Make sure you release the pressure on the wand before trying to start. Most consumer pressure washers don't have an easy start feature therefore you are pulling over the engine and the pressure that is being held in the pump.

If built after 2012 then fuel cap is non-vented style. Should have separate rollover valve tank vent system.

Everybody from the manufacturer to the consumer is to blame for this trend. When the average pushmower is ran 12 hours/year and replaced every 3.5 years, and riders are ran on average 38 hours/yr and replaced every 4.5 years. The manufacturers are only biulding to what has become consumer...

Will need the actual model and specification number and in some cases the engine serial number from the engine tag

A partialy sheared flywheel key will effect spark timing and cause hard to start and kickback.

For me the last few years it is moving less around repairs on the actual engine outside of maintenance.. All the repairs are focusing on everything around them.

Have you seen what appears to be an uptick in the repairs required on what would be normally a uneventful spring service

Those charts are about garbage. The temp rating varies depending on which owners manual or in some cases what brand of oil you choose to use. Take 30w for instance. Some charts will show the minimum temp at 50*F and others will show 40*F Your chart shows the maximum operating temp of all...

The Delvac doesn't have a gas engine SAE rating. Only diesel engines.

I don't use the red filter on anything Always white or even finer. Too many logs and boulders get through the red filter causing carb issueTo the point of preventing the float valve from sealing. I use to use the Briggs 40 micron on everything up to 2012 with the new tank vent systems that...

Remove the deck drive belt from the pto clutch pulley and then try to engage the deck. If it keeps running then the problem is in the deck. If it still dies then need to start looking closer for electrical issues.

A week or 2 is quick service this time of year. Due to the lack of repair shops and even more lack of OPE techs 3-4 weeks this time of year is more the normal than the exception. I have been running a 3-4 week backlog since February. Have talked to my local Honda powersports dealer and as of...

Get us the full model,type,and code from the engine, and sometimes we can backtrack the item model number by searching year of engine and other features of the item in the MTD dealer site.

Sounds like the parking brake is stuck in the on position some of the Toro's use a tooth style brake wheel with a arm with opposing teeth that interlock for braking. I have seen that small arm stick and not release the brakes. So need to look down around the transmission. Normally located on...

Item 36 on this diagram appears to be the clutch anti spin bracket https://www.partstree.com/models/rzt-l50-kh-17afcacp056-cub-cadet-50-rzt-zero-turn-mower-kohler-2013/drive-system-3/ Here is a picture of that rod/bracket https://www.amazon.com/CUB-CADET-747-06070-Clutch-Keeper/dp/B0198RGLIU

Here is a parts diagram that shows all the parts separated. The mowball assembly has to be removed from the shaft and then the shaft is slide down into the housing from the op where that bearing is installed in the spindle housing. The raised shoulder area in the center of the shaft sits...

Check and make sure the throttle shaft in the carb is able to move freely. Sometimes when a mower sets for the winter old fuel residue will stick the throttle shaft in the full open position.

Let me rephrase the question then.. You either have spark or you don't. Color or amount of spark doesn't matter. Are the coils you replaced OEM or Chinesium knockoffs. Are the coils mounted the correct direction because flipping them upside down can effect timing and spark in some cases.

that is the float valve seat. It is used in combination with the float needle on the right. Which may or may not be used with your carb, Basically you need to match up what float valve your carb has and then use that float valve needle. So if you have the larger of the two float needles then...

Remove the valve covers and make sure you haven't bent and dropped a pushrod.

Will it start or are you obsessing over what looks like a weak yellow spark.

Do you have the red wire from the solenoid with the fuse on the same large lug as the positive wire from the battery.

One of the deck pulleys is getting hot and the bearing is seizing.

We all have those days Abe.

Wait until you go looking for the model number on the Briggs XR engines where it is stamped into the mounting flange next to the oil drain plug and the engine is mounted to a piece of equipment that required either a mirror, or a borescope to get down into the crevice to read the numbers that...

A lot of old mowers and even tractors were designed with the shifter between your legs and if the rubber boot was torn or missing would allow water contamination of the tranny.

And that is why it so important to have the model and serial numbers for engines and equipment handy. And back to the ignition system changeover. That change also took place at the same time as the redesign of the Honda V-twin. Which has other changes that make direct replacement even with a...

