    19.5hp oppy starter gear

    If you would give the engine model number, we could verify what starter pn, but since you won't, try this info. Just the gear is...

    Voltage regulator

    Cut the plugs off leaving some wire to work with, strip, twist, solder and heat shrink. Don't just barrel crimp and call it done. Not water proof. Will last for many year and save you $$ and shipping costs.

    Still trying to get the mower deck right

    I agree with Rivits's assumption. The black pulley looks tilted towards the fron of the deck. It also looks low to the spindle pulley and the belt is riding high in it. This may be where the noise and heat are coming from. Pull the black pulley again, when the pulley is mounted tight, there...

    murray riding mower

    As BGS states, if this is a Briggs engine, coming to the engine connector are two charging wires (may be in smaller connector). One usually red and the other orange, I think. The red one has a diode in line in it. That goes into the connector and circles around to power the headlights (blue...

    New carb revs too high

    I shy away from all governor adjustments unless 100% needed.

    New carb revs too high

    What I see is that the throttle cable seems to be too long towards the carb. To adjust the cable, disconnect it from the holding clamp. Set the throttle lever knob(on dash) to full choke position. Rotate the throttle control disc to the max CCW position, remove any cable slack between the...

    Engine replacement

    I buy engines off MP is also an option. I find ones that have been removed from machines with bad transmissions. I have to hear it run first. On, or off the machine. No shipping concerns then and quick pick up.

    Kohler Courage SV-601 Does this sound like a knocking rod/other engine problem, or has it always sounded like this???

    I just went through all this nonsense with the identical engine. Thought it was knocking. After disassembly and checking all the tolerances, I put it back together. New gaskets even on intake and exhaust. Only seems to knock when starting and slightly when PTO turned on. I finally decided...

    Grinding noise or metal sound when blade engaged

    Follow the path of the belt around the complete deck. Look for signs of it rubbing on the deck itself or other components, such as brake linkages or keepers. Make sure you are running the spindle pulley covers as they are keepers in themselves. If you don't find anything, try mowing and see...

    Kohler Command V-twin. Cranks but no-start.

    Carb solenoid is not yet the issue. I read it as you have fuel to the pump, but it doesn't get pumped out. I have used a small electric fuel pump in the past and they work great. Not very costly. Just tie into a wire that is always on in the run position, like the fuel solenoid wire. If you...

    JD- ZtrackZ425

    Unless you're going tto trash that motor, find out why the rods bent. Examine the valves and rockers. Are they way out of adjustment, do they both push in easily and come out the same distance. Was the mower run low on oil? I would pull the engine apart and retrieve the broken end of the...

    BELT for troy bilt pony 42 inch cut

    I don't like the alignment of the two idler pulleys. They are not level with the spindle pulleys. I have seen that one might be tilted, but it appears, from the pictures, that both are. Try bending them level and make sure they spin freely and quietly. Also, make sure the engage idler...

    Jump starting an under-seat battery?

    My jumper box cablw clamps are small. I can connect them and have them lay horizonal and the seat does not touch them. Same with my charger cables. Or, you coyld jump to the starter solenoid (+) and engine block (-).

    Leaking tires... tube or replace? If replace, which tire?

    Buy new, you'll get lots of years out of them. Not going to keep it that long, tubes are a cheaper alternative. If badly dry rotted and side cracked, new would be the best. If installing tubes, I always remove the tire, make sure its clean and smooth inside and grind off any weld splatter...

    Toro Timecutter SS5000 - starter keeps running with key off

    Leave the starter cable off the solenoid. With a test light, or meter, check for 12v at the ungrounded small solenoid wire. With key NOT in the start position, there should be no voltage at that wire. If there is, the solenoid will be energized and the starter would always be powered. That...

    Cub Cadet LTX1045 will not turn over

    I agree to try and turn engine by hand. If can't remove the spark plug. Turn over a few times to clean the jug. Leave plug out. If you have jumper cables, connect black to battery Neg and the other end to a clean spot on the engine's case. Connect the red to the starter's power connection...

    Cub cadet XT1 riding mower

    Before doing anything, I would suggest you try to seal the tire. If it's a leak in the tread area, a plug typically works. If it's leaking along the sidewalls, the only product I have found to work is TireJect Off-Road Sealant. It works great and every time, for me. 5oz. for front tires and...

    LT133 Details Needed

    As a quick check, squirt some carb cleaner, or fuel, into the carb throat and try and start it. If it attempts to run, then follow the guys suggestions. Also, I would remove the spark plug to see if it's wet and check for spark. No spark, let us know.

    For another path to find the problem, Ground the jumper NEG cable end to the engine block, touch the POS cable end to the starter connection. The starter should spin and the engine should turn over. Won't start as key switch in OFF position. If not, then I would remove the starter and bench...

    Running on 1 cylinder

    Solomo, TDC, Valves and choke closed. I don't read the actual psi value. Use a rough measurement. Leak down, even at low psi, leaked into crankcase. I haven't opened the engine. Too cold to work on now. Left this info for suggestion.

    Running on 1 cylinder

    I have an engine here now that is doing same thing. Everything seems right. 60psi compression. Wasn't till I did a leak down test that I found rings bad. Chinese PowerCrap engine, I don't think it's worth the price of parts.

    Craftsman does Wheelies

    Thanks Guys. I wondered about the brake and the clutch adjustments. It appears I only have to raise the pedal about 2 inches and the trans engages. I'm not sure where the brake does. Sounds like I have too much belt tightness, or grab. I will try making the brake grab very low first.

    Briggs v-twin wont stay running

    50\50% for the cheap carbs for me. At least, a cheap trouble shooting tool. I also will use them for the internal parts to rebuild OEM ones. Just cuz the fuel lines look good, doesn't mean they are. They can close up internally just like your arteries.

    Toro Titan MyRide 60 inch no start

    I would pull the spark plugs and replace them. If fuel got into the intake, they may not have fired correctly and caused the backfire. Many mowers can run when you're out of the seat if the parking brake is on and the PTO is off.

    Briggs v-twin wont stay running

    Don't jump in and start replacing parts until problem is isloated. As the Guys have suggested, get good flow from the tank at the pump 1st. Inside the tank is where many problems lie. Fuel line from it to the pump, next. Wait on replacing filter till you get good flow. Now the pump. Are...
