To remove parts 37/38 from the parts diagram, you will need a tool that holds part 38 or else when u turn the nut from underneath, this will just turn also. To get a "tool" to hold it, get a piece of crap wrench (22mm I recall) and grind it down so that it is only about 3/16" thick. Personally...

Oh yeah, when you read the wording they only warrant that they put it together correctly. What is the point of a LW? Either u got it assembled correctly or not, but it is a good sales pitch when the buyer doesn't know it doesn't cover what they THINK it covers and buys it. In the past, Echo's...

Yeah, I don't know if Suzuki stopped making motors or it was Toro's choice to switch their commercials with Suzuki to commercials with Hondas. Tiger, here is one of them:

If this has a oil fill plug on the side, remove the plug and look for oil would answer my question but if u want to get fancy, https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-CA-25-Micro-Visual-Inspection-Diagnostic-Handheld-Camera-w-2-7-in-Color-Display-4-ft-Fixed-Waterproof-Camera-Cable-40043/203258908...

I just came across one... '92, huh?? Person tossed it for carb problems(dirty bowl), but like slomo said- 31yo still solid as a rock. *update* It took 2 pulls to start and I took it for a spin after work.

A TroyBilt mower (with same motor as Toro Timemaster) did the same thing- top decal was starting to peel off. Can't they put the right sticker on the first time??

They happened to have Hustler, Cub Cadet, etc on display at a convention at the hotel I was at the other day. I mean Hustler?? Your lawn business must only cut 2 yards a day, right??? Or do u carry around 10 sets of batteries? ps. recent post home user trimmer battery went bad.... after only 2...

If you don't discharge the grass, ANY mower will bog down and die. Use the bag or get the discharge chute. That will solve your problem. As posted by others - electric won't solve your problem.

You know their next step will be to eliminate the fill tube\plug and just add oil before bolting the engine block together.

Stihl had no idea on the original 70's FS80 when I was looking for a part back in 2000- no parts diagram. So "I feel your pain".

Sorry, this is what I have.

Would u clarify- is it hard to pull start? Sqeeze the bar but not engage the blade and it is easy to pull\start. Yeah, it will run with the clutch removed.

Are you the original owner? It it not the gray deck? I don't know if it was all models but they did advertise lifetime warranty on those decks.

Glad to help. That's what we are here for...

While true, don't they ever look back and go "Wow, we destroyed the billion $ company we bought... That was a waste of money!" ? Probably not, because other companies don't learn from it.

Why do big companies keep buying other brands only to destroy them?? LawnBoy comes to mind. Now Snapper- or at least part at the moment. What a shame....

last hacker tidbit, but if finding the original OEM compatible tap head is too much trouble, Look up the gearbox for a current echo trimmer. I say this because I had an even older Echo DA200(70's-80's almost identical to original Stihl fs80) and the motor fit the current echo shaft. Don't know...

here is the 10oclock choke

If this is throttle pushed all the way forward to choke, then something is off with the cable. IF choke, the lever would be up right now. I have seen where the black jacket of the throttle cable has been compressed making the cable "too long" thus in your case, not choke. It is rare but possible...

Your top red arrow is correct- that is the level that leads to close the choke. Try it yourself and push that up and see if the choke closes. If it doesn't close, bend it down a little bit and check again. If ok, then try the throttle and see again. With your picture, it is currently not pushed...

Parent company had a marketing conference at the resort I was at for the weekend. These are demos for people to try out. Up until this, I didn't know hustler has the same parent company as cub cadet.

EXACTLY! Have wifey keep moving the throttle all the way forward and back. Now look just right of the air filter holder and you should see a piece turning as she moves the throttle. NOW....just left of the part turning, as she pushes it all the way forward(choke), it should lift a piece. This...

Take off the air filter. Push the throttle to choke\start. In the carb right behind the black plastic that holds the air filter, do u see a 'brass' "door" closed or still open?

That would just remove the adapter bolt Fish posted. That would leave u a bolt for a cutter head or the like which you would need to buy a LH\RH nut. (sorry I just noticed now, the yellow head with 6 pins- same as mine just not orange and not 8 pins. I was thinking 8 off top of my head.) When u...

Is the head orange plastic with the bottom like a big upside down cup that has like 8 holes that pins fall in??? If so, you pull it out then turn it to give it more string then the pins fall back into the holes. With the pic of the threads, maybe you should look at the Stihl(again) FS36 head...

*BUT* It looks like the Stihl FS81/86 which were made by Zenoah aka: Redmax so he could look at these for parts. Mickrick, If I were you, I would try a carb for a Stihl FS74 FS76 HT70 HT75 FS80R FS85R FS55 FS45 etc. It is the same size cube. That's what I did with my 80's Zenoah trimmer. BTW...

