and have never done a carb job on it. Go out prime it choke and it starts right up. Runs like a champ.

TDC on the compression stroke is the only place both valves are fully closed at the same time. Briggs says piston 1/4 inch past TDC.

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I work for a Dixie Chopper dealer and have for the last 16 years. Here is the way I do it and talked to D/C about it as well. They don't post any torque specks for the caster nut. Tighten the nut down and spin the caster to where it turns about 3/4 the way...

The only thing that stop magentism is distance.

No not the problem clean carb and fresh fuel.

Welcome to the forum lots of good guys here willing to help. Hope we can help when needed.

That's a thought I'll try it.

Briggs 104M02-0005-F1 engine on a Snapper walk behind 12AVB2A2707 SER 1K195K31260. Customer brought it in and said it sounds like it is knocking and low on power. Sounds like the knock sound is coming from the carb. Any idea what it might be.

Welcome to the site

Cylinder leak down test is probably the best test you can run to determin the problem.

Have you tried taking the fuel line off past the filter to see if fuel flows through the filter?

25 050 21-s Is the Kohler filter for the gravity flow system. It is the filter I use on the non-fuel pump systems. If you use the 24 050 13-s it is a 10 micron filter and the engine could run for short peroids of time and shut off.

The FR-FS and the FX are the same basic engine. They just have different external parts. Carb, air filter, blower housing. All the engines in a block size are the same. Like FR651-691 and 730 are the 730 block. FX751-801 and 850 are built on the 850 block. The difference I can see is the carb...

Don't sell yourself short I am 74 years old and work on these things every day. Right now in the shop have a 27 HP Generac off a Dixie Chopper Silver Eagle. It has the govenor blown in it. Got it off with the help of one of the other guys. It was a bear since the clutch was stuck on the crank...

First thing I would do is to make sure there are no missing or loose bolts or broken hydro mounting brackets. There is usually a stop bolt to limit the travel of the levers to control the tracking. Adjusting the rods will most likely throw the neutral out of whack.

https://www.dixiechopper.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2011-se-parts-manual.pdf Page 41 is the wiring diagram.

Did you check the fuses? When you put the starter back on did you get the wires on the starter correctly. I assume this is a 27hp Generac engine.

Did any manufacture use a mechanical pump but Kohler? Have not seen many pulse pumps fail. We sell a lot of them to novices that don't know how to diagnose a problem.

Medart seems to be better

You can educate ignorance but you can't fix stupid

You can educate ignorance but you can't fix stupid.

Model No.

Could be the bolts to adjust the tracking.

One thing I will tell you about the Kawasaki engines. They are a good engine. You need to really do as they reccomend and adjust the valves every 350 hours as this is the weakest area of the engine. If they would fix this weak link in the engine they would have the best engine in the industry.

We are Dixie Chopper and Stihl Dealers. Stihl mowers are built by Ferris. Can not give any advice on the Scagg mowers other than they seem to be a good line of mower that the upper end of the line is used in the commercial lawn care industry.

ZT3400 Is a commercial hydro. Suspension seats are nice bigger tires are a plus. You have to make the choice.

Here is a classic example for the reason people go on E-bay and amazon and buy carbs. Through Kohler the carb for this engine $569.88 on Ebay it is $24.60. Is this raping the customer or what. I know these carbs don't always preform like they should but it is a 50/50 chance it will work. You...

Might be a good move I find they have things Gardner does not have a lot of the time. We use both but seem to like Medart the best.

How did you get the axle back in the first time without splitting the case? If you did it like it should have been done you could have change the fluid then.

If it is part no.44871 Medart has 141 of them in ware house 08

Air leak in the intake manifold.

Good people here willing to help. Welcome to the site from north middle Tn.

They have them on Amazon $38.33

Not sure about lawn tractors but a lot of ZTR mowers have a time delay of about 3 seconds when you bounce off the seat to keep the engine from dying in this situtation.

What is the worse thing you have ever dug out of a mower deck. Mine was one of those blue tarps. What a mess.

Do not buy the starter with a metal gear if yours is plastic, It will mess up the ring gear on the fly wheel.

Thanks for your kind words it is posters like you that make us want to help more. Have searched but have not been able to find manual as of yet. Will keep looking though.

That one is metal. If it has water in the hydro it can make it run hot could make noise have low power. If it has water in the hydro and is milky looking I would change the oil and filter. HT1000 oil is expensive but it is a 1,000 hour oil. That one is metal.

Said the idler looked fine. Is it metal or is it black plastic. If black plastic I would replace it. If it is black plastic I bet the bearing is going bad and making a noise.

Have sold a lot of the Black Hawks and Eagles Only replaced two of the Parker hydros both were due to leaks. Seem to be almost bullet proof. Might check the belt. Has the idler ever been replaced? They came out with a plastic idler on those early models. Have seen them fail with really low hours...

Sounds like the belt is not releasing like it should. Make sure it is the right belt. and all the guides are in place
