so the slime is in fact run flat? I was actuelly thinking of solids on the front that bert mentioned however I'll most likely find a parts mower for the fronts wheel & tire. I get my vessels fabbing aluminum at the scrape yard, there's usally always a mower there. how much better will she take...

I found out why the tire was so heavy inside tire was another tire inside that was filled w/ a solid gell. man said it was a run flat type tire. what the heck is going on here. dam I could've continued to use this tire dam. the guy beat on the rim dinged it up I asked if he could beat it back...

I'll have to check into the solid tires thanks for tip I removed rear wheel the wheel & tire seamed extremely heavey for a little tire about 35LBs it didn't feel like it was full of fuild or anything inside tire really weird seams like it should weight less than 10LBs for both.

ten " or smaller think I'll buy the wheel and tire which reminds me one of my front is kojected wierd how one is kojected other still has thread (remember I purchased at e-auction so I have no history of my snapper). confused why you would add a tube to a tubeless tire exspecialy w/ low PSI...

yes I've been using NGK V power TR55 in tow vehicle and my high horsepower Pontica TA thanks for tips I'll be getting on the chain case after the new tire.

just removed wheel that thing was tight probable never been removed since new. please don't tell me there's a tube in there the tire I have is tubeless. edit: the wheel & tire seamed extremely heavey for a little tire about 35LBs it didn't feel like it was full of fuild or anything inside tire...

the orginal engines bottom end is fine. can I replace the compression cam & cylinder head w/ improved valve train and keep as a spare engine. replacment engine is strong second mow in week or less. then I'll know if I have a decent engine. I'm thinking of using amsoil 30weight oil. what do you...

My fuel tank expanded now it’s loose inside it’s holder. I accidently left the snapper in direct sunlight for a few days . The vent was closed because she was upright remember I recently swapped engines. The tank expanded like a ballon I’ve done this w/ my 6gallon boat reserve tank and it...

hello SM did you ever figure out when my new used engine was manufactored?

I purchased the replacement tire 8 years ago (along w/ new belt/trans disc/blade/air filter/spark plug ect.) it's still in the closet.I thought I could use my motorcycle tire irons to much work holding down the wheel I'll have to bolt the wheel to something (I have beaten a 13" trailer tire on...

excellent tips slomo you the man so whats the best spark plug she's running great so I hope she continues heres the new used engine yes I always use a paper inline filter also petcock and always run the carbs bowl dry. dam didn't know about the deck rusting from underneth dam she doe's live...

The Spark plug seamed to gas foul, this can’t be possible while the engine is running is it? Seams like w/ engine warm the gas would just burn. Anyway the new engine had a none briggs spark plug, oddely enough it was putting out a little spark not sure how stronge it was. Swapped in old...

well I did observe cuttings shooting out the side but it did appear only a small % was being shot out. didn't think a clogged deck could prevent ignition, can understand a clogged deck effecting the blade turning. additionally when removeing blade belt under the plastic cover was a bunch of...

installed engine she ran, ran strong did a few laps in the overgrown back then she died not to restart. right now letting her cool down those few laps wear treating her like a bushhog the grass doe's have moisture. under deck didn't feel completely clogged will a bunch of moist cuttings cause...

the new snapper rer looks very nice on the net.thought it was discontinued as op is. a 15.5hp on a rer thats some serious power. I don't see the cup holder. wonder if there's a option for a bagger shoot. where I could reuse my old bagger stuff. I actuelly looked breifly at a toro at home depot...

yes slomo I believe the engine is the same.sure it's a gamble but the top of engine looks very clean. was planning to reuse the crank pulley and it's keyway. at exact same distance inbetween disc.and bottom of engine case.haven't looked closely yet, not sure how the static drive disc. attaches...

nyone know Howes a easy way to gain slack in the drive belt so I can slide the static drive disc. Over the belt.

09 snapper RER engine swap intex 12.5hp The orginal engine’s valves are worn beyond adjusting, starter was almost dune. Now I believe a broken compression lobe of cam. sure I'd love a honda however I'm swapping the exact same intex. Seller says next engine runs good it’s a ebay deal. I...

# on valve cover new to me engine Model type code 219907 0131 B1 0805212A Orginal engine 219907 0131BL 0864307A

here's a close up.

I'll start w/ soaking the pulley under engine w/ liquide wrenh then watch a few videos on how to.swap engines. what I have read it could be diffiacult reailgn the static drive sys. doesn't the crank pulley sit one position woops I think there is a slite adjustment in height and this is where...

excellent which is newer? haven't gotten posetion arrarning shipping myself or I mite pick up myself. what do you like of the set screw on either engine. I'd think an allen locker makes the adjustment easier than holding it together w/ my hand while tightening sounds rather caveman primative...

