I recommend that you change out all the fuel line hoses, filter, pump and clean up the inside of that carburetor. Empty the tank and clean it as well. I seriously don't think that hose your replacing is your root problem.

Youve damaged the motor. They sell them on Ebay ($50 to $100). Problem is that if you have no mechanical ability to work on it. Like the millions of others in your situation its a very expensive and heartbreaking push to the curb or an opportunity to get your hands dirty and learn.

even with gas leaking out the side of the tank the mower should start. your starting issue lies else ware. as for as fixing the crack? Ive seen people claim you can on YouTube university campus.

Welcome to the new generation of YouTube graduates. Yes, skip through a few videos from clown shows, old Couger flaunting her wrinkled cleavage or drunks in ye ole mower saloon and you become a professional at anything you desire.

His famous last words were "Looking for insight about what I should do or not do. Thanks." Only a consumer and a reputable mower service with excellent customer service would understand my suggestions above. Unless you have a magic wand not you or anyone else is going to fix that mower from...

Sorry to hear your having problems with your mower. I can understand how frustrated you may be. A video I did on YouTube may explain why your mower runs so bad after leaving a service shop. Unfortunately, we are plagued with a world of so-called lawn mower mechanics that have watched a few...

Check out this Video for the fix.

Who you going to believe your eyes or CNN.

Stihl MS saws all share a common problem. Take the muffler of and look at the piston. See those scatches? Check out this video

Most older people that dont worry about it are thinking that their ole gas powered mower will take them through the change for the rest of their lives so why bother. The others that except and defend it are justifying their mistakes. By acknowledging and being aware of the dangers, my...

Very well said

The Danger of Parking Lithium powered Mowers, Bikes ect in the garage or house. Examples of other smaller devices as well and their dangerous surprises.

How long any mower will last depends on how long the owner is willing to allow it to last.

Lot of problems with their frames.

A sharp lawnmower blade is vital to get the job done good an proper

Manufactures use multi weight oils to accommodate the various climates of the world the sell theirs machines. They will also brand that oil, put dye in it and sell it for a ridiculous price and threaten your warranty if not used. My personal mower requires the same as yours. Ive been running SAE...

Welcome back everyone. The guy with the problem went awol last Tuesday. Just may be that he was wanting to know what magic wire he could twist together with another to get it going again. If the sell all cars guy comes back my advice would be to study and understand the atomic bomb schematic...

You need a new cam. Compression release is notorious for breaking on that motor. Its built on the cam. One revolution an and stops is a dead giveaway.

This post reminds me of a video I recently watched. Mower was repaired by a company just good enough to collect that cash and hit the road.. Glad you got it figured out.

By the way cool name. Hope your cub is still running good. Ive rebuilt a few of those pumps in the past and it gets a little pricey. The dealers sit back and wait for it to happen so they can sell another. The trannys are always the most neglected and forgotten component on all these mowers. At...

Helpful video to prevent the blades falling of as your Kubota ages.

Screw it

A business open for 45 yrs doesn't necessarily mean that the person doing the service has been doing it as long. May have been his first day after graduating YouTube University.

good example

I had this exact mower with the same exact problem. It took me a while to figure it out but I did. Problem is tha

What is seriously wrong with people that do this? Where the lots may be small Ive seen heads butt over a few inches of invasion. Not only do they cut your grass it seems that in most every cases its always a depth to the dirt. Ive noticed that they cut the grass several times a week. At my home...

Its those junk plastic carbs. Got to tear the apart every year and clean them. I paid more and got a Kohler on mine. No issues at all.

10w30 with filter sae 30 without filter. Use what you can afford. Name Brands are an over pricing gimmick. More important than what oil you choose is Make sure you got enough of it.

A great start to the solution of clogging decks and abnormal blade wear. Thats why most come here. To find answers. Follow this guys lead and a lot of people old and new will learn a lot. Thanks 7394.

I refer to it as tuff love. We all can use a little now and then.

Why do you keep putting mulching blades back on it? All of the damage that's being done and the packing of grass under the deck is on you and your lack of knowledge for what your doing. Everyone is so quick to knock and blame the people that are putting food on your plate. Punish them by...

I never noticed any problems until after Jan 21 2020. Postage skyrocketed along with gas, groceries and mower parts. Sellers are using the cheapest service they can to ship. That means its slower. Post office has had financial problems for decades but the service has never been better. Postal...

I see 2 layers of old paint. Hard to imagine that deck only 3 years old. Id just find a friend with a welder and just fix it, if its that much a hassle with the warranty stuff.

The only time I had that problem was when I kept seeds for grass and birds in the shed. Cut of the food supply there is something around they are eating.

Your doing more harm than good the longer you keep this machine. Either give it back NO CHARGE or fix it with an aftermarket carb. Its not worth the aggravation and its not worth soiling your reputation over. Blaming everyone and everything else over the problems your having with it makes me...

Highly recommend the American made Bad Boy brand.

Hope im not stealing the thread but, my snow blower wont start. Only if I scratch my head and shoot ether in the breather. If I dont scratch my head it wont start.

Im with you on that. The old gov rod was real flexible. Ive seen these motors purr like a kitten at a lower rpm but this one just refused. My thinking is that by the manual that the real problem was the rpm. 2200 seems higher than most engine idle rpms but thats the specs. Big help to me thanks...

Im with you on the Exmark. Engines are an important factor as well. I prefer the Kawasaki over Briggs and Kohler on the ZTRs. Bad Boy mowers a good choice as well are USA products if you have that kind of preference.

Solved. 2nd new carb and first coil and still backfiring. Went through the manual Rivets hooked me up with and I kept seeing governor over and over. so I focused on that. Replaced the rusty rod that goes from the carb to the lever, very thin and bent easily. Adjusted the Rpms to 3400 high and...

Yes it was an aftermarket carb and i did drill out the jet with no good results. I've sent it back and am trying a different one plus a new coil. The coil was set with a business card. Im guessing around .010. Not thinking the coil is the problem but at this point who knows. Ill try the carb...

That is a sweet manual. Thank you. Gona start digging through it.

Got an ole Tecumseh (ohv155 204508d h) Have tried everything I can think of except a coil and still it backfires through the carb and sounds like in the muffler as well. Mostly at lower speeds. At full throttle it seems like its misfiring. While running I can spray carb clean in the intake and...

Ok Ive thought about it educate me. Think hard yourself my friend. Depending on witch of the 2 depends on the answer for this persons problem. Not sure whats going on here.

Is this the V twin motor your working on or single cylinder?

Sometimes you got to kiss em good by and just get a new one.

Iv done the same thing. BS part for a mower.
