Remove the spark plug and pull the rope . Note if any liquid comes from the cylinder

Hot water normally works to soften most any kind of hose when a torch is questionable .

We aren't dealing with fit and finish quality we had 25 years ago . Not even close . Hot water will usually soften hose safely .

Being nov 4 , if there hasn't been frost to kill annual weeds there will be soon . Don't be concerned with killing weeds now . Till until the soil is clean like in this vid in , how to plant alfalfa . Grass planting is the same for cool season grass . Notice this farmer doesn't plant seed then...

Quit screwing around with all the deck leveling tools and make one that's easy to read . You won't need a ruler , tape measure , caliper , micrometer or any of those tools that have numbers and need to be read . All you need is this tool and a flat surface to park on and doesn't even need to be...

do 4 cycle mower engines and 2 cycle string trimmer engines ping . if they are pinging how do i tell they are pinging .

Please donate all Ryobi electrics to the government to keep the white house lawn manicured .

Every filter for our engines has some dust going through because we're not using NASA filters . If you would like to see the dust the eye can't normally see , wear a led head lamp outdoors in complete darkness and look up at an acute angle about where a ball cap bill would end . That's what's...

there's your problem , the choke wasn't hooked to the air box

The only area that filter could leak is at the 2 hose connections and not likely there .

i've concluded we're getting the run-around with this style of filter . HOW ? these type filters will work on any riding lawn tractor or engine . The requirements are it will go into the compartment of that design , the hose ends will fit as designed and the shroud cover will re-install . The...

I'm not finding a filter No. engine No. match and no X350 is on the list .

Thanks

Need Air filter from amazon for a X 350 J D Kaw number 13*97/ 68SN4G2*2012 / 46*0629 * 08 Engine Family : KAXS. 603N4CB Thanks https://www.amazon.com/s?k=x350+air+filter&crid=1U3EHZBBCC9S0&sprefix=x350+air+filter%2Caps%2C90&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Put a real plug in it like a champion . We had a new 7042 cu inch waukesha delivered with NGK plugs and i was out there within the first 24 hours at 2 am replacing the plugs with champion and all was well .

Check out the Ego for ease of string management . Watch other vids too . https://egopowerplus.com/string-trimmer-powerload-line-iq/

Looks to possibly be a variable speed assembly . Research those on line . IIR , older MTD products had something similar .

WOAH , you have a perfect chance to check for a bent engine shaft and a bent blade . As soon as you can get the shroud to move just enough to rotate the engine then check for a bent shaft by determining if the end of the blade clearance to the shroud is the same on both ends of the blade . If...

That's how we patched tubes in the good ole days . A Camel patch kit had everything needed other than a kitchen match to light the glue to make it cure - dry faster .The tubes were red rubber .

My tire go to tire people tell me some newer tires inner layer is not to be patched and won't hold a patch because of the new cheeeper material someone discovered . With this in mind if i can find a nail or thorn from my thorny Chittum or Black Locust tree it gets a plug without ever removing...

Using that mower to do that job , especially with a mulching blade , would be similar to a Yugo pulling a 20' car hauler trailer loaded with a 1 ton dually .

If your XT1 has a electric solenoid fuel shut off on the carburetor , hold your hand on the carb bowl and you should feel and hear a click there when the switch is turned to ON . With a yes or no reply , maybe a XT1 X-pert can take it from there .

I suggest you get professional advice from your county agriculture extension service if your state / county has one . If so we just hope they are above Mr. Kemball's pay grade and i'm betten they are .:)

Do you have the old plugs or the make to compare to the new installed plugs ?

If it's burning that much oil and not leaking oil you undoubtedly have one of the better mosquito foggers made . Maybe not cheep to operate but a good one .

Actually only 1 bearing is all that needs to be push fit . The last J D i believe a LA 135 or close to that number , had 1 press and 1 bearing push . The lower bearing was pressed in until the outer race contacted bottom then the top bearing being a push fit seeks it's correct distance when the...

FINALLY , we get a new member that is willing to assist in problem solving rather than first feeling the need to chew someone's arse out by telling those how stupid they are . Thanks Will1988 For those guilty you're wasting your time responding to this post . Ignore function was still alive and...

Key switch would be the last thing i'd buy . Check safetys first .

Your mention of marine engines assisted in my recollection of the MEP engine i operated and maintained . A submarine engine during WWll had 2 cranks , upper and lower and of course , opposed piston so no heads . Worst engine i was ever involved with . I doubt any MEP contributed to winning WWll .

How long has it been since you've seen a piston damage or meltdown because of spark knock , pre-ignition , pinging or whatever ya wanna call it ?

Mineral oil or any other lube from the pharmacy would be better than dry .

About 99% of the time when an engine with a constant speed governor surges like yours it's because of fuel starvation ( lack of fuel ) and it doesn't matter if it's a briggs or a V-!2 continental

Not being able to move the sleeve spacer to the side tells the whole story well and this is almost always certain why the bearings failed . The bearings were damaged with the first few revolutions when installed at the factory or buy someone that thinks they understand bearing installation but...

Turbocharged TLA Clarks with integral gas compressors .

Uplug the kill wire and try it . Maybe it has a bad module .

The word -- mouse -- is the clue . Those air cooled engines usually have a metal shroud that directs cooling air across the head . A favorite in many to build a nest out of the rain . With engine running you should be able to feel a strong air flow with your hand across the head / spark plug...

Looks as if we're already changing to a foreign dialect .

Sure the neighbor handled this like a drunk , but why is it so difficult for people to believe the property value plunges to the bottom of disaster when even 1 black moves into a neighborhood . Must it happen to your neighborhood to wake up and believe it . Example: How would you like your...

Plugs are a crap shoot . If it runs well with xyz buy more xyz . Thousands of new Waukesha 7, 000 cu. in.industrial engines had always used champion but this new engine came with NGK . SHRUG At around 2:00 am it was down day 1 . Solution ; replace plugs with champion .

Expand the bore diameter by applying heat in the V groove as the pulley is rotated . If it moves then stops when applying pressure the shaft has got too hot so stop heat , cool all back to ambient temperature and repeat . Do not apply heat where it is stuck no matter what someone may tell ya .

If you call Honda ask if this unit has ever been registered with Honda as being sold . Pay attention to when it was registered if they say , yes, it's been registered and they will have the information of who registered it and when .

It shouldn't have water in the tank from rain unless the gas cap was off and the mower out in the weather . But i would sure check the oil level for gasoline because of briggs history of draining all the gas into the crankcase with the oil . I'd remove the plug , clean it with a flame and crank...

Won't start or won't crank ? There is a difference when trouble shooting . :)

Being most of my experience is with 2,000 HP @ 300 RPM i tend to forget about all the variables .

Cut the nut with a hacksaw . Use another hacksaw blade against the shaft to space the cut a blade thickness from the shaft . If 1 cut doesn't loosen it enough make a second cut .

Heat

No , #3 may operate it but it's the round disk valve down inside the carburetor throat below the round choke plate . May need a head lamp / flashlight to see it . At about 5:10 in the vid he shows a throttle plate .

Brand doesn't really matter , but if your lawn tractor has a idler sheave with a bad bearing in many instances the bearing only can be replaced . The ones i've done had a 202 ball bearing or very similar .

2 hp is a big difference between a engine that has 0 hp and a engine that has 2 hp , but in this instance no you'll never know it except maybe for mileage and that would be pennies . I also think these people are full of it when a 8N ford tractor only has something like 28 hp . May wanna look...
