Some go cart classes run straight alcohol. They can get more power than gas because alcohol has a high octane rating around 113 plus it runs cooler than gas but you need something like a 14:1 compression ratio to take advantage of the octane rating. So running high alcohol content fuel in an...

No wait. You mean having a cell phone doesn't make Cecil B DeMille? Well, at least YouTube makes me an expert on everything. Says some random guy on the internet. 🤣🤣🎥🤣🤣

Mower engines are jetted totally wrong for straight ethanol plus the stuff will eat rubber and gaskets and rust steel and must be stored in air tight containers. Gasoline is a solvent but not corrosive. Alcohols are corrosive.

Gee. I have a cell phone camera now all I have to do is start a YouTube channel and I will be an expert mechanic. Having a YouTube channel makes you an expert.

Look at the end of the "adjuster" for a small hole. That is the low speed jet. Make sure it is open and clean.

Pic of carb?

99% of the batteries used in push mowers are a standard SLA battery. If the old one is still on the mower it will have info printed on it. You can use that to find a new battery.

I find it ironic I went to a friends house to look at his 1957 evinrude outboard engine and the guy can't drive his Nissan Leaf because the regular lead acid car battery that powers the electronics is dead. The car needs a battery to tell the car to use the big battery.

Yeah, condensation. Rehabbing horses? I got a horse in the shop right now for leaking seals. Imagine that LOL. Tapered bearings on the tine shaft gone too.

If you look at a briggs flathead engine the mist must travel through a hole about 3/8"" to get into the valve spring chamber to lube the valve guides.

Briggs engines with solid lifters oil the valvetrain by mist oiling. The oil in the crankcase is whipped onto a mist, not vapor, by the crankshaft that lubricates the valvetrain. Engines with oil pumps push oil to the crank for the con rod and upper bearing but not the valvetrain. So engines...

Engine numbers?

Have you removed the deck and checked all the bearings? If the engine is a twin confirmed both cylinders are working (spark)? Belt routing ok? PTO switch won't cause engine to bog down.

Start at the battery. Remove and Clean BOTH ends of the cables and the terminals. Even if they "look good" clean them. Look for fuses. Remove any you find and look for any corrosion or heat damage. Do a general inspection of the wiring looking for anything melted or corroded connections. Sounds...

Are you saying that when it dies it will not crank the engine when you try to start it but after a few mins it will crank and start?

This may clear things up a little

Swisher has done some weird shi..... stuff. So I wouldn't put it past them.

I am confused..... you say it has a pulley on the top of the engine to drive the front wheel. Does it have a pull rope start or electric? I don't understand how it has a belt pulley and a rope recoil on the engine.

What does the underside of the recoil housing look like? Does it use the ratchet (square hole) ?

If he didn't care about the old clutch housing a chisel and a hammer and about 30 seconds and problem solved

You might get the briggs 19114 wrench to fit. It is out of production. You could get a piece of flat stock and drill 2 holes in it and use a couple grade 5 or 8 bolts and use it like a pin spanner to remove the clutch.

I heard alcohol kills germs. I am doing my best to prevent the flu. 😉

https://www.ebay.com/itm/145100565881 I have used quite a few aftermarket carb solenoids. They are just as crappy as OEM when you leave gas in them too long.

This?

Where is SWO?

I wonder how well the blades with star holes balance on a nail 🤣🤣🤣

Seems everyone with a utube channel is an expert. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those get bent all the time. Bend it back close to straight a be careful hitting the deck on the right side. Just a poor design.

Be sure to install NEW plugs.

Try this. Install NEW spark plugs. Disconnect the coil kill wires. Remove air cleaner and spray about a 2 second shot of starting fluid into carb. Don't choke it. Try to start engine. If engine fires up and runs for a few seconds you have spark on at least one cylinder and valves are close...

If you read the BS post #6 a link to a robot mower is there. It all smells like bad fish.

What you are doing is just fine.

You're fine. Just no long periods idling and always mow at full throttle.

When someone brings in a ryobi or the like I used to replace fuel lines if that was all it needed. Not any more. I don't work on them at all anymore.

Reads like a canned PR statement

If the compressor is being vented when engine goes to idle maybe the engine idle speed too low possibly? There shouldn't be much load from the compressor at idle if it is being vented. Not sure what's going on.

When all else fails.... https://www.amazon.com/JDMSPEED-Carburetor-Briggs-Stratton-Tractor/dp/B078KDSYKV

Yup!

I do charge for time to remove/destroy/break off fasteners. I work on lots of old stuff and I have an induction heater, impact tools and an oxy propane torch so most rusted nuts and bolts don't give much trouble. What I spend time on is tiller tines and rear wheels on some riding mowers.

Take your pick

I have used a lot of Raisman chainsaw parts with no issues.

That is where the the compressor vents when the pilot shifts to idle. If you pull the line from the check valve it should unload the compressor and not stall the engine when it shifts to idle.

Don't think I have seen one do that. Just for grins pull the small line off the 19 check valve and see what happens when it kicks down to idle.

When the engine stops the tank shouldn't be venting. Where is the air venting from with the engine stopped? Number 19 is the check valve. It is very common for those to leak. When they leak it can screw up what the pilot valve does as it leaks pressure back into the compressor. looks like the...

Still sounds like the pilot/unloader is not venting the compressor when it goes to idle.

If you take the belt off does the engine idle ok with the control pulled to idle position?

I have the battery HF Earthquake 1/2 impact and a 3/8 Milwaukee impact that handles the day to day stuff. I only bust out the IR air gun for the stupid tight type stuff. If the HF doesn't take it off in 10 seconds I get the IR. Usually takes longer to get it out and hookup the air line than it...

Most of the homeowner mowers use some type of star center so they are not self tightening. When a cust hits something and twists the blade on the star and makes it super tight it's going to get a new spindle and blade so I don't care how bad the impact tears it up getting it off. In the last 5...

There is usually a vent on the unloader valve that vents at idle.The valve below might be the the over pressure blow off. Not sure where the unload vent is on that one. Have you adjusted the pilot valve?
