When you don't have the tool, make one. Grind the deep socket wall down till it fits. Easy right?

Pictures pictures please. Post them up here.

Just waiting on someone to offer up the fix that never fixes anything. Going to heavier oil LOL LOL LOL LOL . What color smoke is it blowing? Like this?

I like the shots fired call when mine winds down.

Like most items they install the smallest wire that doesn't catch fire and the device somehow works. Just learned that spray juice you glob on battery terminals is just a fine viscous grease in a can. I like those felt doughnuts. Slobber in grease then put terminals on. Keeps the acid away.

I leave fuel in all my gear. Had to put new fuel lines and such nearly ever year in something. They dry out internally and externally stored in the garage over winter. Cracks and such set in. Started using Stabil year round. Never a fuel slash hose problem again. Starts on 1-3 pulls in early...

Carb needle and seat hanging open. Time to rebuild or clean the carb. What color smoke? Pull the plugs. Bet they are black. Clean and regap. Carb issue yes, fuel pump no. Would just crank and crank and crank and crank without any fuel.

You guys need to try Linux Lite. If you can run Windoze, an easy stretch running Linux. No need to find unobtanium drivers and many other easy things if does on it's own. No need to load or find a printer driver........ No viruses and Linux people don't poo-poo where they eat.

So true so true. On every air cooled engine out there. More often if bagging or scalping. Some riding baggers can dump grass up high and get sucked into the shroud. And when you empty said bags it pours out all over the engine.

Does this have a carb solenoid on it?

ok has some miles on her. Typically a main jet is clogged or a dead cylinder if you have two. Make sure you have a solid flow of gas AT the carb inlet. From 2006, that carb is probably plugged up. So are these carbs OEM Kawasaki parts? Or Chinese Scamazon/Fleabay? What do the plugs look...

Moral of this story is CLEAN YOUR COOLING FINS. Swear this has been posted on here buy one of us. (y):D

Air, fuel, spark and compression. Good places to start. Find out which you are lacking. SLOWLY hit the primer. Does it fill up the bulb with fuel? Don't smash it like you are trying to draw blood. It will bring more air into the carb. Primer bulb should draw mixed fuel from the tank sending it...

11 is terrible. Added more buttons to get to where you were trying to get to in windoze 10. 11 has more back door, three letter entitie spying capability added of course.

Makes it $11,000+ out the door. You can buy several years of lawn crew service where they mow it for you. You don't have to cut any grass, sweat all over yourself in the summer, maintain that monster machine and store it. Fuel and so on........ You sit on the couch drinking a cold one watching...

For??? Oh I get it. It got sucked inside the engine. Case closed LOL.

Some local schools slash vo-techs will do the labor for free. You buy the parts. Worth a free phone call I bet.

If all else fails, take it to a machine shop or local vo-tech welding/metal shop. A bushing should be easy to swap with correct tools.

Yup yup.....

Don't forget all the massive rutting going on with those 2,000+ pound behemoths. Turf compaction every time you mow. Going over it again and again and again and again and again trying to get the clippings small enough to pass for a nice looking lawn. If you have hard pan clay soil like I do, a...

They self prime. Mine works great. I feel lazy as to not having to crawl under the car and dump oil all over the garage floor LOL. Kinda like cheating on an oil service.

How are you to burn, water?

Normally in OKC, we have a summer drought. Could be your grass is drying out letting the mower sink to the dirt resulting in a lower cut. Raise the deck if you want a taller cut. I know what I said about drying out sounds weird. I have some Zoysia that FLOATS my entire mower with me on it. You...

Either your scanner tool is not updating as in you are looking at live data or something. Pulling the wire off the temp sensor should tell the computer the block is say -40F or something crazy out of the norm. This should be no different than a car engine. The temp sensor is like the...

What does the spray pattern look like? Tells me the injector/s are dirty and or low fuel pressure. Should be a misting cone like pattern. A tiny squirt like a male child urinating is not good. Take a 9v or 12v battery. Energize the injectors. Spray carb cleaner backwards if possible. Then...

Which one are you going to use? GG makes more than one product.

What does the spray pattern look like?

Dirty injector? Okay got to ask? Is this water or air cooled? If no radiator, have you cleaned the cooling fins? Spark strong all the time or do you lose spark?

I'm not a mower EFI xpert. I would stop buying new parts and TEST what you already have. All those new parts are suspect till you confirm they actually work. From what you wrote, I would guess you still have some trash in the fuel system. Was the fuel can an old style with maybe an open top...

Got one off Scamazon for 25 bucks. Has 12v battery leads on it for power. Nice long tube to extract used oil.

Plastic seat back to a steel seat pan? What material to what?

Use it to clean parts. Don't throw it away guys. Or spray it on your wooden stockade fence. 100 plus year old farmers trick to preserve the wood.

Keep what you have. New doesn't mean new these days like it used to. Older machines are built better.

Would guess at the R1000 "Terminator" Mower was built to sling instead of bag. Don't know the type of blades you have on it now. Some blades are for bagging and some for slinging, high lift and low lift. Your deck looks like a low lift design to me. You definitely want high lift blades if you...

Good on you my friend. Sitting over the winter is old fuel. Pull the plug/s and clean them. Suck out the fuel tank then drain the carb fuel bowl as txmowman said. Blow out the fuel lines. Add fresh E-zero gas. Make sure the choke is working. Pull air filter looking for fuel flooding into the...

:oops:

You have to match the blade to the deck type.

Grass wet or cutting too much at one time. Speed too fast. Poor deck and blade match.

Sure, solvents/acids can eat the foam.

To me looks like one too many springs, installed wrong, over stretched and wrong hole as others said. Reduce spring tension to lower revs.

You can oil it as the others said, if done correctly. Saturate it in SAE 30W then gently wring it out inside a new clean red shop rag. Filter inside the rag trying to remove all excess oil. That is how Briggs says to do. Do what you can to stop all dirt and grit getting into the rings and bore.

Have to ask. Are the cooling fins clean and open? Little late now I guess.

Tank should be cleanable. Muratic acid or what ever you like to remove interior rust. Rust converter, motorcycle tank cream, nuts and bolts...... Vinegar will take a while. Acidic acid is nice and gentle. Make sure the fuel pick up tube is not cracked. Taryl has a video of how to make one out...

Grass chute might be clogged. Blades on upside down. RPM too low. Blades not spinning.

Don't think so. Just looking to improve the filter seal is all. Trying to stop grit passing the filter. What I am talking about mainly is that Briggs 491588S blue rectangle paper job. Common on Toro pushers and many more.

Used to run machines dry in the fall. Fuel lines would dry up, crack and leak. Replaced lines either yearly or bi-yearly. This is in 2 and 4 strokers. Now use Stabil year round. Leave fuel in the machines year round. Never have to worry "how old is this fuel" anymore. Fuel lines get replaced...

All I know is gasoline, insurance all types, groceries, toilet paper, medicine, cold beer, housing prices, spark plugs and so on are more expensive than the last guy in office. Realistically, we are all getting price jacked. They do it we pay it. Most are still on that fake covid scare company...

Thank Joe and Kam' la. Better get out and vote.

Did you get this ironed out yet? What was the fix action please?

Get an inline spark tester. See if she loses juice after 30 mins. Make sure the ignition coil has a good ground. Parts heat up and lose connections......
