Stop it with all the bypass info please. Safety switches are there for a reason. Having said that......... Tape the plunger down on the switch. Or a zip tie, something that will hold the plunger down. This is for TESTING ONLY. Don't try to mow with it in this condition.

Hope you did the human thing and divulged all pertinent info to the new buyer? Not to start anything but I'm stunned you threw in the towel and got rid of it. Sounded like you were so close to cutting grass. (y)

Was hoping he would replace them but sure, test what you have.

Could be. Or put the tools back where you found them when done.

Typically, this is a clogged fuel tank outlet. Trash in the tank. Could be internally deteriorated fuel lines from tank to carb. Clogged fuel filter. Inline shutoff valve possibly not letting fuel by. Someone using an open top spout fuel can. Passing trash from the can to the mower tank...

True that. Oil is cheap though. Keep her on the full mark prior to every mow.

I would guess at hot. Cold engines require more fuel and will settle in rpm once warmed up. See what the experts say.

Well what is the exact issue then? You seem to be up on your game.

What confirmed this condition please?

If you can't keep a month old mower running return it. Maybe "try" a pair of scissors?

But, you have to fill up more often so you are not saving anything. E-10 has less thermal energy = less HP and torque. In a small engine, that could be big. I cut more grass with E-0 gas.

Agree on the no alcohol. Look around at the pumps next time and several others. Notice most are not using 91 premium. Meaning it has more of a chance to go stale or water down compared to the more popular fuels. Use the most popular stuff you can get. Typical push mowers and 0-turns, 87...

And you already replaced the battery? Sounds like you don't own a trickle charger. Or run the engine at idle speeds only as in not charging the battery up. What engine speed do you run it at?

Wouldn't hurt anything to rule it out completely. Only takes a few minutes. I know, lazy America.

True so true......... Must lap the head and block area where the head gasket sits. Unless you like doing it all over again later.......

How about that new Slime?

None of the shops around here will even look at a battery mower or any battery OPE. Can't get parts and are throw aways one real mower shop manager told me.

Post up some pictures here. Or even better a video.

How cold is cold here? Dead cold, choke plate needs to be fully closed. Read your engine manual about the choke. Do you not have an inline fuel shutoff valve installed? I would get one. Only a couple bucks. Those and good filters go on every mower I touch. So carb was choked up and needed a...

True true. I want to see the spark not some Christmas light with zero meaning about spark condition. Best tool for the job is a PET-4000.

CANBUS is communications area network. As in a buss of specific speed modules communicate on. Talking about OBD2 like coms in cars and trucks. Code scanner time maybe.

Once the plates get uncovered, she is toast. Never had any luck with distilled water or hose water. She died in short fashion once the water evaps. My luck anyway.

2 is plenty for such a small battery. Lower rate the better. Might have to jump it to get some voltage into her so it will charge as others have said. Below will handle what you need.

Maybe if you washed it, might find the tag?

I was waiting on a question to appear.

I doubt it.

Never. Always use the air lift kits bolted to the blade. Best blade and deck on this planet. Will suck up spare change off your garage floor. Nothing from any other brand comes close. Hi-Vac decks roll under towards the blade. Here is a Hi-Vac deck. Even says so on it.

You can but that is not what Snapper used. No.

1.Open the vent on top of the gas cap when mowing. 2. Possible fuel line deteriorated internally blocking fuel flow. 3. Possible fuel filter restriction. BTW, I've ran the low micron filters on gravity fed mowers for years. Starts on the first pull. 4.Trash in the fuel tank outlet nipple...

You want 00 grade grease.

You want 00 grade grease. Typical car bearing grease is NGLI #2. It is way thicker than 00. Use 00 in the rear diff and chain case. 00 has a consistency of pudding. Do not use any other type of gear lube or 80w-90.

That is part of de-carbonizing the cylinder/s in your engine manual. Download you manual and read it cover to cover.

It's not bandwidth. It either loads pages or doesn't. Server error 500 a lot.

Recommend you load test your ignition coils. Should jump a min 0.25" in free air. Right plug might have weak spark???

As long as both cylinders have clean cooling fins and typical cylinder valve/cylinder sealing conditions ect..... Left plug looks "good" BUT main jet is filthy rich. Look at the base ring where the threads stop towards electrode. This is where you size the main jet up. Both plugs are black in...

Clean what you have first. Even cheaper.......

Sealed gas can spouts helps too. Replace all your old open top can spouts ASAP.

This is a good can too.

+1 As well as dirt, bugs, grass and all other junk you don't want in your carb. All you guys using open top fuel cans better get a new EPA sealed pain in the rump spout. Better flush out your can or all that gunk will be heading towards your carb. Briggs makes a good can and spout...

When you own 5 mowers, a top side sucker as you say is a dream. Plus when you tip you can scratch the deck, wheels and handlebar up.

The whole machine is made in China. Cubs are not what they used to be.

They are not listening to Mark Suckerburg. He knew if his servers went down it would compromise the entire effort.

This isn't nipple dot com. Overloaded I would think is a stretch. All 5 of us on here per day.

Some people take a small dope needle and inject grease into the black rubber seal. That fills the bearing with grease. Then a small finger dab of sealant or rubber cement to cover the hole. Right where the RED arrow is at in the above pic. Some spindles not all, have a hollow tube in the...

Looks like a beaver has gotten to it. .

Try a leaf blower or compressed shop air first. Pull the engine shroud and clean the cooling fins, all around the block. I applaud the cleaning effort. Turtle Wax the deck and apply used motor oil to the under side of the deck. Tires properly aired up. Valves ran.

How often do you cut your toe nails?

12.0 needs charged. 12.6 is fully charged with no surface charge on it.

Anyone use Slime yet?

I made a post about constant site interruptions. All I got back was crickets.
