You might like to rethink that again. Yes running lean will cause overheating Over advancing the engine causes it to run hot because the burned charge is inside the engine for longer thus more time to transfer heat and of course too much advance can lead to piston failure Now over retarding...

Not every bale & deck combination will give a give cut on every type of grass. It could just be the wrong deck & blade combo for what is coming out of your soil

If it is not split then you can get petrol proof O rings ( usually brown for identification or a sheet of petrol proof rubber and cut one.

Never seen a fuel filter that came with a cap on it but all of the pumps I buy have caps that have to be removed before assembly because they have one way valves that can be damaged by dirt .

I expect when he has a good look the rod will be poking out through a nice new window in the crankcase Would not turn off is most likely because the spark plug was now red hot which allowed the engine to continue running but way out of time because the charge would detonate as soon as it got...

Gear boxes have lubrication systems based on the type of lubricant used So things like heavy grease to replace oil can starve bushes that rely on small oil holes or scrolls for lubricant supply Similarly oils will drain completely out of the bearings & bushes between use so when first started...

Yes I forgot to add the fudge factor because I was not trying to put in an equation, just to show that you can drastically increase theHp simply by making the engine run faster The down side is a governed mower should be running just past the peak torque revs , thus as you load the engine the...

To those intent on virtue signaling, nothing is to expensive . And apparently there is now a process that can recycle Li batteries safely. In fact the machine can handle all types of rechargeable batteries

So one of the 3 safety circuits is faulty These all kill the engine by providing a ground contact to the wire you have just removed The kill wires are all the yellow ones The wiring diagram is in the back of the Owners manual which is a free download from Murray of from the manuals Library.com

Lets start at the beginning with the model , code & serial numbers so we know which one of the 87 different 12 Hp engines you have And yes it does sound like you have a fuel problem But I do not feel like typing 120 pages to cover all of the possible repairs . If you can start it and keep it...

If the drive plates are not in contact with the driven plates then the drum can not spin So something is either bridging the gap or the plates are not separating It is a simple clutch at rest the plates should be apart and when you engage the blade clutch that should force the plates together So...

It is your engine and your money so go piss it up against the wall as you seem to be determined to do that You have just had 2 techs tell you it will not work and you run the risk of destroying your engine if by some miracle it does work Very few mower engines will run over 5000 rpm for any...

I posted the wiring diagram some time ago Follow the white wires Note there are several circuits that run in parallel If any one of them goes to ground then you get no spark

OK I was talking about the reel clutch not the ground drive clutch If the plates are moving freely then there should be no power to the drum You could have a warped plate, broken plate or some foreign object stuck between a drive & driven plate . So you can pull it apart and see what is wrong or...

On the side of the engine should be a Kohler ID tag with the model of the engine , year of manufacture This is important because Kohler used a couple of different ignition systems on this series of engines If it has the SAM controller then that requires power to it or you will get no spark If...

The phrase silk purse from a sows ear comes to mind It is not as simple as just bolting on a kit You would need a steel con rod , more or larger head bolts , modified governor , new crankshaft dynamically balanced + the kit costs which even without labour would be more expensive than a bigger...

As above I fit the filter to the mower not the engine so I can easily remove the blower housing for cleaning Kawasaki use a steel blower housing to take the extra weight & wiggle from the larger heavier filter Spend another few dollars and fit the air flow meter then never touch the filter till...

The kill wire is a GROUND wire Ground = off open = on A spark when the wire is connected to the block with no plug but no spark with a plug = weak magneto or bad connection between plug cap & HT wire

Clutch plates have rusted together PIA job but pull the clutch off dissasemble it lightly sand the fibre plates and steel plates Reassemble

Apart from cortesey nothing else here is compulsory

frozen nuts respond to impact much better than slow torque so even with a 20' cheater bar they will not shift but come of easily when using a rattle gun.

They use a stronger starter motor and a better carb less prone to leaking when not in use . Does your car have a decompressor ?

Sounds more like water in the carburettor or fuel tank

Why are you doing this Hp is Torque x revs

park on the top of the hill and release the brake IF it stays there the hydro is good & the belts/pulleys are bad If it races a way like mulga Bill's bicycle then the tranny is gone & needs a new motor - pump unit . And of course partial wear between these two extremes

Stand it up on its bum You tip engines so the crankcase is down so the oil can run into it and not the carb or exhaust . Just be careful about other fluids that can leak out, petrol, battery etc .

