so you think it doesnt have anything to do with the valves or compression release?

I’m confused, are you saying set the valves to .004 and then set it to .002? Why?

btw what do you mean by "no joy and adjust inlet down to 0.002" so it isn't really common for the compression release to fail on my 283H07? it was just for the 21-31 series that had the failing cam?

i am kinda scared to mess with the valves after I adjusted them on a craftsman T1600 with a briggs 19hp gold engine and the compression release got messed up, which appears too be too common on those. is it common for the compression release to get messed up on my briggs 16hp 283H07 engine or...

I have a craftsman LT1000 and when I start it with a NEW battery that wasn't on a maintainer, half of the time it just turns to when the flywheel gets tighter and the starter starts squealing. I'm not sure if the alternator is worn or the voltage regulator is blown ( i can't locate it anyway)...

just to clarify it only surges at the lower 1/3 or the throttle, at medium or high throttle it doesn't surge

alrighty, lets do it!

hi

i just bought this carburetor yesterday, installed everything and it runs great... but its surging. It came with a few spare parts that I had no idea what they were. The mower had been sitting in a field for the past two years but we got it out and I replaced some stuff. Thanks for your time in...

I have a gray craftsman LT1000 with a 16HP Briggs and Stratton engine and there seem to be no sources to find the model number of my carburetor. Specifically, I am looking for the right float needle because the ethanol in the gas gummed everything up. No listings seem to have the metal piece on...

working on a total junkpile john deere rx75. this isn't fun.

the lever is disconnected from that shaft or something sticking up here

Thanks, finally got it started but it won’t move forward or backward and it might be because the parking brake lever is totally disconnected. Will post a pic of the broken assembly.

now i just need instructions for a carburetor adjustment

I just bought a John Deere RX75 riding mower and need help troubleshooting. It turns over with no problem, there is suction in the carburetor, and I replaced the spark plug but it still won't start. I will take the carb off tomorrow to deep clean it because it probably needs it but it won't...

nope not hydro locked i took sparkplug out and it was still hard

well, a few weeks later the engine is pulsing, no matter what the adjustment on the needles :l

my snapper sr1028 with a B&S 28A707 engine just won't idle smooth! it pulses no matter what the needle is set to (there is only one needle). and when it is a little bit below half throttle it the engine bogs down. any help would be appreciated asap, thanks.

the model-type-code is 28A707-0118 01-9401134D thanks

I have a snapper SR1028 and I think it is getting too much gas. i just need the proper adjustments for the needles. any help is appreciated, thanks

I got a Snapper SR1028 a few days ago and yesterday I cleaned the carburetor because it had some crud in the bowl. I reassembled it and there was a lot of gas going to the carburetor now, which was a good sign because there was no gas going to the carb yesterday. I pull-started it a few times...

sorry to say it, but you probably have a transmission issue 😱😭

lol

yup

and now when I crank it over with the key it will turn a bit, but then stop, and the solenoid makes a squealing noise

I didn't take the video

haha, no, that was just a video I found on what it sounded like, it IS a riding lawn mower

yeah, I put a gasket on THIS time, it took me hours to get the OHV valve cover off

essentials list: 1. get a weed whacker, Stihl, OR CRAFTSMAN 2. get an edger (optional) any brand is good 3. grass fertilizer and a fertilizer spreader SCOTTS 4. new lawnmower blades (if the mower is old, used, or you want a really clean cut) 5. Bluetooth work headphones or AirPods (if you don't...

well, depending on the property size, you might need more or less tools. how big is the property? how much of the property do you have to mow? is your lawn mower new or used and old?

you can trust Kawasaki, you're better off not even touching a Kohler engine, they really arent that good

this is what it sounds like

are there weights on the tires?

do you think the banging noise is a problem? I'm guessing it's just cuz I'm used to it running on valves gapped at 0.09

I found the leak, and I DID have to take the exhaust off, but honestly, the hardest part of this WHOLE repair was getting the OHV COVER OFF?, the head bolts weren't hard to get off and the exhaust bolts were a piece of cake. I started it late at night and I noticed it does have a slight more...

so, yesterday I replaced the head gasket and at first, I couldn't see where the leak was, but then I found this...

all right

nice! gotta love those craftsman riding lawn mowers!

so, when I get the head gasket sometime tomorrow, is there anything I should look out for or do or be careful about?

Yes i do

yep, we ordered a head gasket

our house was 5 mins away, we drove slow on a road

I use this one on my older craftsman mower: https://www.gccpd.com/product.asp?itemid=65572&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm6PXovmR9wIVuRmtBh0ykAmqEAQYASABEgIc3fD_BwE I love it!

I will never in my life buy a Kohler engine ;)

briggs

I got a craftsman T1600 yesterday and coming home, I noticed that it was smoking whitish/bluish smoke after it runs for 2 minutes, I'm not really sure what the problem is the seller said he had just replaced the spark plug, and changed the oil, not including the filter. any help appreciated! -...

bruh, those engines suck

it doesnt work better bruh

exactly my experience ;)
