Yeah but I wasn't really testing the valve stem and I'm wondering about what you're saying regarding the gauges cuz it's a real pia to use that gauge I would prefer one where you can just press down on the valve stem without some sort of angle feature built into the tire pressure gauge itself I...

I told you I couldn't get a reading which was true what I failed to say is I actually got the video of me letting air out of the tire so there's nothing wrong with the valve stem being clogged

Okay start tech it has to warm up a bit I'll check it again if we get temperatures near 40° f soon I didn't spend a lot of time trying to get a reading on the other tire like maybe 5 seconds and trying to avoid getting my knees on the ground cuz I might not be able to get back up. Jim

So it took a while I don't know why to get a reading on the rear right tire but it's about 10 lb PSI the rear left tire seems to be inflated even more I couldn't even get a reading on that again I don't know why that is the case but the one I got the 10 PSI on I'm pretty sure it was the one that...

Every time I see more replies to this it motivates me more to get outside to make a movie like not photoshopped kind of movie just a movie of what the tire pressure is on both tires in the rear and then post it to YouTube cuz I like to know myself I see people all the time filling their car...

Okay the product I bought is called road instant fix it's not Fix-A-Flat I don't know what the difference is and time will tell on that but as far as I know it's not the same product it's probably as different as slime I didn't look into the ingredients on any of them I just used it and it...

Does it hold air or not in the future. I will see on that also if it warms up today I definitely want to get a PSI on that tire or both in the rear

I got you but for me I used that fix flat stuff whatever maybe about 5 months ago and I'll see how it does for me as far as what you're referring to and just overall does the tire hold there or not. Jim

Grumpy cat forgive me if you did not discuss the possibility of rust if it wasn't you then it was someone else but I thought about that too I can tell you in this house there's cast iron and after 70 years the rust went right through the cast iron so it created a small hole but if rush develops...

You are correct I used the slime product and that did not work and then I used that other product called road instant fixes flat tire. And I thought about this after I made my original post and I was wondering if the slime product although it did not work acted as a primer in some way and...

I'm not sure if you're still having a problem but I have a lt2000 the rear tire kept going flat and like little engine mentioned I tried that slime stuff and that did not work but what I did find that works and is still working because it's still holding air is a product called road instant flat...

Carbhub 594605 Carburetor for 594605 792768 591734 594603 Single Cylinder Engine Replacement Carburetor - 594605 Carburetor That's the carburetor I bought that eventually worked perfectly my engine is a 19.5 horsepower single OHV engine now whether that's the spec for yours or not I don't know...

Generally speaking I can offer you this advice I bought a new carburetor installed it and for 6 weeks I was troubleshooting problems that really didn't exist meaning after 6 weeks I purchased another carburetor I installed it not a problem in the world with the engine. I did purchase a...

I don't see how there's a relationship between the mower deck and the problem you're having did the engine actually run okay before you messed around with the pulleys secondly it sounds like if you can't see the rocker arm moving then something happened to that push rod assuming I'm thinking of...

I just wanted to follow up today regarding this lt200 0 riding mower with a 19.5 horsepower Briggs& Stratton OHV engine. Back in early June. The muffler wore the engine was smoking so I changed the valve cover gasket and the head gasket. I also changed the oil and it may not have been the...

31P677-3373-G2 Briggs and Stratton Engine I've been using this for many things, including the flywheel fan that doesn't fit and I'm wondering if I should be looking up something that ends in G1

No doubt they have been. It's a very difficult situation. Course. You're doing the best they can. They're not here. They're not listening and seeing what I am and it's difficult but I'm pushing ahead forward with it. Fella mentioned carburetor it's interesting how that choke butterfly no longer...

It might be but not for the setup I have. But if you buy it brand new it looks like that. So the choke lever and going by another carburetor is very springy and somehow all the springiness of the carburetor which is brand new is gone out of it. The other thing, I'm pretty sure I went to the...

So I looked at a picture of the brand new carburetor and there is a hole on the carburetor with threads and there's nothing in it so maybe it came that way. Maybe nothing is missing except the choke lever no longer has any spring to it even though there's a spring

I can't upload the photo but there's a screw apparently I see and. So it's a brand new carburetor and I see threads looking down near the choke plate area on top and there's some sort of that might go in there. A screw goes in there I think and maybe that explains the extra air coming in

So it says four-cycle SAE 30 oil

So it says four-cycle SAE 30 oil. It's over where all the lawn mower stuff is at this big box store. Let's say I'm pretty sure it's the right thing

So I just went back outside and I want to be very specific about what happened. So I started the engine up which is no problem. I then pushed the throttle lever into the choke position and it started to struggle a bit which is what you had explained. So there's a fine line between the thing...

