Hello H., You forgot to them give them a "lifetime warranty" and beg them to take it off your hands. LOL. Trying to sell used equipment has become a real challenge these days. I take cash only, no check and no credit cards. Sales have been slow, but I tend to be strict about asking potential...

Hello T., This likely has a bad pulse diaphragm in the side or parts were not put back correctly. Here is an aftermarket carburetor that is compatible...

Hello Fixer, Welcome to the forum. Not all models had an "official" voltage regulator. Briggs and Stratton used several different charging system configurations. We need the rider product label information, and the engine valve cover stamped number or label information to be able to...

Hello R., The fuel shutoff solenoid (anti-backfire valve) can be connected either way. It is individually insulated internally. One problem that is common is the shutoff solenoid can go bad, or they are bad right out of the box on replacement carburetors. Personally, on my own equipment, I...

Here is an aftermarket kit I found: According to the instructions, the heat shield part number is 24 265 09-S...

Is this engine on a machine, or is it a project you are building? The engine side of the harness is very limited to only a few wires and usually connects to a gang plug for the machine it is installed on. Pick one that is correct...

Hi Star Tech, I've only seen a few that even had the update change. I think the heat shields were the most important factor. I made some templates of a set years ago and only ended up making 1 set of the heat shields. I'm not even sure what happened to my templates.

Hello L., 545 hrs. and about 12 seasons of use. I think you discovered the "lifetime" limit of that particular engine. I see similar models around here that seldom survive over 350 hrs. It is mostly due to lots of sand and poor customer maintenance habits. I recently had a fairly new Cub Cadet...

Hello T. Is this blue smoke from the exhaust or is it coming from the engine valve covers at the bottom and going onto the exhaust pipes? Kohler had a valve cover upgrade kit that included heat shields and replacement covers. I'm not sure they still have them available. If it is only from the...

Hello J., Thanks for the resolution and closure. We see way too many disappear, because they actually fixed them, or got frustrated and gave up.

Hello P., You should have continued with your previous thread/posting where you left off that you going to order a new carburetor. At last count, you are dealing with 1 machine and have at least 3 separate thread/postings. It creates confusion. These assorted choke levers basically pull...

I don't think it was a scam but rather trying to save more misery and put you on a known working machine that he had for sale. I frequently buy, refurbish and sell a few mowers when I can. Others are just parted out because they are beyond economic repair. I let customers test mow and let...

Hello RevB, Gasoline aircraft engines do have the same operating principles as automotive and small engines. The big difference is that most automotive engines from the early 70's to present use an EGR system and/or specialized computer timing and fuel injection controls to prevent excess in...

Hello RevB, You are correct. Generac just builds the generator heads and only some of their own engines. The carburetors are outsourced from other companies such a Nikki.... Nikki builds the OE carburetors to match engine CFM calculations and basic engine displacements. Most of the time, the...

The cable bracket should be adjustable. Your deck pulley brake pads are badly grooved, that is what's supposed to stop the blades from turning when the belt is disengaged. If it's mowing for now, keep using it, but plan on replacing those brake pads the next time you have to work on it.

Thanks for the updates as you are progressing. I see so many smaller units, that I forgot this actually has a real alternator.

Sorry ILENGINE,. My mistake. I was misinformed when I did a quick internet search this morning. Personally. I mistook the 7000 series as a newer version of the Kohler Command line.

If I read the 6-page diagram correctly the machine has to be running for the alternator to power that 510 circuit to the seat switch. I could not enlarge the diagram well enough on my laptop.

I fail to see how the bracket can be adjusted to reduce excess cable slack if the forward bolt is in place as shown.

Hello M., The Kohler 7000 has the hydraulic lifters which means no pesky valve adjustment issues. The Kawasaki FR has solid tappets and will require valve adjustment maintenance from time to time. Both are great engines as long as consistently good fuel is used the oil is changed as required...

I have not seen Perkins make a new engine for years and never seen one in a residential JD mower. You missed some digits on the Briggs and Stratton numbers.

Sounds logical, but the lines a fitting all the way back to the tank need to be cleared out with high pressure air. It is amazing how many times I have found grass debris and other trash clogging up the fuel flow in lines.

Hi Norman, I just took care of a 4440 JD farm tractor for a simple fuel elbow issue like you described. Every time the tractor was under load baling hay it would struggle a stall down. The tank was removed and cleaned, and I had to work forward from there. It was debris that got into the tank...

Hello J., When I see tap splices like that, it spells "rednecks and beer" around my area. Those things should be outlawed. Small utility trailer companies use them by the bags full, they are nothing but trouble. Your test measurements are not terribly off, so I suggest you correct all the...

That is not adjustable, it is screwed in until seated and snugged up. If you have a problem after that, the carburetor body has a blocked cross air bleed passage.

