Try Goliath. Billy is an attorney in that. Good show with lots of hotties.

Total joke my guy. This board is too serious. It was a joke. Just like spark arrestors on trimmers and such. If you say remove one, some folks get all EPA fired up.

Valve arrangement makes zero difference to me Rivets. If the OP doesn't choose to keep his machine in spec that's on him. I actually learned on L-heads. They like OHV's are simple. Listing all the negative side effects doesn't help anyone. Got to crack an egg to make an omelette.

You can't do that on here. It is a felony. People will get upset if you bypass it. :p

Look at the grime on the valve cover. Scared to pull the shroud and look at some cooling fins. Oh and nice air filter LOL. One of those racing ones that flow a lot of air, and dirt LOL.

That is a pretty small O-scope you got there.

Clean the pilot circuit if it has one and adjust the choke proper. Wouldn't hurt to clean the fuel tank like a new one, as in spotless. New fuel line from tank to carb. Make sure you have a solid stream of fuel AT the carb inlet. Drain it in a glass jar. Also look for water in the bottom of the...

Pull the oil dipstick and smell for fuel.

Really think you are jumping the gun here. Set the valves proper. See what you have after. 90psi with a compression release cam, if yours has one, sounds good to me. A Briggs can run on 35psi LOL. Compared to what? Are you sure you are getting full throttle? Would not surprise me that the...

Corrosion has zero to do with magnetism. Just wasting your time. I still knock the rust off when I can admittedly.

Yup. Take your mower and scalp your yard. You will have clippings a plenty or I do on my yard. Tifway Bermuda is tiny bladed Bermuda. Has mountains of clippings each spring. Baggers and scalpers need the fins cleaned more often than once yearly. Only takes a few minutes to pull the shroud off...

Yes yours will work on your engines. Is it the "proper" tool for small engines, no. Will you get a reading with yours yes. You want a stub gauge for small engines. A foot long hose will skew your reading.

Pull off the top engine shroud. Clean the cooling fins as well as the entire engine block. Yearly maintenance in your engine manual. Neglect this and risk engine damage.

Proper valve adjustment on the tight side of in-tolerance would be advised. See what you get after with a compression gauge FOR SMALL ENGINES. Not some 454 chevy compression gauge with a foot long hose.

Agree with Skippy. Once a year wash, no power wash might be okay. Blow off with compressed air and fog with silicone spray. Lube throttle cables and wax the deck. Blow out the cooling fins all around the block area and behind mufflers. Hit it with the backpack blower after every mow.

Used to buy a 750 Holley 3310 vac secondaries for that way back in the day LOL.

Fully agree with this. If your engine oil is at say 275F+, then I can see to start, looking at a cooler. Under 275F I would pass. I like that new German oil called Good-N'-Hot.

Kubota is not coming to your door fixing anything. Might have paint on the pulley causing a slight slip. Look at how much slack you have in the belt. You can order 10 of the same brand, size, color and pitch belts. Kevlar or no kevlar. Every one will be a different size. Be it a small...

I'm all confused........

Get a slightly smaller belt. Or add another spring to add more belt tension if possible on your machine.

Lastly recommend you download your engine manual. Look at the carb area for proper choke operation. These engines have a tricky setup. Once you read it you will understand what I'm talking about. I've bought several of these with the carb linkages all fouled up. Set back proper they run like a top.

Use silicone grease on the O-ring.

AND, AND clean the engine block and head (cooling fins) of all that oily dirt buildup I'm seeing. These are AIR COOLED engines. If you have a mummy wrap of grit and grass, she won't cool down proper. Clean your cooling fins while you are there. Clean fins is a yearly, or more often, maintenance...

Must say the white paint is brilliant. I was worried when you said wire wheel. I would of tried a rust converter first, once I saw the numbers LOL. Or a brass bristled wheel. I use an oily red shop rag to highlight those numbers. That paint leaves zero guess work. Nice job.

Welcome to the best mower forum on the interscreen. Air, fuel, spark at the right time and compression are required. 1.Fuel cap venting. Hardly ever the cause. 2.Lack of fuel delivery or dirty carb. Trash in the fuel tank outlet normally covers your main complaint. 3.Stripped flywheel key...

Plastic bag doesn't seal like these new spouts do with rubber gaskets and O-rings. You can tip the can over and not spill any with a new spout.

Or Rolls Royce Aviation for those prices LOL. WOW!!!

For me it's mainly rubber fuel line and trimmer lines that would dry out and crack.

Same here.

So Deere has been putting computers and all these electronics all over the equipment. Killing the farmers and basically everyone that buys their over priced junk. When one part fails, costs thousands to get it going again. Stop buying Deere products. Make them hungry for our business. Maybe...

You can put three coolers on if you wish. Use Rolls Royce aviation turbine oil if you like. Just don't see much of a benefit, from my poor eyes. Just a mower engine.

All of this is from Google using YOUR search words. As we will see, I captured every paragraph link and posted here for all to see. Notice the SOURCES on the right side of the screen grabs. None are credible.

Glad to hear she is running. Does this have a good paper fuel filter on her? Good clamps on both sides? New fuel line from tank to carb? Do you have an old fuel can with say maybe an open top? If so, get a new style spout. You can buy just a spout. Help keep trash and water out of your fuel...

Okay, got it. But there are a ka'-zillion mowers out there with say no oil filter or even full pressure lube. Talking about air cooled engines here. Oil needs to get hot, fast, and burn off any moisture in the crankcase. In cars quicker warm ups equates to better mpg. Mowers people don't care...

Someone please explain the benefit of an oil cooler?

What was the fix action? Dirty carb?

He should of been asking what that plug/bolt was for in his picture. Next to his engine numbers.

I nearly always stay out of your number 7 requests for help. Most people, well, they shouldn't even own a mower.

No doubt. Enjoys the days boys. Happy Holidays from us to you and yours.

If you find a video with your engine you are golden. Or look for shiny spots where springs could of resided. Like there is black paint missing from one small spec. Maybe a spring could of went there. Find the throttle plate. Move it with your finger. Listen for the revs to go up and down. A...

Look up your engine on youtube. Should be a video of the springs you want. Take pictures next time so one doesn't forget where they go. Or maybe yours was missing??

Most people fill the tank, prior to mowing. Or when Joe Smith takes his 0-turn in for service, they hook the wires up to battery power. Or this new wonder light makes the tank leak and burns Mrs. Smith's house down WITH their shiny new mower. Danger Danger Willie. How are you going to see...

I know you are more than smart enough to skin this cat. Grind threads off the strap as to not over slam the threads and eventually warp the tank. Thread locker will help here. A strip of pipe insulation or foam double sided tape under the strap. Something to buffer the tank from movement. Weld...

You guys having this fuel starvation issue. Recommend buying a new style, pain in the rump, fuel can. Those old ones with open tops slash missing caps got to go. All they do it let trash into your can passing it to your mower tank. Not to mention water and E-10 issues. Your can might be good...

Dude, plastic weld it up. If it was plastic that is. Did you get the replacement Rolls Royce part or what? LOL

You got mice or squirrels? You storing this out in the rain and such?

Think the fan deal might be overkill. Simple daily wind should suffice. Your mower so build it up if you like. As you are doing, build some kind of lean-to shed deal'io.

Anti-sieze is your friend.
