Thanks for that info Star Tech. I've never worked with a shorting connector. Are they a safety cut off if seat plug becomes detached?

Found problem. Connector from harness to seat switch has plug wrapped in a piece of wire that when pushed all way in connector rides on plastic creating open circuit that mower wants to run. It had backed out causing brown and white wire to connect thus sending path to ground. Owner had...

Update: I think I may have found the issue. I've disconnected every switch in the system. Neutral switch (left and right), E brake switch, PTO, Ignition, connection to engine, seat switch, and I'm finding I have a short to ground on white wire circuit only. Is there a way to run this down...

Thanks for replies. Tried both ways with seat switch, no difference.

I just bypassed seat switch, checked safety switches for steering arms and parking brake, and all are working as they should. Also checked continuity on whole mower using schematic with positive results. Noticed the starter relay was tied into safety switches and tested it also with...

I have a Craftsman chipper/shredder with a Briggs 8hp that seems to be running way too fast. Is there a way to adjust the rpm's?

I'm working on this tiller for a neighbor (true story). The machine is really in good shape except for the tank. I can't believe part has gone missing. There's one on bBay that's in the bidding process. I'll check with owner and see if he would rather go new if you still have that one in...

Thanks for reply slomo. I have a call in to a local shop where I've bought used parts before.

Full of rust. I think that can be resolved, however, the secondary sump chamber is paper thin and rusted through.

Thanks Scrubcadet10.

I have a self propelled mower (model 12AE46JA009) with a 173CC OHV engine that will start ok but it takes about 30 seconds to rev to full operating rpms. After it's warm, it will start and operate normally. Any ideas what might be causing this?

I have a BS Intek 344cc 12.5hp (219907 0131 B1) that was allowing gas past the carb to the sump. I attempted to get the needle to seat with no luck so I purchased an aftermarket carb. After installation, engine surged and backfired, which it didn't do with original carb. I removed float...

I just got done working on a neighbors Wheelhorse 857 and ran a test cut on yard. It acts like the blades are tearing not cutting the grass. I double checked installation of both blades and they are sharp enough to shave with. When deck is engaged, turning the blades by hand will cause the...

A little help please.... It has spark, fuel, and valves have been lapped and lash set. It won't even pop. I do notice compression is 25psi. Could that be from piston rings? Update: When assembling carb, the insulator (16073-6001) that goes between head and carb had a rubber plug. It looks...

I am replacing handle on walk behind mower model JA62 GXJA62V220658. Part numbers are M120194 and M110957. The replacement parts are making total length of handle shorter than original was, and now the push/pull cable (AM115556) is too long. Is it possible that the length of that cable has...

I'm working on a small Briggs that's attached to an edger. The air/fuel mixture screw (located on top in picture), doesn't seem to make any difference on how the engine runs whether it's turned completely in or taken all the way out. Can anyone let me know what might not be working right with...

Can anybody identify the approximate year of this Yard Machine (MTD) tiller. I'm trying to purchase parts and there is no model number to be found. Thanks

I replaced engine on a 1999 Yard Machine tiller and now the transmission belt doesn't have enough slack to allow it to be moved from neutral to a drive/tine gear even with the idler/tension pulley not installed. I've moved engine to allow as much slack as possible. It calls for 1/2 x 58 in...

My FH580V on a JD just started running rich and carb is surging. The pilot air adjustment screw makes no change to how the engine runs. It blows out black smoke from the exhaust and plugs get coated with black material. Anyone have an idea what might be going on? Thanks
