iF IT HAS A METAL SHIELD ON THE PLUG WIRE CAP, THE INSULATOR IN IT CAN CRACK AND THE THE SPARK JUMPS TO THE METAL SHIELD AND IS CONNECTED TO THE BASE OF THE PLUG AND NEVER GETTING TO THE GAP. tHEN YOU PULL OFF THE CAP AND CHECK THE SPARK WHEN THE METAL SHEILD CANNOT GROUND THE SPARK SO THINGS...

minimum idle speed is 1750 rpm. Do not expect it to run normal below that as it is not designed for that low a carb flow.

You do not change the shaft!!!!!!!!The blade adapter he spoke of comes off the shaft and is replaceable.

A bad cylinder or stuck rings or scored piston will show high compression on a brisk pull. Pull the cord slowly. If little resistance is felt, compression is inadequate, leaking by on a slow pull telling the story and no transfer fuel from the crankcase and run proper. If a cap full of gas in...

This is total normal. Outer part shinny cause it is the first cut and the lift forces the cut material up and towards the center. the upwards bent section acts like a fan pulling material that was cut downwards. The finer stuff stays on the ground and the heavier stuff is recycled by the blade's...

There are a number of things to verify before replacing the coils. each coil has one high tension lead and either one or two small wires. If only one, usually black, remove it and test for spark. If you now have spark, the harness and interlocks are the fault or switches. IF each coil has two...

You have a mid coil short to the clutch body that when grounded provides fewer turns, more current, less magnetism, so high current an no function untill the metal is not touching ground ( what electrical people call a floating ground). So the circuit is different when the frame of clutch has a...

Those plastic ( nylon) pieces allowed the pulley to turn more freely without wearing things hen not mounted. They are still available but not shown on all IPL. Less than a month ago, someone wanted them, and I gave them the part number, and they bought on-line. Most of what you are after (...

You have a fuel delivery problem or water or both.

3 part numbers for cylinder - 394687, or 394900 which supersedes to 497075. I have a 497075 in surplus stock I will sell for reasonable price, but suggest you make a list of needed parts and see what is available. Right now the website to check stock on cylinder current price and stock is down...

You will be sorry if you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second the clearance issue. valve lash is critical and so is the procedure. Buy the manual for your engine, they are resonable.

Weak spark is not the problem. If a visible spark, no matter the appearance , you have spark. The appearance is merely an effect of the air in vicinity of the spark. the killovolts necessary to jump the gap are either enough to jump the gap or not enough and no spark.

I agree with his suspect issue.

agree

When I go up hills to the right it start blowing Blue Smoke blown head gasket is the only symptom that produces this exact symptom. If you can repeat this up at an angleat a step angle to left or right side down hill and it immediately starts the blue smoke - head gasket. Then you have to...

a) battery can be damaged overenight. check voltage at starter when cranking, if under 9volts, chase issue. b) hydrolocked c) can not start till motor whirls about 300 rpm, anything less generates no spark by magnet induction on spark moduals.

Perfect answer. Believe it.

that mower has a plastic housing any any shop that has worked on a few will tell you there are fasteners embedded in the plastic serving as a nut with rust and are inaccessible so when you try to take it apart, you will loose the battle.

these are good tests to tell if it is lean. If issues seems unresolved or you are getting black smoke when no glowing, then it may be a hyd vaalve issue. There have been a few service bullitins on these lifters. IN addition, do not discount a prior report that an aftermarket fixed jet carb is...

Google battery sulfation and learn. So now you prove which batteries are best - All I am saying is Interstate is not inferior, nor did I say Deka was, all I said is (all lead acid) batteries can be damaged by being dead and allow Sulfation to progress. This is a known chemical process. Foot in...

1) we have worked on these, and warranty shop's can get info to diagnose. 2) charger shuts off and does not turn back on even if all connected. Unplug charger and hook it up and see if will charge. 3) a completely dead or near dead battery that got drained to next to zero will not be allowed to...

You complain about quality, and your experience may lead you to that but my experience is different. I have 55 years service experience and have seen the cheap ones outlast the expensive ones at times. Every model, no matter who made it, has it's strengths and weaknesses, some worse than others...

