    Where to purchase a new central bolt for a Honda HRR216VKA blades? Links please!

    The model you posted has different variants depending on year. I did look at quite a few of the variants based on your original post. Some came with a hub that the key was cast into it. That hub was superseded to ones that had a slot. Some use the half moon key. I think you need to take photos...

    Back-lash on Superior gearbox.

    if it is adjustable you should find shims or some kind of hub with threads that lets you change the lash by changing the ring gear to pinion clearance. If neither the pinion or differential gears have such an arrangement, it won't be adjustable unless the parts book shows different pitch or...

    b&s 12.5hp flathead riding lawn mower engine smoking - looking for suggestions

    oil can get into the cylinder to burn thru either bad oil control rings, or valve guides. Oil can also be diluted by a defective fueling system where gasoline dilutes the oil, and allows it to be so thin it passes by the rings. Do make sure that the oil is clean and does not have a lot of...

    moisture in oil or over fill can also cause foaming in some systems. If the oil is milky in color or chocolate in color after the foam goes away, it could be a sign of moisture.

    Wind Damage

    pears and wind do not do well together. Sorry about your mess - and the afib is not good either. I was diagnosed with it about 60 days ago and am now on thinners for the rest of my life to help mitigate stroke risk. You might consider seeing if a local gardener has a crew who can remove it.

    Backfire is the name of the game

    there are two or three kinds of "backfires." Is it coming back out the carb? Is it an explosion in the muffler Is it fuel and air igniting outside the exhaust? Is it a random "misfire" that you are hearing? Each has a different cause. You need to do a better job of determining exactly what...

    Actual Manufacture Date of this MTD Battery???

    What happens if you stop some day in the middle of the mowing for five minutes and it doesn't have enough to kick it over - "now what do I do, push it home? It's 100F outside." Generally Lead Acid batteries are good for 4 to 5 years max, the average is 3 - 4. Starters can draw more current and...

    B&S seized 5.0 on push mower

    i'd be spraying a couple squirts of penetrating oil thru the spark plug hole down the cylinder walls because it sounds like the piston rings were rusted to the cylinder. Running that without some lubrication will only tear up the rings.

    This new blue-rye sod has Poa Pratensis and looks like infested Annual Bluegrass contamination.

    call the people who provided you the sod to see if they have any suggestions. If some Canadian goose flew over it and took a dump from 4,000', they will have the same issue from more than one person.

    so you sheared the bolt and the key. No way is that crankshaft not tweaked as a bend or twist. The key flat side usually goes into the crankshaft. Make sure the sparkplug wire is out when you work on it. Torque the bolt to specs. Then make note where one end of the blade is close to the edge of...

    New sod being installed next week. Can/Should a pre-emergent be applied?

    annual blue grass is easy to get rid of. Took me years to believe that but it is. You can use POA Constrictor this time of year, and then late next year just as it starts to cool down, put down a pre-emergent. POA is a cool season and spring grass. It slows or dies in hot weather. Bag your...

    TB-30R (2020) oil change plug cross threaded 🤬

    that is messed up. Take the drain plug to your flaps and ask them for a thread chaser that size. Frankly I think you are looking at a helicoil or threadcert. You may not have cross threaded it, just way over tightened it until it stripped,

    I suspect that it did more than shear the bolt that holds the blades on. It likely bent the crankshaft, certainly damaged the blade. You need the series number to look up the correct part. K4, K5, K6, K7, K8 etc. Look up the full serial number. The K8 for example uses an upper and lower blade...

    Hard starting Tecumseh

    takes 3 things to make an internal combustion engine run - fuel and air, spark at the right time, and compression. One or more is missing or poor. 1. Try spraying a little Berrymans carb spray, like pssst pssst, into the carb. Try to start it. If it starts right up and dies (or keeps going)...

    Champion genset starts and runs with battery, but not with recoil start

    Broken Con Rod 44N677

    My two cents is that when an engine breaks a rod, parts fly around and break other things. To know what is broken you must take it apart. Then if you hand a basket of parts back to the owner they say but I gave it to you assembled. Sometimes you are lucky and maybe only $300 or $400 in parts...

    Dewalt Generator

    I'll lay odds that if you plug in a CO detector or a battery powered one it will trip too. You need to vent the exhaust gasses far enough from the shed that they can't be sucked back into the shed.

    Predator 9500 Generator backfiring on shutdown.

    the ignition coil has a grounding wire (kill wire) attached to it so once it is turned off it has no spark. If that is intermittent due to corrosion at the coil if a spade lug, or at the kill switch then it can ignite the mixture again even though it is turned off. If the exhaust is full of...

    Predator 9500 Generator backfiring on shutdown.

    does the kill wire have a good ground or is it possible rust has built up so the kill wire allows some small amount of voltage to the coil. I've seen a couple videos where the cause of irregular shutdowns was rust and corrosion built up in the kill system, loose spade lug on the coil etc.. Use...

    Broken Con Rod 44N677

    you say "the owner" which implies you are the mechanic. Why are you asking here when you haven't even put in time to see what the damage is. Sort of pointless to ask until you know what you are working with. If you don't want to work on it, put one of these on it and send it home.

    No fuel on cold start

    does it have a fuel cut off? If so the bowl may be leaking down, and it takes time to fill it. Also, if you are using ether for starting fluid, it is a lot more explosive than gasoline. It is possible you are too rich and not too lean. Try a small squirt of gasoline instead of starting fluid and...