Where are you getting 7 years old. It was made in 2022 and this is just 2025 so most likely 2.5 years from DOM.

The thing is I will almost bet that the model numbers on this engine are not in a location listed in the attached post. I will bet the numbers are stamped into the side of the block beside the muffler on what would be the right side of the engine, if the valve cover is facing away from the...

Lets start with disconnecting the deck belt from the electric pto clutch and then start the mower and engage the pto switch and see if it stays running or still tries to die. This will determine if the problem is with the mower deck or possibly a safety switch shutting the engine down

Model number 111P02-0113-F1

Something I noticed from the pictures is the choke return spring is binding on the thermostat actuated arm that opens the choke when warm. That spring shouldn't be rubbing on the other pivots. So possibly something wrong with the arm that spring connects to. Worked on a similar model last...

Standard for most riding mowers for the main fuse to be 20 amp. Most riding mowers with electric pto have a 15 amp charging system, so need more amps than the charge potential.

Deck needs to come off for better access. The electric pto clutch needs to be removed, which in most cases will fall off when the bolt is removed The most difficult part of the belt replacement will hinge on, will the main drive belt come off of the crankshaft to remove the belt, or will...

Actually that design was used by Wheel Horse, also on the early Sears riders, and early Roper mowers.

There is a second belt tucked up inside the frame that goes from the engine to the transmission pulley on top Part number 130801 which supercedes to 532138255

Should be under the seat. Most are not attached to the seat, but you raise the seat up to read the number on the sticker on the flat area under the seat.

Welcome to wholegoods, The 25% profit margin of years ago no longer exist. Replaced with smaller and smaller profits. I haven't talked to a dealer recently but at one time the Stihl 017 which has since been replaced with the MS171 had a awesome profit margin of $6. A few years ago my Poulan...

Need to recheck to make sure the compression release is actually working. Remove valve cover and turn engine over by hand while watching for the intake(bottom) valve bump just prior to TDC compression stroke. The other side effect of the cam issue if ignored for a period of time is it takes...

And that is not a safe avenue in a lot of cases any more either. So many of the Brand name mowers are just licensed names. So you think you are buying a name brand mower and it may be made, serviced, warranty, repairs through Pulsar, or Amerisun, or Ardisam. Or in the case of some of the...

May want to double check that model number. The Sears parts site is showing that model number listed as a grass catcher not a mower.

I suspect that second fuel line is actually the tank vent/evaporative vapor line Check out items 9,10, and 11 on this diagram https://www.partstree.com/models/cv742-3000-kohler-command-pro-engine-basic-version-25hp-747cc/08-fuel-system-7/ which will suggest were the second line would attach to...

I am thinking it is this model not the LT-1000 you listed https://www.manualslib.com/manual/496554/Craftsman-917-272460.html?page=38#manual

I can tell you have never dealt with the wholegoods side of OPE repair. The thinking that dealers are making a killing on selling wholegoods needs to end. I would suspect that the dealer cost off of retail is in the 7-10% range. So that $200 discount may put that mower at dealer cost or...

Yes and No. you have an open differential which allows one wheel to slow down when making turns without scuffing the grass. With the key missing the wheel with the least resistance in turning will receive all the power and in your case will cause the axle to spin inside of the rim without the...

part number 494406 according to the diagram https://www.partstree.com/models/10d902-0153-b1-briggs-stratton-vertical-engine/carburetor-fuel-supply-4/

Lawnmowers are not like cars that have a model year. It will still carry the full factory warranty, and unless it has been sitting in a damp warehouse rusting I wouldn't be too concerned. I installed a go-cart engine for a customer last year, that had been sitting on my shelf for close to 20...

You must be a young pup to complain about the chain brake. Most of those saws with that wrap around chain brake got removed within the first 10 minutes because it was impossible to get to the fill caps, and you had to unbolt the chain brake from the side cover to remove the chain. And if you...

That is the EPA registration number which is worthless. The model number should be in the format at xxxxxx-xxxx-xx xxxxxxxx And will actually say model-type-code above the actual numbers. Some will have model-type-trim-code Depending on mower engine could be above the spark plug on the...

@ like I said the in.honda site which is the official dealer, parts lookup, file warranty claim, and download service manual site is the only place I have found the part number variation for the GX690 with the TXA2 GCAPH for serial number +2000001
