I have had it sitting in my garage for three years, stopped using it because I noticed the pulsating / surging and never had it fixed. Just changed oil, oil filter, gas filter, flushed gas tank and cleaned carburetor. It has brand new gas as well as battery, spark plug and fuse holder. I can...

Trying to figure out why this engine has no compression.....I have spark, fuel and no compression. I have checked the valve lash and everything seems to be correct.

Someway the bolt holding the choke lever, with all the springs attached came loose on my SV730 3043. After 3 days of searching I have actually found all the parts, spacer washers etc and the bolt to put it together. I cannot determine where the springs go. I found an exploded view of the...

I swapped out the Kawasaki FDV590 water cooled for a new Honda GSX 630 air cooled. Everything runs like it should after some effort. However with the hood on, I am thinking air circulation may be too limited as the hood is a total enclosure configuration. There are vents on the sides of the...

Help. I've got a 1998 Lawnboy Gold series with a 6.5 Dura Force engine. The recoil assembly is wore out and of course the part is no longer available. I drilled the 4 rivets out of the top shroud assembly and got down to the coil spring. The inner slot for the spring is wore out and the spring...

It runs smooth when not moving or cutting anything. However, if it bogs even a little on heavier grass, it starts to surge and won't come out of it until I just stop and let it sit there. I cleaned the carb, even tried another clean carb. It has good fuel flow from the tank and the vent in the...

Just replaced the belt on the above model, and noticed when I took all apart that the blade driver has no protrusion inside to fit the key way on the drive shaft. Just wondering if its sheared as I see no evidence of there having been one ....perhaps this is why it's not self propelling? Should...

I purchased a new B&S 163 cc engine a few months ago, and I'm finally getting around to installing it. I don't know how to get the belt pulley off Can someone help?

According to what I have found the engine drive belt is supposed to be 5/8th by 91" so ordered one off of EBay. Now this is not OEM, and I am beginning to believe it may not be the proper belt. I have the PTO and drive pulley removed and in trying to get the belt back on the drive pulley...

Howdy folks, I’m an older fella trying to get my old John Deere JD400 back in working order. I’m swapping in a Briggs & Stratton 386447 engine (left side muffler) to replace the tired original. My main concern is how complicated the wiring will be for this swap—especially since the harness on...

I am looking for advice on a Honda HRX217K5VKAA mower (manufactured 2-14-2016) with a dead engine. The engine has no compression – I did a compression test, checked to see if a valve was stuck open (both opened and closed fine) and have reached the conclusion it has a broken rod. I removed the...

I have a fairly new DR Trimmer with a Briggs ex675 motor. I didn't empty the gas over winter. The nit wouldn't start. I bought a new carburetor and installed it. The mower started right up but it doesn't run smooth, it lopes. What is wrong?

I bought a Snapper RER a few weeks ago that I got refurbished and running good. Included with the RER was a 21" self propelled. It wasn't running but would turn over.

This 2012 212 engine will start and run but only if I keep the choke pulled all the way out, (full on choke setting). Once running the unit runs steady then spits occasionally which I expect is a misfire. The choke will eventually start to creep down via vibration. When that happens the engine...

I am trying to figure out site... bear with me, please. If I put choke on 1/2 I can keep it running but poorly. I replaced carb no change. Acts like a vacuum leak and way too lean, but cant find it using carb cleaner. Any Ideas? Thanks Greg

Hi, The original B&S 6.0 GTS quantum engine on my super recycler is losing compression and slowly burning more oil. I'm guessing the end is near for that engine. My plan was to buy a new 725EXi with a 25mm x 3 5/32" shaft for this mower when the original engine dies. I was planning on buying...

A friend of my wife asked me to look at her mower because it wouldn't start and she said that when it had started previously, it had no power to one side of the rear wheels. I checked the tank, the gas looked old and had some water in it, so I drained the tank and put in some fresh gas. When I...