Hi Ozcub, Yes, you said "ponder", yes, I pondered before I replied. Not an attack on you, just stating what I know from many years working in the automotive and small engine industry. People often tend to believe all kind of wild historical theories and stories that seem to be too good to be...

Hi Ozcub, That is an "old wives' tale" that has been around since the early wooden encased battery days. That story has been disproven countless times. The more important safety factor would be if a battery is "gassing" it is expelling a very explosive hydrogen gas. This happens quickly when...

Hello R., From this picture, I think the belt retainer tab is clocked in the wrong position for the larger idler pulley. Loosen the pulley partially and see if the retainer tab will align at about the 4 o'clock position. That and the tab should tab be closer to the pulley. They are spring...

Am I correct to assume this is a manual handle operated deck? Can you give a full top view of the deck and pullies when you get an opportunity. The reason the idlers are wide and at a bit of an angle is normal. It compensates for the deck to be set a different cutting heights. Your belt...

Wild guess: The idler with the most paint still on it was replaced, and the belt retainer guide tab was not set back on the locating hole to make sure it would not drag on the belt.

Hello Tiger SE, Humans are being assimilated, "resistance is futile" according to the Star Trek Bork collective episodes I've watched. LOL Most likely problem is Lean misfire due to old residual that stayed in the carburetor bowl. Carburetor needs to be properly cleaned or replaced. If they...

Hello R., Welcome to the forum. If I am not mistaken, this is a low output stator on a Briggs and Stratton that does not have a separate voltage regulator. It has an inline diode on the red wire hiding under the shrink tape (near the white connector). That diode is bad and allowing power to...

Sounds like a good fit to me. The only additional things I will mention is to use non-Ethanol fuel if it available or use a good mid-grade gasoline with a fuel stabilizer like Ethanol shield. Do not use the cheapest budget fuel you can find, it will cause nothing but problems in the long term...

These discussions about aesthetics and "curb appeal" always make me wonder about people's priorities. A pretty engine does not make it reliable. The factory castings normally clean up well with soap and water without any other help. All media blasting does is create pours for the aluminum to...

Hello C., Do you have a basic multi meter that can read AC and DC voltages? If not, you need to get one. Throwing parts at a problem without testing can waste a lot of money. There are lots of You Tube small engine folks that demonstrate how to test the charging system on these engines. If...

Hello Scubcadet10, This is where many people blame the Nikki carburetor because they could not just simply open it up and clean it with carb spray, then put it back together without the new seal kit. (I used to do the same thing) The seals are one time use and distort easily. Spray cleaners...

Hello G., That is bordering on commercial grade. How many acres do you plan to mow on a regular basis? The pricing has climbed considerably in the past year (like everything else). An important factor to consider is having a qualified dealer shop who can work on this if needed.

Go to the link Kenbu sent you and scroll down the page, "old cajun" has it all laid out

Hello P., The only adjustment on the carburetor is the idle stop screw with the Phillis head. The generator governor and tension adjust usually does the rest of the work. These usually have a load adjust tension mechanism for making sure the output of the generator is correct. Ideally, the...

Hello J., Remove the screws from the right side (has seated on the machine), lift up the control panel and look for a red or black square "box" plug-in interlock diode. I recently had a JD 757 zero turn that shorted out the seat harness and popped the diode. Now it does not have the diode to...

Hello Up, Would you mind sharing the information about what product you used? I'm sure there are others who have or will run into this problem.

Hello P., This problem sounds like a bad float needle allowing too much fuel to flow past it and the seat. The needle acts like a fuel "gate keeper". It only allows fuel in as the engine uses it when working correctly. Carburetors can be a tricky, intricate device unless you have worked on...

I don't deal with Facebook. Do you have an actual link that you can attach?

Hello S., For future reference: It is best to provide us with the product identification label information of the machine. This reduces a lot of wild guessing. If you have a problem involving the engine, we will also need the numbers off of the engine as well. The problem you describe...

Hello D., Pardon the observation. but you did mention the "USA". We are in modern times where most young people are just breathing "drones" that show up for a paycheck and seldom held accountable for their actions. I have too suffered parts Delima's like this many times in recent years but...

Hello D., Give them a chance to make it right before you throw them to the curb. Parts frustrations are not easy but give them a chance before prematurely jumping on the web to complain.

Hello P., I help folks in my area with generator issues and sizing quite often. It amazes me how many people do not understand generators and think that if a generator can power a circular saw, it can run a whole house. Big "starting wattage" numbers in advertising have tricked many people...

Hi CG, That looks like a match in pictures and on Parts Tree. Winner!

Hi MParr, That deck uses a wide front roller in the middle instead of the single wheel. It does look very close though.
