Hey all, as the thread title suggests, I have a 5HP B&S engine that won't stay running. It is mounted on a rototiller. Last season I used it to till my garden, but the engine would not "rev up" unless I bent over and held the throttle open and even then it didn't run great. Lots of gas was...

Are the Kohler engines that John Deere uses on their commercial grade mowers different or better than the Kohlers they use on their residential models? I have always heard to make sure to get the Kawasaki engine on any John Deere that I bought, but I've only ever looked at residential grade...

I don't mean to hijack another poster's thread, but do you have any thoughts or recommendations for residential wide cut walk behind mowers? I am considering ditching my current tractor and 'traditional' (21") walk behind and replacing them with a wide cut walk behind. My biggest concern is...

Hi all, new to the site. I recently had an old rototiller given to me by a friend. It was a family heirloom type of thing for them, but everyone has gotten tired of storing it, so it fell into my lap. It has not been used in several years, but it did run every time it was tried up until last...