When you explained, did u get a Gilda Radner "Never mind." ?

So you mean start everything at idle? Just about everything I have starts with partial if not wide open. I added a button to hold the throttle open a hair on my McCullough 1-42 as it won't start at idle for the life of me. This would goof up the H screw closed, no? Oh well, I set them to...

I got a T262 recently myself. The motor also sells as SRM-2620 and looking at the pic, even both print thier brand on the machine the same way(sideways vertically), so it makes me wonder is there is any difference at all between echo and Shindaiwa. ps. the parent company is Yamabiko Corporation...

Yeah, that's what I think happened even though every time it was running lean.... I have had this happen before when xyz just won't start. I put it away and use another trimmer, blower, etc and next time, the trouble machine starts fine. As I posted, playing Whack-a-Mole, maybe some extra gas...

Maybe this will be like Krispy Kreme during 2000??? when people were determined to go on a diet. It almost destroyed the company. Eventually people went back. Maybe in a few years when everyone who is buying a battery blower\trimmer will realize they need to spend another $150 on a replacement...

I think I am playing Whack-a-Mole or something. 2 days ago, I gave up left it after setting the mix screws to 2 and 2.25. I pulled it out yesterday without adjusting anything, and it started! high, idle ok. stopped and started the saw 4 times like clockwork. I am thinking maybe adjusting and...

Too bad, consumers will have to buy a new battery trimmer\mower every 3\4 years unlike gas powered. Just the cost of a battery is equal or close to just buying a new one. Maybe that is the new marketing trick - The battery is guaranteed to die in a few years.... Gas lasts alot longer. Sure it...

I know. That's what it is doing. after I spray some gas in the carb, It starts normal then gradually climbs in RPM then dies so it is running lean. Thing is, I replaced the fuel line with a clear Tygon tube and I see it is pulling fuel into the carb. I tried opening high and low up to 3 turns...

I looked at it and here is what I found: I replaced the fuel hose with a Tyvek hose and I see it is pulling fuel. I opened the carb and looked for any dirt\double checked the passages to the mix screw and from screw to passage, neither are plugged. My last test, I poured some gas\oil in and it...

I just came across a Poulan 361. I rebuilt the carb and it purred like a cat, but I had to remove it and upon redoing the mix screws, I can't get it to run right again. Can someone tell me what the default mix settings are? I know last time I had a goofy setting 1.75H 3L. It is like the game...

Mower companies are not about to reinvent the wheel. They use a current standard size filter. If I can find an orange replacement for $6.50, green paint on the same filter is not worth $20.

It is not difficult. At the bottom of the carb(behind the air filter) is the metal "bowl" at the bottom. There is a 1/2" bolt underneath it. unscrew that and find a sewing needle or some very small wire as at the internal end of the bolt is a fine hole. it is clogged up with dirt making u need...

How about visiting a car salvage yard and getting the heat shield that blocked heat from the muffler or cat and cut it to fit your muffler?

no. The ratchet clicks when u push the mower fwd. Pull back is the same as engine driving the mower - no click. Then again, if so, it would be hard to push forward.

When does it die? After you run it for 10 min? What sound does it make? does it sound bogged down or sound the same as if u killed the engine grounding the ignition. If it stops going put, put, put and comes to a stop, get an ignition test light and run with it on your engine. When it...

So is kawasaki going to own the commercial market then? Or is suzuki going to return to the market?

They are fine with that - just so long as they don't see the generator, like the powerplant burning fuel that they usually charge their car from.....

I just got back. Last time I went, some guy was smoking out the gutter. This time: I never saw a push mower but plenty of people with these backpack trimmers: Lastly, might I suggest to business owners something to increase business. I mean if u sell keys, it works for this store owner so...

-dies if idle -fuel leaks at cap For starters, u need to replace\repair the gas cap. It is a rebranded Echo 80'ish trimmer so look around for a similar cap. If you want to test before u buy a cap, take plastic wrap and put it over the fuel tank and put the cap on. That will temporarily fix the...

I use about 1 gal each year(at home, less at other rentals). I am fine with it. 2cycle oil has gas treatment in it.

Trufuel is highway robbery. I mean $7 for a quart or in that ballpark??? Just buy the Stihl oil if money is so critical. (I personally don't have a favorite on my 70's Stihl FS80's and 60's homelite chainsaw etc and see no scratches on the pistons.)

"2. One rear wheel is broken." I saw HD sells the Toro drive wheel with metal sprocket the other day. Maybe this is only in my area.

I used Por back in the 90's to paint my 60's tiller. I still have it and it never had a speck of rust. The problem I had was that their Hardnose paint on top of the Por peeled off here and there. The Snowbird snowblower I used the same thing and after10 years and my moving south, not a speck of...
