When you turn the key to ON, you should hear a faint 'click' from the front of the engine beneath the Float Bowl. It is the Fuel Shut Off Solenoid opening. If you don't hear that, check further. There is a multi wire connection under the 'dash' near the Ignition switch. Sometimes there is a...

Height of the Gage Wheels is not a big deal. They should be an inch or more above Grade. They do not touch the ground unless uneven ground is encountered. The FRONT of the Deck Should be slightly lower (¼") theroeticaly so the back side does not hit the grass twice and cause brown tips. Be...

It is unlikely that you would notice the difference of 10-20 cc. That is the Piston Displacement like Cu In. on vehicle motors was quoted in. In Racing terms, HP is how fast you hit the wall! Torque is how far you move the wall! You are asking too much of any small push mower. Raise it as...

Use a funnel with a fine screen when refueling. Ethanol fuel lasts for about 30 days before degrading. Don't drain out the last dregs from a tank metal or plastic. That is where the Water is.

Higher Octane Fuel simply burns slower so there is no knock on High (9.7 t0 12:1) Compression engines. You are lucky to be able to buy Ethanol free fuel. Can't in Canada thanks to Lieberals.

I expect the Spark Plug is carboned up due to running rich with the Choke On. Find the number on the porcelain portion of the spark plug and purchase a new one. Carefully remove the old one, check gap on new one. A good time to sharpen blades and change oil if needed.

After such abuse with maintenance it is no wonder. You may have Water in the float bowl. Change the oil, air filter and spark plug.

Nothing available to meet your needs at 3X the budget. Burn knee high grass or get a scythe. Wait til it dries.

I suggest you remove both Terminal cables, clean them to bright metal and put it on a 2 amp 12v charge for 12 hours. A dead battery will freeze and be destroyed in the winter. When it starts, let it warm up to operating temp then drain oil, install new filter, check/replace air filter and...

Ethanol Free gasoline has been banned in Canada thanks to Feds. Ethanol absorbs moisture. Keep containers full and tightly capped. Gasoline does not evaporate to Varnish. Try to use it in 30 days, then get fresh fuel.

I need the LEFT hand Sun Gear (18teeth) for a White branded MTD 10.5 Hp 31" Snowblower. Short shaft too if available. Please call 905 320 2700 Thank You

I can balance it here in SWO for $3,856

The blade spins at high RPM. About 3,000. A slight out of balance is irrelevant.

Ya and the sky is falling.

Connect a known Good Battery to the Starter. + cable to big lug on Starter, Last connection to good Ground on Frame. Starter should rotate. Perhaps try jumpers on all 'safety' switches (3-4).

Good to know. The tranny went out on my X320 at 218 hours. Mostly driven my my late mother. $1,800 for the new one installed (Canadian) Upgrading trans is not possible according to Tuff Torque. They get asked that question daily I was told.

Pull off the Recoil cover and carefully inspect the Keyway and Crankshaft key. Slots should line up exactly. When the blade(s) strike a solid object the key is designed to shear partially or completely so the Crankshaft is not damaged. Replace key with an OEM one.

A dead short by the looks of it due to grounding through worn insulation. Glad you have it repaired.

To make up for unknown quality of socket material.

Yes. It will be fine. Run it.

To be safe, Bolt it on. Done.

It would have been helpful if a photo of the working end was shown close up. Agreed!

Geeeeze people. Take your meds.

Did you check the Valve Lash? Often a problem.

Often at the back side of the unit there is a tag or stamped number. Have you tried a dealer which may have History on your machine? Do you keep the belt tight in Winter and loosen or remove it in Summer? Cheap belts do not last.

I would try using SAE #30 oil which is thicker viscosity.

Be sure the other end of the rod is connected.

For the amount of money you want to spend and avoiding the most popular brands I recommend you get a lawn service to cut your lawn.

Above all else, get Public Liability Insurance and Incorporate. My advice is from experience running a business in Ontario Canada.

You might want to have a Limited or Incorporated Company which prevents people from suing you and taking your home.

Get a customer base First before you buy a mower and truck.

Stick with what you are using now. You may get many oil leaks changing to Synthetic. 10w30.

Look at the replacement part. Probe the seat area gently with a #3 Crochet hook if it is a soft seat and note which way it goes in. Pull it out and replace. Use correct size drill bit, chuck end to press it gently into place. If it is a metal seat, try to find a Viton tipped needle. Good Luck.

You are correct Shady. In a partially filled tank, the air does not 'come in' overnight. What air is in the tank remains until more contents is used. Ethanol absorbs water in the fuel and condensate and remains at the bottom of the tank with it. Don't totally empty a partially filled...

Condensation does not come from Outside the Tank, but forms on the sides of the INSIDE of the tank from any moisture laden air that is already inside a NONvented tank. Done with this nonsense. Keep your tanks Full and rotate often.

Yes.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Possibly.

Be careful with the Methanol. It can seize plastic shutoff valves etc.

Air contains Moisture. A Fuel Tank MUST be vented to allow fuel to flow out, thus fresh air is being constantly drawn into the tank. Covering the fill neck with plastic will help with that if it is a tank not being used for an engine. To store Fuel, fill the tank to the Top and keep in a cool...

Your Sabre is too light and underpowered (16 HP?) to plow much snow. Fix up an older Snowblower 28" or more wide.

Good plan. Check the tender often as they sometimes fail which will lead to a burst frozen battery. Disconnect the Ground (-) cable if you wish. Make sure Tender is working . You could unplug it for a couple weeks then plug it in for a couple weeks.

If it is working, don't fix it. Replace the Spark Plug.

I always use a funnel with a fine screen when filling. It is difficult to find the correct size Viton '0' rings.

Cut the lawn more often @ 3-½" and buy a new Gas Powered Mower while you still can! Take good care of it. Forget all the magic crap. I tried Hi Compression Floor Mats in my Youth. Did not help HP and used more Fuel.

Buy and install new head bolts. Torque them cold and retorque them next day. Be sure your carb is not running 'lean'. Retard timing slightly and try it.

Clean underside of Disc as much as possible Spray with Brakecleener and next day turn it on its' side and spray paint as much as possible. Done.

If it is working don't fix it! If you have an opening fill it with grease or 90 weight oil or both.

Set valve lash on both to .006-.008 and try it.

Well Done Sir. I try to do a good deed and learn something every day. Doesn't always happen but averages out. Check your Oil, clean out your Wallet and buy Wife/GF flowers. Helps your daily odds.