# on valve cover new to me engine Model type code 219907 0131 B1 0805212A Orginal engine 219907 0131 B1 086432A someone please tell me these are the exact same size engines. the only differnce I could do w/out is the set/lock screw for adjusting valves. maybe after a few more adjustments I...

update: goods is I was able to get a deal on a used engine and she looks nice seller claims runs good not the oil leaking loose valved oginale. bad news is it's 6 hours away. couple days ago I posted up on Uship independant carriers aren't cheap a 24x24x24 50lb box that is loaded & unloaded...

thanks for advice forgot to reply . I ended up replaceing the square switch Plus creative wiring to bypass the seat safety switch so I have ignition. now I'm preparing for a cam swap. thanks again TB

I was messing I'll do it right w/ OEM will document the whole swap. to bad the compression can't be lowed enought w/ like a thicker head gasket. to bad there's a weak starter wouldn't a stronger starter and minus the cam attachment.TB

I have a 12.5 intex no oil filter. engine 2009 snapper 12.5hp intex .344cc 219907 0131BL 0864307A I didn't know it was possiable to not have a oil pump. if this is true no oil pump will ease my planned cam swap. I'm thinking the govorer acts as a pump?TB

what mite be interesting is disassemble clean out broken piece reassemble. then tap the cylinder head for a mauel compression release.reuse orginale cam minus the CR piece. or clean it out reassemble and manually choke it. it mite be a stretch reaching backard while standing on brake seated...

are you saying I could of used the walmart starter w/ the steel gears if they where the same # 0f teeth? I really like youre daddys quote he is a wise man is OK I use it.TB

seams all the videos I watch (there's a bunch) the compression release attachments are always collected inside the sump cover. seams to me these tiny little parts bounceing around inside engine would be grinded up and seize the engine. so this Guy choking carb can expect the broken pieces to...

hows this look https://www.ebay.com/i/274547789606?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 thanks again for saving me $ you the man.undecided on rebuilt electrical parts like starters alternaters ect. for mower mite be fine for my car I only want new OEM or used OEM just not rebuilt. I may have to pay someone...

when a part is superceded is it also reengineered to not fail. a cam should last the life of a engine.

OK the cheap cam most likely from china is outtof consideration. now I have the correct part # I will search, I assumme this HD part is still available a link would be a big $ saver. thanks Guys I'll be degreasing the snapper prepping engine removal. edit: I ordered a starter for the snapper...

you make alot of sense, initially I thought $100. for snapper cam kindof pricie for being orginale I guess I was expecting some lope and increase in performance for that $. I daily drive a 99 pontiac trans am 500HP vehicle. thanks so much for the ebay link just saved me $20.TB

yes you are right just regular tools which I have except for the torch to heat the pulley. or can I soak in liquid wrench? then use a 3 ponged puller? I thought the tension on the valve spring had to be released to remove cam which required a compressor tool. the snapper has been in Georgia...

thanks for the advice how did you find the pn for the originale cam? I've googled the model snapper couldn't find a cam pn. I didn't know this was a known fail. jacks is kindof pricie how does this look...

got away w/ one more spring/summer however she died mid fall just when I got the bagger adjusted hate to have to rack 1/2 acre of leaves. worn out cam preventing ignition the drag on the starter was to much the starter is officially dune this w/ battery at 12.6 VDC. I've been adjusting valves...

OK thanks: I was thinking the image I post is showing the top which is air tabs upwards. I ordered the new blade from Home depot last week $22.50 w/ tax $25.99 yesterday they increased to $24. today they've increased again $26.04 this is so weird them constantly inccreasing...

yeah: I slide the shoot outward a tad result she 's still bagging fine w/ old regular blade. this new blade I can't tell which side is up. no instructions or even this side up.dam.

update: I adjusted the shoot took a bit of trail/error the result is amazing even w/ old 5 year old blade of course the grass/leaves where very dry 1/4 of back yard =s full bag worked excellent didn't even clog the grass/leave mixture. haven't yet mowed the front there are pine needles...

the snapper rer was running good a month ago, sorted out a few issues a no start, a valve adjustment. she starts but when letting clutch out she dies difficulty w/ adjusting brake/clutch I put it back exactly like previously. to be honest I don't know what I was adjusting brake or clutch. one...

no I didn't forget to press brake, actuely when she was running a few weeks ago and the last 5 years I've gotta stand on the dam brake more than the brake lock holds it. or she won't even turn over. like right now. I'm wanting to bypass this brake sensor, where is it located and how to by pass...

Snapper won’t start no 12VDC at starter 2009 Snapper 23 series,12.5HP,30" blade,electric start. I have tested the ignition switch w/ key on I have continuity to all wires from ground except the blue trigger wire. When I turn the key to start I have I have continuity so I assume the switch is...
