    Bad boy revolt not charging

    With engine running and battery connected what is the voltage from ground to output tab on regulator? Is it the same as ground to battery positive?

    Bad boy revolt not charging

    You may have fried the stator. You should have approx 28 volts AC @ 3000rpm across the two stator wires going to the regulator. Unplug and check the stator output.

    No Oil on top end.

    From the parts list it appears the engine has plain flat tappets and not hydraulic. It will not be pumping oil up through the lifters and pushrods like a car engine. The engine lubricatethe valve train by splash and mist. If the engine is running fine and not seizing the rods on the crank...

    Olympics is a scam. Cities petition ( bribe) the IOC to host the games. Countries petition (bribe) the IOC to add events. With a big enough bribe I could probably get tiddly winks added as an Olympic sport.

    Old 5HP Rototiller fouling plugs.

    If we are talking about a 5hp 13xxxx series briggs engine the "easy spin" bump is on the intake and not the exhaust. If the engine is not burning oil the most common cause of carbon deposits on the plug is not running rich but rather not running the engine hard enough to get the spark plug into...

    Not to start an argument.....

    Just finished my third push mower of the last few days for water in the gas. Every one of them said the mower quit working after they filled it up. One guy says he uses one of the new politically correct gas cans. I guess they aren't as air tight as the government thought. E10 makes me money.

    Problems with compression test.

    Buddy of mine raced flat track back in the day with a big 2 stroke single. Once up to speed he held the throttle wide open all the time and used the compression release to modulate power in an out of the turns. Keeps the engine revs in the powerband all the time. Brakes? What are brakes? I...

    Fun fact. This past winter I forgot a plastic coffee can with about an inch of ice melter in it sitting in the barn. Found it yesterday. It is almost completely full of water it has pulled out of the air. Probably about a quart.

    Tuff Torq 46

    But the real question is what condition is the mower in overall. I don't get that kind of price and Most folks won't want to put over $1k into an older mower. By the time I replaced the trans and belt and idlers and whatever else is bad under the machine I am over $1k. Then throw in the annual...

    Tuff Torq 46

    I've had a few customers want me to work on 100 series JD mowers with the "slows down on hills" death whine. I won't even take them in the shop. Local JD dealers quote ridiculous high price to replace trans because they don't want to mess with it.

    Old 5HP Rototiller fouling plugs.

    It's not a stuck valve. If they stick it is always open. Pull side cover which is hopefully not seized on the crank. Pull the cam out and see if you can turn the crank.

    HH170 govenor springs

    The 632201 carb is for a HH70. Heavy Horizontal 7hp. Cast iron engine. I don't think they made a HH120 with tiller reverse but they did on the HH70. Can you get a Pic of any govenor or control stuff?

    HH170 govenor springs

    A cast iron HH120 would be a beast on a tiller. Probably a HH70 or a MH70 from the carb number.

    Old 5HP Rototiller fouling plugs.

    The compression release on this engine is simply a small bump on on the intake valve closing ramp. It will not stop the engine from turning.

    I have lawnboy S21ZPM that is 30+ years old. It is a trim mower now so it only sees a few tanks of gas a year. At the end of the season I turn off the gas valve and run the cab dry. In the spring I turn the valve on and star the mower. Gas in it could be 6 to 8 months old and has oil in it...

    Another PTO Clutch Question

    If the belt pulley is not turning (power off) and the clutch makes a noise it is probably the bearing in the clutch. With the clutch powered on the bearing doesn't spin so no noise. I would remove the clutch and check the bearing.

    Another PTO Clutch Question

    Remove the deck belt Engage and disengage the clutch Does it still make the noise when disengaged? Does the belt pulley stop spinning when the clutch is disengaged? If the belt pulley keeps turning when the clutch is disengaged and make the scraping noise the bearing in the clutch is probably bad.
