Manual says vanguard full synthetic 15w50 is preferred, 5w30 synthetic also an option. My question: the vanguard costs more. Walmart has Mobil 1 15w50 and Valvoline 5w30 for less. Would either of these be o.k. to use other than the Vanguard? Opinions appreciated. This is on a Bradley stand...

M# LGT2654 Product # 960450047 S# 061815A031116 Briggs 407777 0274 G5 A couple of issues here. This engine has the smaller crank because it had the manual PTO. The rider it's on now, once had an electric PTO. Using the crank & deck pulley, the deck belt pulley rubs the drag links when I turn...

I left the key turned on. When I discovered it the battery was dead and the meter now has about 100 extra hours of time on it. I did not know the clock ran while the key was on. Anyone else have this issue?

RZ5424 about 15 ys old. Runs fine. Had a fuse blowing issue first. Which led to lots of new switches and parts thrown at it. Two things. Release brake engine stalls, engage pto engine stalls. Has to be a safety switch issue. Tested them all good. By passed seat switch. Engine runs well...

I bought a 44S977-0032-G1 engine to replace my failed engine. Does anyone know what the wires are for this engine? There are 3 colored wires Red goes to the voltage rectifier and regulator, There is a grey wire which I am assuming is the fuel cut off solenoid. And there is a Black wire which I...

I have an Kawasaki® FR691V Twin 23 hp/726cc. It is on an ariens ikon xd 52. I want to replace it with a FS691V. Will this work as a replacement? The FS engine is slightly large. That is about all I know.

I had problems starting my JD zero turn with B&S Vtech. Would start only if I put drops of fuel on air filter. This got worse until I finally changed carb with OEM. Ran great for a couple days then would die while running as if out of gas. I had put on a manual gas shutoff while swapping carb...

How do you remove the oil drain hose on the Toro Engine 24.5 hp without breaking the holder. I have tried pulling down on the hose nothing moves. Tried using pliers to turn the hose and pulling down still not working. Toro support is a joke for any help.

AB003TM94 reads on the label of my Victa Mustang 18 Ultima 4 stroke 5HP (4,1kW) lawnmower bought 1994. Two months ago it stopped starting. The expert states that there is no spark, ignition module should be renewed. Which engine is in this mower? Tecumseh or Victa. I have still on paper a...

Howdy! I have a 2018 ZT 6000 w/the KT745 engine. At full throttle w/blades engaged, the engine runs smoothly. I do believe even at 3/4 throttle w/o engaging the blades, the engine is surging. I haven't worked on carbureted engines in many many years, so I'm here asking for some troubleshooting...

This winter I purchased for a well cared for Super Bronco with a bad Kohler motor and I replaced the bad Kohler with a good one from an old plain Bronco. I purchased a new deck belt and the darn thing keeps coming off the engine pulley. I think my problem is that the engine pulley guard seems to...

I have a JX75 with a broken connecting rod. The piston, rings and cylinder look great. The upper bearing surface on the lid of the engine and the top of the crankshaft that passes through the lid/ bearing are both scored. I am asking for input as to how smooth both surfaces need to be…and how...

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...

kohler sv600-0009 engine surges when the throttle is at half position and below, at full throttle no problem. when choke pulled out at 1/4 inch no problem, new carb and air filter. is it an air leak or governor

Has anyone put a 214 engine on a 215 deck? are there anty compatibility problemswith the 214 transmission fitting? TIA

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...

What is a replacement engine for a B&S 386777-0111-E1 ?

I have a 2012 year Bolens 500e 140cc lawnmower that will not start. It has a new plastic carburetor, airfilter, and cleaned out flushed has tank. The mower makes good spark but the only way to get it to run a few seconds is to put gas into the spark plug hole (will run for 2-3 seconds) or...

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...

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. I added some needed oil, checked for spark, and confirmed that it would fire with a little starting fluid. I was able to pull the...

Engine will die after disengaging Brake. Have checked two seat switches, neutral switches. I can start the engine, then remove the kill relay, and can disengage brake without the engine dying. Any feedback on wires from kill relay (where they go, etc.) that I should test, trace or check for...

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...

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...

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...