Remove the flywheel and remove the stator polish the posts it mounts on to make sure the stator is getting a good ground Check the magnets they can come loose then slide together and this will also reduce the voltage

Ring them Performance parts are not made for every B & S engine ever made because low volumes make for very high prices

The little pistons get air in then and in place of being pumped out so oil can replace the air, it simply compresses and decompressed. This is why you purge with the wheels off the ground so there is no resistance in the motor pistons You do it at low speeds to reduce the oil frothing Some times...

It is a one wire solenoid then you need a jumper from the block to the carb body to provide a sound ground connection You can usually clean them out by spraying with carb cleaner then working the pin in & out As with the others it is not one I am familiar with In theory you should be able to...

Got quality goods that were fit for purpose from people who actually knew what they were selling does & fits . I like Amazon, it is worth about $ 5,000 for me in extra income from all of the cheapskates who have gotten the wrong parts several times or even better got wrong parts that did a lot...

That is from sodium People think that the spark itself has a colour but of course a spark is a flow of electricity which of course has no colour What we see iis the ionization effect of the gasses the spark is traveling through and some times the colour of the material at the end of the spark...

Star nailed it The bulk will toss the little end off the rod before you get to a modest 5000 rpm as many a racing mower owner has found .

For the 10 millionith time Vertical shaft engines are made to a price, not a quality They are the cheapest engine that it is humanly possible to make so nothing will get added that costs more . This is why quality engine makers hike Honda exited the market They are only designed to barely last...

Firstly dip the oil and see if it is suddenly over filled and smells like fuel Next , check that the stud that the rockers pivot on is tight in the head thay can come loose Lastly the rockers adjust backwrds to what most people think. The nut is the adjuster and the grub screw in the middle is...

Dunces cap is on and standing in the corner Obviously if the engine does not crank the blade can not lop your toes off Not some thing I have ever come across so it may be they need to be wired differently down here .

I get at least one of these a month "But the shop told me Honda parts will fit " So I take them inside to the Honda section that has about 200 bins and ask them which would they like me to use IF they persist then they get told to go back to the shop and get me a Hond part number and if that...

I use a red inline spark tester because the sparks on hand helds that doo near 10,000 rpm is quite weak at cranking speeds Trying to see a tiny blue spark on a machine that is bouncing around all over the place is not easy at the best of times . he voltage from a permenent magnet magneto is...

Yep, A bod just 20 minutes drive away machines the valve plate & piston chest , reassembles with new seals & filters and purges the units for $ 400 to $ 600 ( AUS ) The wholesale price of a drop in pump / motor unit starts at $ 800 so he gets a lot of work from me I did not ask for any trade...

I hope you kept your distance from the self immolating De-Walt battey ZTR

A brand new cylinder should come prehoned ready to fit the rings I think some responders did not read your post fully Now the crunch There are a lot of different ring sections and they all have both a right & wrong way up and a right & wrong sequence Do either wrong and it could take forever...

The PTO should not engage when your bum is not in the seat to prevent the brain dead from getting a manicure at wrist level when clearin a blocked chute with the blades running. The PTO should not be on when you try to start the engine because it puts a bigger load on the mower and because the...

One step at a time Do what was asked of you report back and follow the instruction to repair the mower

I have nothing against anything that is battery powered I do have problems with them being sold under the BS premise that they are less polluting Buy one because it is convienent for you no worries but battery powered stuff comes with a massive environmental cost before it comes out of the box...

Double check that the fuel lines are right way round Usually if it only runs after being upside down or when the tank is full to the filler neck it is because the fuel lines are backwards and the carb sucks air through the return line .

Jealous :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::poop:

It is amazing just how much better fresh droppings are ( OK Aged a bit ) comparred to anything that is bought in packets I get cow, alpaca, horse & chook They go through the shredder then into the compost bins Makes fabulous compost and the garden really love it Kitchen scraps go into the worm...

I was about to convert to wicking beds before I got crook so they will have to wait till after new years The main beds are no till , just add a couple of inches of fresh compost ( also home made ) every season Veggies just about explode

IT is common for this type of gear to have a kill switch on the bag attachment Being stored outside also common to haave mice living under the blower cover IF the latter then the engine can over heat and cause a valve to stick or even bend So remove the blower housing and check for nests...
