Thank you, I’ll see what my son has planned for the machine. It’s disappointing for me to see how enthusiastic he was, how much he invested, and now how his attitude on that machine has soured. I have a feeling he’s done with it.

turns out he has a spare controller already. I told him what you said. There is little enthusiasm on his part now to repair the mower, the cost of yet another motor is prohibitive. Can the blade motors be rebuilt?

It’s actually my son’s mower. He is addicted to all things electric, does own a single gasoline motor, even his cars. He’s given up on the cub cadet and just purchased a green works machine which is doing fine so far in its short lifespan to date. I’m keen to fix the cub cadet. I’ve fixed my...

Electric riding mower lt42e, blade motors fail. after one year, have replaced left once, right twice. After second replacement right failed again. the only thing I’ve done besides replacing motors is keeping the deck clean without using water

Thank you!

7.5hp engine Model number 12c113-0251-e1 Where can I find the correct lash?

Reset the lash to .006 using ovoovc method. The engine now starts repeatedly without hesitation! There were mice nests and caked on debris under the cover when these problems began. I cleaned it out then but I cleaned it all again more thoroughly getting between all the vanes with a plastic...

The new head arrived today. It has been replaced. the lash was set at .004 using the method prescribed. the engine had a tough time getting past compression. This requires turning the key two or three times until it turns over. Once the engine turns over it starts right away and runs...

Should I have replaced both heads?

I opened the valve covers only to find a bent exhaust pushrod. The intake rod is fine. Both of the rods on this side were replaced last week. The rods on the opposite side were replaced two weeks ago while replacing that head. Both of those rods are fine. I used the machine once to mow the...

Alright. I’ll try that. Thank you

How much does my methodology affect the settings? I saw two methods of setting these. One, and what I did was, bring the cylinder to top dead center, both valves closed. Set both at the same time. The other method was to bring the cylinder to top dead center but advance the flywheel an...

All four valves were set to .005 when the pushrods were recently replaced. Upon rechecking all four are still at .005. thx

My engine is a Briggs and stratton 441777 0726 e1.

Was able to remove bent pusher rod from crankcase with magnet. Replaced cylinder head and rods. Ran rough when starting. Checked rods in opposite head, both bent. Replaced them. Engine runs very smoothly. however…one final problem…engine turns over most of the time but sometimes i turn the...

Took valve cover off offending cylinder, the aluminum push rod fell out in two pieces. There was no other push rod.

turns over, doesn’t start but doesn’t cut out like it did when trying to start it with the plug in

poulan pro riding mower cut out while mowing. Would not restart. Made loud popping noise when turning over. checked compress in both cylinders. 30lbs in left and plug covered in wet oil. 120lbs in right cylinder, plug normal. suspect head gasket, our local repair shop on vacation this week

I replaced the ignition switch. tested voltage while running with mower engaged, key on mow:14v moved key to reverse: 14v! every time I restart it now it starts right up. perhaps it’s fixed?

Results of test: battery just off the charger, engine at rest: 14v start engine:14v two minutes later:14v manually engage mower:14v two minutes later:14v two minutes later:14v two minutes later:14v two minutes later:14v I tried to think if there was something different between the circumstances...

Pulled the diode wire, mulched entire lawn, ran without stopping, battery dead.

Makes sense, I’ll try it. Thank you

The engine has a dual circuit alternator, i don’t believe it has a voltage regulator

poulan pro model pb22h46yt motor is Briggs and Stratton 441777 0726 e1 thank you

poulan pro 500 riding mower runs without issue while mulching (no stopping and starting) but will not restart after done mowing, battery is dead. Likewise, if bagging cuttings, mower will not restart after stopping to unload hoppers. Battery is dead.