I measured how much my tank holds: 60 oz., (rounded up), fuel. Means given 50:1 ratio, 36cc or 1.22 oz. 2 stroke oil per 60 oz. or 1.75 liters gasoline. How's that for simple conversions?

Mine seized 13 hp engine

I recently bought a cheap used Bolens 11A-020W765 mower with the 125cc Briggs 08P502-0165 engine, which has the plastic carb and foam air filter. I got it for trim work, but before I needed to use it for that, I needed to use it to mow a small yard. The first time I tried to mow with it, it ran...

I have a Briggs and Stratton engine on a log splitter that needs to be replaced. I got it for free but the engine is locked up due to the old owner running it without oil. Its on a Huskee 22 ton log splitter. Honestly it looks like a push mower engine but I wasn't sure if one would work. I did...

I hope this is the place to ask this question. It's a bit open ended. While mowing his lawn, my father in law heard a clunk and noticed that what appeared to oil was coming from the bottom/back of his mower. It's a Husqvarna MZT-61 with a 27hp Briggs engine. My question is two part. 1. With...

Anybody know what the valve clearances are supposed to be on a Briggs & Stratton Model# 08P502-0169F

I retired about 3 years ago after 48 years as a Ford/Lincoln Mercury tech. Now I spend my time fixing other things. I have a neighbor with a 1999 Exmark Lazer Z, model LZ22LKA604 and serial #204513 and engine #FD661D003939. It is a Kawasaki V twin, water cooled. Over the years I have...

I put a new battery into the mower and it worked fine. But the red plastic cover over the positive terminal was shot - so I ordered some covers. Today I installed them on both terminals - r/b. The starter gets juice but it doesn't turn over. Sounds like a stuck solenoid on a 1966 Ford I used...

The engine started surging after running and cutting for about 10 minutes. RPMs up and down and then had to engage choke to keep it running but RPMs would still hunt and then it would die. I installed: New carburetor New air filter New fuel lines New fuel pump New fuel filter New gas Removed and...

I have changed a lot of oil in my days, most of them pretty old small engines and a lot in pretty poor condition (Troy Bilt tiller rehab is my current hobby). Had a first today, a friend had me pick up his Craftsman T130 riding mower and try to bring it back to life. It had been parked under...

Hi all. I need to remove the engine from my Hayter Hobby 41 mower. The engine is a Briggs and Stratton unit: Model: 94502 Type: 5911-02 Code: 88072804 The frictiod disc (underneath, where the blade mounts) needs to be removed from the crank to get the engine out. I suspect it is a push fit with...

I have a new (4.2 hours) 19 day old 2024 Ferris ISX2200 w/28hp Vanguard engine. When delivered I asked the delivery guy if everything had been checked and he stated that it was "ready to mow". After mowing for two hours, the mower was parked in the shop. Next day I decided to check the oil...

I acquired a Giant Vac leaf blower with a 5hp engine that has an I/C decal on it. I'm trying to determine if it's really an I/C engine. The engine info: 132212 0362 - 01 88060607 I looked in the service book for L heads(270962) at the 'decoder' page and I don't see where they specifically...

I have a JD 345 with FD611V engine that needs a rebuild. JD says they can’t get rebuild kits for it any longer, Kawasaki says it can’t give me parts information because it is a JD proprietary engine built for JD, I contacted them to see what air cooled engine would interchange with it……… Does...

Friend of mine called and asked me if I ever heard of this situation and if I could explain it. He has a Bobcat zero turn with a 24 hp Koehler engine. He drained the oil and when he started to add new oil, he could hear bubbling noises coming from his carb. The noise sounded like someone was...

Where can I get a high-altitude main jet for the carburetor? Need 6000 to 8000 FT.

Hi, My Hustler super Z mini's honda GXV670 is blown after 700 hours. I'm looking to swap the engine. The Honda's shaft size was 1.125 (diameter) x 3.75 (length), and I would ideally like to keep the original pulley and PTO. I'm having a hard time finding a used riding mower with a 1.125 shaft...

I just put a two-stroke engine on my bike from a kit. I got on Amazon… I haven’t tried to start yet when I walk my bike the back tire moves in small amounts and it’s not smooth and when I pedal it’s very choppy… Should this move smoothly?

