Overly retarded timing reduces power and causes high exhaust temperatures, making exhaust manifolds glow red as the heat that the engine failed to convert into energy goes out of the exhaust, often with the fuel still burning. He was complaining about the muffler glowing red. Just that retarted...

Running hot is usually caused by running too lean or retarted ignition timming. Also on those old cast iron engines the exhaust valve would stick when they get hot and cause it to die. When they cooled down it would unstick on it's own and run again. When it gets hot and sticks and it cools you...

Did you change the filter as well?

Blowing out the fuel line with compressed air may not work. just had one that the inside of the line had collapsed that you can blow air through but fuel could not run through it. Cut it open and it was totally collapsed. Replaced the line and cured the problem.

Have xw2500 Dixie Chopper That some idiot put a set of ATV tires on. There are times that a mower is going to spin and you just can't help it every time mine did it would dig a hole in the yard. Got rid of them and went to turf saver tire. Would rather have it spin and not dig a hole in the...

You are bound to have power to the swith for the PTO and fuel solenoid to work. If it has a fuel solenoid. Start with safety switches and PTO switch since the start circuit goes throuh it.

Not a fan of the General Plastic trans but seem to work like a hydro. Big thing to do is keep the keep the outside clean and don't let grass build up on it.

Take care of yourself my prayers are with you.

Genuine Kohler never tried the AM.

You know the carb off a SV singles will work right on the CV singles. Have uesd them on several occasions have one on a CV490 right now. Runs fine.

First thing to do is adjust the valve lash. Too much lash will cause engine to kick back on the starter.

Make sure the wires are connected then test to see if there is current to the clutch. VOA Meter or test light.

Been doing it for 47 years.

There are ways to rejuvinate joints but the pill pushers and surgeons don't want you to know it. Look up Dr John Bergman on how to rejuvinate joints. It does work but you have to keep at it. I know I have done it. Stopped for a while and it came back doing it again now. Better Than pills and...

Have had several in the $4K + range replacing the engine with a kit with the necessary hardware to up grade the mower to replacement engine since the Generac is NLA. It is something to see these people put that kind of money in an old Dixie Chopper with the manual blade engage. But they love...

you have to have a tester that has a gap of at least 1/4 inch gap for the spark to jump

Just because it fires out side the cylinder @ .030 does not mean it will fire under compression. To similate compression the gap outside the cylinder has to be at least 1/4 inch.

Kawasaki service manual says 97 Inch lbs. 15 ft lbs for bracket bolts.

Unless someone has cut the plunger on the solenoid off.

To do the best job of mulching you have to slow down.

I ask Ron Spencer head tech man at Dixie Chopper why they called them D/C. He said do you think we could sell a Yankee Clipper LOL

Star Tech is right ZU-GPEE-3C0A-2JLX is the correct part no for the trans axle have one in my shop. 71446 is the right hub no. $54.58 retail.

I know what you mean. Don't waste my time on them either. General trans are junk. Does anyone use them any more. I know HOP used them but haven't see any lately. Definately not made to pull aeriators.

What you posted is a belt no.

Shows FH680-GS32S $2471.54 retail

Have seen carbs run for over $500.00 dollars.

Don't have time to wait 2 weeks this stuff works in minutes.

Yes we two sell the AM parts when a spindle assy for a Cub Cadet $139.95. Buy the AM for a lot less and sell the three assys for $159.95. Huge savings for customer an we make a good profit.

You need to mow slower for things to work properly.

https://www.dixiechopperpartsdistributors.com/ you can see the setup here where the blades are X. If it doesn't pop up click on blades in the threads on the left side of the screen.

Dixie Chopper has a double blade setup. The top blade is called an X blade and the bottom H blade is flat. The flat bottom H blade fits in the X portion of top blade seem to work pretty well and have never seen one come off yet.

Wow Skip 9629 You did something most other people don't do. Post model spec and code # you done good. Thanks

LOL

Wire it straight to the hot side of the solenoid.Should be much easier to do.

On the wheel I was trying to get off that would not budge. I sprayed the Superzill on it and it penetrated all the way through the hub. It does work. Use it all the time.

Yes he is sure about that. Never seen anyone suppy parts for the clutch. Other than there are a few that have replacable bearings. Really something when so novice comes in and argues with the pros here

https://superzilla.us/ Good stuff.

Xtreme Clutches https://xtremeope.com/page/search-results/?keywords=605777k# Best Clutch I have ever used

Anyone ever try Superzilla had a wheel to get off, was all rusted on. Sprayed with Supperzilla let it set for a little while and it cam off pretty easy. This stuff works. Had a pulley to get off a hydro and could get to the top through the frame. Took a pry bar and hammer and tried to drive it...

We see that all the time people put them on upside down and bring them back that is the first thing we ask them. They are marked cylinder side or this side up. Hard to see but is there.

Check to make sure your choke is coming on.

valve stem seals fit over thhe top of the valve guides.

yes

To say you have s FR691V does not give the information needed to get the top no load RPM's of the engine. Spec no. is needed.

Has anyone had the blower housing off lately and left the ground strap off the regulator? When you replaced the regulator did you put the ground strap back on that grounds the regulator to the engine block? It has to be grounded to the block. No such animal as a CV55. Kohler regulators have a...

When it dies check to see if you have spark.
