Thanks for the helpful hints. Choke works perfectly. Remove the air filter and you can see the open/close action. Primer bulb is interesting. I never thought of that. Mower doesn't have hour meter. Next time I go down I will check valve clearances. Thanks Again Mike

I've had this mower since new. Great machine. Only problem was the "Smart" choke. Plastic broke off of it. I put choke cable. Works great. I have a problem now that when I turn the key sometimes it just turns the flywheel 1/4 or 1/2 turn and stops and sometimes it starts. So far it's started...

Thank You Slomo, I'm going down to the place next weekend I will check all your info. Thanks Mike

In March I put new carb., two new coils, 2 new plugs, new filters and it ran fine for a few mowings. Now it it will run fine at about 3/4 throttle but if you push it full over it will start sputtering. Any ideals of problem? Thanks for any input Mike

Thanks for the info. It's under warranty. I'll let them fix it. Mike@TX

Thanks for the reply Star Tech. I have started the mower several times now with no problems so I'm going to let it lie at this point. Thanks Again Mike

I've had this mower since new and a couple years ago I replaced the solenoid because it would just click when you turned the key. If you keep turning the key it would eventually start, but it was pain in the %^$. Changed it out and all was well for 2 mowing seasons. Then this year it started...

Hello, I posted this in small engine forum and had so many different things going on I couldn稚 exactly describe what the heck was happening. Craftsman 48" 24 HP started out by having to charge battery about every second mowing. Approx. 2 acres. Then one day the clutch just quit. I turned...

Hello, I have a 2006 Craftsman MODEL NUMBER 917.275740 27 HP 48" cut. I was mowing and the electric clutch just quit. I checked for 12V at clutch, no voltage. Went back to where the wires (red & black) come out of wiring harness and no voltage there. I can apply 12 Volts to clutch and it...