You do not have to do this - a warranty shop should replace this for you but it will be a shop authored by the tranny maker unless Troy will come forward ahead of repair. At 300 hours it is a faulty unit from the word go. There is one thing not mentioned. On some units, the bypass can be held...

not enough data. 1) governed idle, 2) decompression system, 3) governor links/throttle links/governor spring or setting, 4) static governor adjustment, 5) idle stop screw, 6) carb adjustment or replace original carb, 7) combination of any of the above.

It sounds like a typical weak battery that had enough juice to start once and is drained. the on board charge is slow to recover a battery. if battery voltage sages below 9 volts when an attempt to crank, then battery is either bad or in need of charge. All hydro lock issues are also possible...

One spindle may have been replaced with a different spec bolt.

A better way to make this test is to monitor the voltage at the B+ terminal and then the Motor terminal on the starter both in key off and key on. If at least 9 volts is present on key on, the starter is drawing current and should do it's job. If no voltage hits the motor terminal of 9volts or...

Well I can not believe all the long possibilities. The most likely issue is someone hit something and partially or completely sheared the flywheel key causing advanced timing and kickback. Pull the top down and remove flywheel nut and inspect the key very closely. If any, and even minor offset...

Dana is now spicer. Thus a manual will be found. I am away from the shop resources but do feel a maula is available. http://vrr.dyndns.biz.

most tiller seals in the dirt running area are double sealed. one in with seal lip in to hold oil in, one outside to keep dirt out, usually a different seal to resist erosone. Thus replacement by picking the old out is more difficult.

I disagree interstate is in any way inferior. Yes battery quality is by far an issue. The best battery will be severrly or completely damaged by being dead for 24 hours by allowing sulfation to destroy it.

That battery needs to be load tested and I would bet it is toast. There is a reason that even Interstate only offers a 6 month warranty on these batteries. They sit to many days with nothing happening and the charging systems are marginal if the unit is run at lower rpm's. 300 cranking amps is...

I agree but also agree with prior comment that RC14yc is better. We see that as almost a normal change on so many units, it becomes habit. These are not a full heat range hotter, only a half or 3/4 step up.

Also if the muffler is plugged no air flow/exhaust will flow thru. Also you say the compression feels right - but pull it over slow. If is has very little resistance the cylinder leakage is not good. At a slow pull the compression should not leak off overly significant, at a fast pull it will...

I think that model has an automatic choke and a few service bulletins - even without bulletins it sounds like lean at attempt to start which means choke however it is operated.

examine the belt and report any thing found. Examine all rubs and tracking and report. Feel the idlers without tension and report. swing the tensioner and insure take up will happen. View design path of installation of belt is proper. Talk to factory tech if nothing found.

So no matter the condition of your battery, read the battery voltage before starting it and after a full charge. Note that at rest voltage ("Static") - lets say it is 12.6 and charger is off it for 2 min before the reading. Then start the motor and see what the voltage is at idle and at full...

changing your mowing pattern will also help. Rolling the lawn will help. dual tires will help. 2 pounds less in the tires will help. A tail wheel with adjustable down pressure will help.

If you jump start at the solenoid, you have bypassed the permission to crank circuit which is probably the cause, so it does not mean it is the solenoid, but one or the other is most likely.

I second the fuel solenoid - and add they can be very intermittent and also may only stroke partially so that under load or higher rpm you run out of fuel.

Your engine when parked is filling the top of cylinder(s) with oil or gas. when you crank it over by hand or have run it and start it up soon after running, the oil or gas in the cylinder has been pushed out so the piston can travel full stroke. Both oil or gas or both cannot be compressed. Oil...

No!! All designs of recent equipment has had to comply with the Clean Air Act, thus less oil , and LESS LUBRICATION. We have never condemned so many 2 cycle items as in recent years. Mix at 32 to 1 for engine life for everything rated 32 or 50 or 100 to 1. Just saying reasons for everything, and...

This video is in error to the extent that gas is not pushed by the primer bulb. It presureizes the bowl over gas chamber to push down on the gas in the bowl to push the gas up the main jet tube and into the carb throat.

I would stick to 20W-50, syn, blend, or other - but 20w-50 for thermal weight that will not bypass and score and film properly.

Most all hydro's MUST use the exact oil recommended. Anything different will cause problems.

Kohler offers the body and the proper connectors that lock into the connector body as individual parts. Off hand I do not know the pn'S BUT that is one source. I stock them for just the issue you have and have to rebuild many harnesses.
