On a sidenote, did Jacobsen\Textron ever own Homelite? I ask because someone in my area is selling a Jacobsen\Homelite push mower.

LK085 - If your mower has this motor: https://www.toro.com/~/media/Images/Toro/product-details/RLC/walk-power-mowers/rlc-wpm-20340-smartstow-rwd-1600x1369.ashx?mw=700&mh=599&hash=84BAC30B77E6B789E4059C54E6DD3FE48A177F60 then it is not too dificult in that replace the flywheel with one that has...

I JC, If u take out the air filter do u see a brass "flap"(the choke) closed or is it open? I ask because pictures of the model that come up(http://newhavenpower.com/Toro20333.html) have the briggs engine which might have the auto choke that is instead stuck open making it not choke to start...

JC, does the piston still move when u turn the flywheel? If it does, your cause may just be a warped\stretched valve and a new valve will cost u alot less.

Tom, Thanks. my mower label is 92908 1826 01 79020608 so made in early 79??? Cicil, if u do clearcoat, do not use the spray can stuff - it will flake off. Get it from the car paint store. If it is good enough for a car exposed to the elements, it must do wonders for a mower kept in the shed...

Call me cheap, but i just used the spray paint at walmart on mine. I went with the darker of the reds. Being i masked the 21, u can see the new paint is a hair darker than the original. I also sprayed automotive clear coat. Not doing it and you will get rust spots everywhere in no time - in this...

Did they make that deck with steel also? I ask because now and then someone is selling a variation of the mower on craigslist.

Finally got around to fiddle again. I recalled i had a power sprayer with a similar engine so i thought to try the ignition module. Bingo!! Thanks guys. Romore, I guess u were right. https://youtu.be/lDR2S63K194

model type code 92908 1826 01 79020608 fyi: The part i got is the Stens 460-014 it replaces 298502 697036 395488 and 496914 (so they say)

To all, I did get a magnetron coil. I put the right side up. There is some paint on the top side on the old one. I lined up the new one same as old one. I had the ground wire disconnected the whole time.

Im stumped. I first tried a new spark plug.Then i tried a SS to replace the points. I then tried a new ignition coil. Then i tried a different flywheel(magnet seems fine- both original and replacement wheel). All of this still no spark(plug or spark tool). I sanded surfaces so the coil and SS...

I've owned both the front and rear tine. My observations are as follows: Rear tine + is cool being self propelled, if u hit a hard spot, it doesn't yank it out of your hands +great for long runs -becuase of big size, pain to turn around thus more of a pain for small gardens with fence\wall. I...

What I did when i knocked my rims loose after 20ish years is a mix of torch to heat up the rim to hot then spray water on it to crack the rust, and grind the end of the shaft to make it tapered so that when u pound it, it won't mushroom to stop the rim from coming off. While i haven't needed to...

for 100ish for the Craftsman decals where part of only 2 stickers actually fit mine is why i didn't buy it. The red stripe and craftsman name is the only decal that fits mine.

Thanks PT. Now if i can only find some decals for cheap.....

In order to get the exact match, you would be better off getting color samples to match before looking for the paint. your red won't match the original color with the years of exposure and all. PTmowerMech - I had left over silver from repainting my wife's finder so i did mine myself. The...

If still no go, with the engine cold, turn the engine to TDC and measure the valve gaps. Too small will leave the valve open quickly as it warms up.

Cool! Add that to the list of things you can't use when the power company shuts down your grid because of fear of overloading the system and starting ANOTHER forest fire.

https://www.greenindustrypros.com/lawn-maintenance/mowing/product/12271270/honda-power-equipment-honda-hrc216k3hda-commercial-walk-mower Small world, I'm in the north Dallas area also... I actually have a few of HRR215's(plastic deck w and w/o blade clutch) that people leave on the curb...

Funny thing, here in Tx a newbie had a nice pretty new 2 stage snowblower in their driveway as they unloaded the moving truck. This was a few years ago. I wonder if they still have it... :p

The parts diagram says it has a briggs motor and have this tank - https://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Fuel-Tank/699374/1567987?model=747339 R I don't know about you, but shops where i live leave at least 1 a week complete with this tank out back that i can get the tank off of..... Getting a...

Both are 4cycle - 185's. Actually, i also got a second one. Being the second one was for $40, it was complete and i thought "i can keep the first one for parts". I ended up brazing making an intake pipe so i have 2 working. :-P

Small world. I got one this weekend. Mine there was a clog in the fuel tank- no fuel flowing(is there a filter in there?). Mine is steel deck though.. Was this an "option" of did toro already ditch the magnesium deck for this? Amazing how much stuff people toss that only need a simple fix.

I have a Wisconsin motor from a snapper mower i got last summer. The motor was missing carb pipes and carb itself. Being the part is NLA, I got around to look into brazing aluminum being i never welded before. BWAHHHHHHHHH!!!! She's alive! Honestly i thought the joint would just break off. Now...

I'm looking for some labels- the ones on the front "4HP" and "TOUGH" decals to finish off my paint job. I don't see any of these on the internet so i am going to inquire with a local printer. If i find it much cheaper to order some quantity of them, is anyone out there interested in joining me?

While my Q isn't a "Snapper" Q, snapper did sell a bunch with them so maybe someone can help. My Snapper has the W1-185 engine. The "problem" i have is that even with the choke applied, i cant get it to start. Spray a little fluid in the air filter and it runs like a champ. I soaked the carb so...

Here it is: I used car paint\clearcoat. It only took a few days to prep and paint but i had to wait 2 weeks to get the rear bearings before final assembly. I took it apart down to paint every piece separately. While i got the Wisconsin motor to run (the intake valve gap originally was too big)...

The great debate- $40 for the non self propelled with the slanted lettering(older model) or more recent "commercial" with self propell for $20....

Upon replacing the piston rings, i messed up the very thin shimmy that is on the crankshaft resting on the oil pan. Looking up parts diagram,they don't show this part. Is it sold with the crankshaft or evil thought- can i live without it?? TIA

Yours looks alot like the one i had where it is not where everybody says. check this place:

Sorry for the delay. While it won't fix your problem 100%, here is a pic of the part. PM me if u r interested:

I have a echo shc-225 where the cutter shattered. It broke inside the gearbox. the broken part then broke the gearbox. Being home use, it is still "under warranty" about 4 years old. I use quotes because the dealer told me odds are echo will give some lame excuse and not cover it. calling echo...

is your motor and clutch like this:

If u have an old clip like I've see then there is no "tab" and is alot more touchy but if u have a new clip then.... Assuming u are familiar with the groove the clip fits in, - take the end of the clip without the tab and wedge it in the groove. my pic doesnt have it but some stihl pistons...

I have one laying around from a neighbor's hosed motor. it is .75OD with .17" square drive. Let me know.

I have a TV... (motor with plastic carb). it wont stay running. prime and it starts. I took off the carb and cleaned everything out so that is is spotless. This is the second one that i came across that acted this way. The first one I tried rebuilding with same results so i dont want to buy and...
