I was wondering if the engine heat shield has enough material for a proper ground?? Seems to be working......

Those AC's are not even close. Good find ILENGINE.

Remember to lap the head and block where the head gasket sits. 220, 400 then 800 grit wet/dry paper on the garage door window. Let the paper do all the work. Spray on some Permatex hi-tack gasket spray on the head gasket. Torque bolts in 3 steps. Should be good. Recheck the torque after a couple...

Are you working at a local Chevy dealer now? LOL Plug on the right is a leaker. Not seeing the issue with the plugs. :rolleyes:

Keep the oil ON the full mark. Not under nor over at EVERY mow. Like the old timers did it back in the day. Over filling any engine causes issues. Oil aeration, oil pump cavitation, loss of oil pressure and so on.

It's the best 2 stroke oil on the market. Even has stabilizer in it. Running it for years. Much less smoke and carbon buildup compared to Echo and Stihl oils. My Maruyama trimmer was bought in 2013. Pulled the muffler. Bore was pristine with zero scratches our gouges. Very very minimal carbon...

Chainsaws have a ton more compression than say push mowers. Some trimmers like my Commercial Maruyama need a seasoned shoulder to pull over as well.

Will suck spare change off your garage floor. And my wife's favorite outdoor rug on the patio. Right up into the deck stopping the blade LOL. Got scolded for that one (y) :D (y):eek:

Perfect. What about the rear differential? Needs some 00 grease too. Jim Jackson on youtube has many videos on these machines.

Very well could be the compression release failed. I would adjust the valves first. Probably never been adjusted since the engine left the factory.

So stay off Fleabay and Scamazon why don't you LOL. :p Start using Mouser and Digikey for example.

If he tore it all down as we see in the pics then he is capable of reaming a valve guide and tossing on a head gasket.

Guessing at it, looks like a 33" deck. Rear skinny tires look like it should be a 28 or 30" deck. That mower, that engine, are the best ever made. Your grand kids kids kids will be mowing with that. Clean her up. Turtle Wax the deck. Pull the engine shroud off. Clean the cooling fins. Use...

Running good thins morning. Thanks for fixing it guys.

Glad to hear she is slaying grass again. Nice find on the switch. Bravo!!!!

Dead bearings and such. Listen to them while spinning each one. Any growling needs replaced.

Tells me people removing them by jerking connectors side to side, side to side, rowing the boat till the connector comes off. That spreads connectors too.

Should be. Keep at it. Sounds like you are making good headway on her.

Running good so far. Keep up the good work fellas'.

Bad idea not so much. Better than it was for sure what you did. I use Mother's Mag Wheel Polish. Or Flitz is great too. There are many simple metal polishes out there. Clean the bulk of the schmoo off. Little red shop rag and a dab of polish. Rub away the tarnish. Then shine up with a rag...

Gas cap vent Poor fuel delivery AT carb inlet. Dirty carb. Weak spark.

Read up on dynamic compression.

No spark Remove coil. Polish the coil mounting pads and coil where it sits on the pads. Coil needs a clean ground to make spark. Still no spark, pull kill wire off. Engine should run the tank dry if coil is good. As in it won't shutoff unless you pull a plug wire off. No spark with kill wire...

Look into this. Checked with what? Should be something in the fuel rail to loosen as to create a leak for testing fuel pump. Close to the injectors is best. Do a fuel pressure test.

Did you get this fixed?

Need your engine numbers please. LOL

Tells me engine wants more fuel. And or you have poor fuel delivery from the tank. Dirty carb, fuel lines plugged, filter if you have one is clogged and possible tank debris. Would be shocked to open a gas tank cap and see nothing but fuel. Fuel lines deteriorate internally so you can't see any...

Welcome Lower the idle speed screw.

Probably using a car compression tester on a small engine (gives you inaccurate readings) and valves are out of spec. Dynamic compression too high.

Perform valve adjustment. Load test the battery with a carbon pile tester. I see you sub'd in a car battery with no luck. Points to valves out of spec. Check and clean all grounds. Grounds are the most overlooked cable on mowers. What is the voltage AT the starter, while cranking?

Do you know what the red grease is for? It is a "sticky" version of grease. Red = sticky. As in it doesn't flow. As in it doesn't move. As in once wiped away, there is no lubrication. Worst grease on the market. What you need is the light brown/cream colored old school #2 NGLI bearing grease...

That fuse - heavily corroded terminals. Check pin fitment as in should be very firm to insert. Should see scratches from the female connectors scratching the fuse legs on both legs. If no scratches, take pliers and gently smash the female connectors a bit. Easy here if you do too much, might...

Ever tried working on a 0 turn? Are you good with small engines? Or have a truck and trailer when she breaks down? Is there a spouse in the family? Maybe a kid or four? Push mowers for all. Great way to spend some much needed family time. 3 pushers = a 63" 0-turn deck. All for peanuts...

Is this stored outside? Do you use a power washer on it? Do you have mice at your house? One circuit you need to check into. Figure out why. Do you have battery power AT the PTO? Ground on that circuit good? Is the PTO switch actually good? With your eyes or a meter using a 5 amp (headlight...

You forgot to type, do NOT in front of that comment. All that will do it attract grit wearing out the parts sooner. Maybe spray silicone spray (light lube) then hit it with compressed air blowing off the excess.

Easy with the wire brush. Polishing/cleaning is what I was referring to.

Another opinion I see a perfect bore (for a mower). Have had many pushers with way worse gouges and piston rocking. Little smoking is fine. Oil is cheap guys. One tight intake valve guide. Easily reamed out with a simple reamer tool. Little valve guide and head lapping. New head gasket...

Do you have mice at your place? Chewing wires....... Agree, must load test the battery.

You know you can delete those right?

Everyone should be on Linux Lite. If you can run Windoze then LL is a breeze to cut over to Linux.

Ah, clean her like a new one. All that will do is attract dirt.

Did the same on the last filter order. The white 75 micron jobs for tight spaces (push mowers). Run all day on gravity fed engines. Prefer the Rotary 10352 for all others.

Run it on flammable spray juice. If she fires over then dies when the spray is gone, you have a fuel delivery issue. You can then test the injectors out of the engine to see them spray. Check fuel pressure. Do you have spark? Don't just stop at a fuel issue as it is EFI.

Look how close the upper cowl is to the battery. Sitting might close for comfort.

Roughly, 18 ounces of SAE 30w oil. Stay away from multi-weight oils. They shear down quick in hot air cooled engines. Use E-0 gas if you can buy it at 87 octane. I run Stabil year round as I forget how old the fuel is. Never have to worry about stale gas again. All 5 of my mowers, one trimmer...

Looking at the last pic, those electrical terminals are filthy. Make sure you have good pin fitment and all is CLEAN.

I get the Chinese clone of the Briggs 594593. Think it's good up to say 15-16HP single cylinders.

Launched another "tab" in latest updated FireFox. No luck. Launched Edge browser. Same thing, pages do not load. For me, doesn't seem to be a browser issue.

Doesn't go anywhere at all. Just times out for me on updated Firefox and Windoze 11. Pages do not load.