Forget about my square feet measurements. Let's say 220 ft long by 100 ft wide, whatever that equals. And that was like 15 to 20 minutes worth of cutting. And as I recall the temperatures were maybe 500° maybe 600 on the exhaust pipe when I got done

I just saw your response. Thank you. I will go check it out and report back here especially with the oil. But it's strange because I was able to cut maybe 1,200 square feet like 4 days ago. The blade wasn't really correct in various components but that took like maybe 20 minutes and everything...

So today July 30th 2024 I just ran it for about 5 minutes. I was actually cutting grass it seem like the governor was kicking in more than normal. I shut it down. I took the temperature with a thermal gun. The thermal gun can't register the temperature because it's too hot and the video above to...

I'm not sure about what you're saying but the box came today. It says Briggs& Stratton on it and it looks like it is identical. I threw the box away but it seems to me to be the same exact setup.

Well right now. Hopefully there are no issues. This has been 7 weeks of constant problems. I'm sure a small engine mechanic would have that solved and maybe the first 7 hours but the cooling fan or fins. The plastic fins plus couple other parts just came. So I'm going to put those on. The only...

And the only thing additional on this topic. Up until a couple months ago I had a digital tachometer mounted on the dashboard and where the blades fully engaged. This thing maintained a steady RPMs of around 3,500.

If anyone has ever done something similar, that's the question?

One thing I can say about high temperatures at the exhaust pipe. I was looking for thermal sensors for high heat and basically end up with a bunch of grilling tools but the idea was to wrap something around the exhaust pipe so I could see exactly what was going on and have the readout on the...

Don't you just love it when some people say something that makes so much sense other people jump. Jim

I am going to listen to what you said. There's no doubt about it so I will order that kit that comes with the plastic fins and that cup made out of metal and maybe one other thing

Thank you very much for your Stern warning. I was just going to run it with broken partially broken fins. I'm hoping right now since I don't even have the belt for the mower deck, but even running it for 5 or 10 minutes isn't going to do significant harm to it. I did run it maybe half hour ago...

So while all this was going on I was looking for something that I could use and I bought a used twin v. It's a yard machine. Overall I would say it's a very heavy very well-made machine. Hydrostatic 42-in 17 and 1/2 horsepower but it is a twin v and I didn't even want to try and fix that by...

Tonight was the first time I was able to drive the riding mower around the yard without any adjustment on the carburetor so I took a ride out of the box. It runs pretty good from having a tachometer on the machine, but not right now. I'm guessing it's probably running like 2800 RPMs without any...

I put everything back and I was just wondering about the temperatures so I have a thermal gun and I started the mower up. It starts up pretty good. No more hunting and searching so thanks to a brand new carburetor that issue seems to be resolved, but I'm still concerned about what happened 6...

Well after many attempts right now it seems to be running okay. The temperatures are still kind of high. A brand new carburetor from Amazon out of the box needed. No adjustments. It's the other one is probably garbage and I wouldn't know it because of so many things going wrong. But since I...

Turn the governor shaft clockwise they say

July 21st about 1:00 p.m. I made sure the governor was set correctly so throttle on high throttle turn the governor shaft to the left. Don't force it. Tighten it up. Made sure the intake manifold gasket was properly installed. That's tight. Brand new fuel line. Brand new fuel filter. Brand new...

Okay, thanks for this this explanation. I appreciate it. I did find when I put my hand over the plastic intake that's part of the carburetor. It definitely affects the hunting and surging and smooths it out. Closing the choke by hand on that butterfly has the same effect. It's just when you're...

Just did another test with a commercial fan blowing air away from the cylinder head and a thermal gun registered. OH that stands for overheating of the thermal gun so the temperature was up around 900° f. I have trouble believing this is all related to a carburetor, but I'm not ruining out that...

The only thing I will add is sometimes when I run it for a few minutes the temperature is under say 600° f and sometimes I run it and the temperature is up near 800° f and I can't figure out why that's going on? I use an external commercial fan for cooling because I have that engine housing off...

So right now I'm able to tame the hunting and surging by doing nothing more than adjusting by holding on to the black lever on the carburetor which controls the choke. But basically when you block off air, there's no more hunting and surging pretty much.

So I just watched the video on the actual filter and this guy claims he spoke to numerous Briggs and Stratton engineers. He said it doesn't matter except if you've been collecting dirt on one side in the filter and you reverse it because you're doing another install. All that dirt could end up...

Okay for that test. I was able to smooth it out a bit, but I want to repeat that test several times primarily to get more gas, get a better fuel line and make sure I have the fuel filter pointing in the right direction. But like I said, it seems as if when I control the throttle linkage with my...
