I have the blades that came with the mower (M143520). Just wondering if the high lift blades, or, mulching blades would be any better? Would like to find one to cut up leaves better than what I have.
I pointed the fly wheel arrow to the ignition module screw (tdc). Didnt have a feeler gauge so I tightened them down (no movement), and backed the nuts off approximately 1/8”. Still pulls a little hard but not like it was. What else to check for? I ordered a gauge.
I’ve noticed it’s very hard to crank the engine while pulling the rope. Lot of resistance. You have to really hold it down while trying to start it. Is this normal?
Looking further I saw the high throttle screw wasn’t touching the speed control lever at all at WOT. Also, the low governor idle speed screw was backed off as well. Is there a preset on these prior to taking it to the dealer? They’re backed up. I had never noticed them before. Basic idle is fine.
Is there an easy way to adjust governor settings? My idle needs adjusting , but, I’m not sure how to do it. I found the idle screw, but, need to adjust high and low governor screws, as they have been messed with.
I removed the cylinder cover and am concerned about which single screw goes back in the rear offset mounting hole facing the trimmer head. There are two different ones and I don’t want to mess up the threads. The parts diagram shows two possibilities:
1. 503216820 Ihscft screw
2. screw Ihscft...
Thanks for your help. BTW, I wish OPE would have handled that a little differently. It was my decision, but, it looks like they kicked me off. Wish they would change that. Have nothing against them.
Wasn’t aware that I did. Only had one post. This is the same reply I got there. Tried to start a conversation with you, but, it wouldn’t let me. No big deal it was my decision. Just trying to fix my trimmer. Thanks