Particulars: John Deere riding lawnmower, D140, 22hp Briggs and Stratton engine. the mower was started after sitting for a season, and with the throttle in the low speed position the engine revved up so high it sounded like it was about to explode. Shut it down, repeated the start process and it...

Hi all, This is my first Ferris walk behind, (what a BEAST)!. Excited to get it ready for mowing season. Picked it up recently, not running, but overall it looks to be in very good shape. After checking the oil, and subsequently draining it and watching water come out, I knew I was in for a...

What is causing my Craftsman 37299 Lawn Mower to rev at full throttle after the engine starts running? Is is a 132cc overhead engine.

So what is the purpose of the engine brake? I only found out about this feature recently. It seems kind of pointless to me. Who cares if your motor takes a little longer to stop spinning? It seems like that would not effect me at all? Is there some benefit to this feature that I'm not missing...

Does anyone have any info or weblinks that detail if one can swap the hra214sx engine into a hr214sx deck/mower? This hra214 has the deck 1/2 speed shifter. Especially concerned if the self-propelled shaft on the engines are compatible.

Greetings, I have a Gravely Professional 8 hp with an odd Kohler motor, apparently. The engine tag lists it as a K181, but Ive had better luck with M8 parts manual. Starting with the cylinder head, got the machine with helical coil for spark plug and it eventually popped out 10 years later...

My 2022 Troy Bilt Pony lawn tractor starts and runs fine. I can engage the mower deck with no problem. But whenever I release the parking brake and engage the clutch, the engine bogs down and eventually dies. Doesn't matter what speed is selected, where the throttle is set, or what gear is...

I looked at a John Deere 425 this morning. It has the FD620D engine. The serial number tag is gone from the mower so I can't date the mower. I'm reluctant to buy it until I'm sure the engine has steel cams, which I believe are post-1998. The mower has 1435 hours on it. I didn't know where...

My Honda HRN 21 inch mower had some debris & caked up oil on the block of the engine and I was wondering if it’s safe to spray on a degreaser ( heat the engine first?) on the engine and then spray the entire engine with water from a pump sprayed.Is this the best way to clean the mower?

Hello, this is my first post so I am it sure if there a typical process making a post but I'll do my best to be right to the point to not belong winded but include some details/symptoms I feel might need to be considered . I have a a S100 17.4 HP Briggs and Statin mover. Engine model 31R977...

For my 10 year old Kohler. Rest of the mower is good. Where do I get one from?

I have a ride on mower with the 950e engine, my trouble is when I open throttle it moves on the carburettor body but does not open the butterfly. I can’t see how the spring, plastic bits on the carb work together. There appears to be no engine number anywhere, as I can’t increase engine revs I...

I have a 19hp Briggs and Stratton engine on a Husqvarna 2042 YTH. I have changed the plug, cleaned fuel tank, cleaned carburetor, and checked the seat switch. The issue is that after about an hour of mower the engine will stutter/bog down. I can release the blade switch the engine will...

I have a 356447-0415-G1 horizontal V twin Briggs&Stratton engine on a Walker S18 mower. Sometimes the main pulley driving the mower from the engine does not spin. If I stop the mower and manually spin the main drive a little back/forth, and then restart the engine, it will spin. It appears like...

After getting this unit running, I go to test the mower part of the tractor and when I engage the PTO switch (pull out and flip up), the mower goes to shut down. It's as if the key is being turned off. I do have the wiring diagram. And side note, see that the seat connector has a piece of wire...

Mower: Cub Cadet Pro Z 100S Engine: Kohler EZT750. ~385 hrs. I noticed on my last mow, that when I shut off the engine, it stops more quickly than it did last season. Or even two weeks ago (when I previously mowed). Should I be concerned? Oil is fresh, and level is good. One change from last...

Greetings to all... Perfect operation for all these years of my well maintained 1991 JD 332 diesel. Past summer the engine was stopping with the fuel solenoid turning it off. After 2-3 hours or after overnight, I could restart the engine but after 10-15 minutes the fuel solenoid would stop the...

I have a Ferris IS4500z (Model IS4500ZC28061) - 61" with the 28 HP Cat diesel. Had a catastrophic failure and it looks like a rod broke a playing card size hole through the block. Our local CAT dealer quoted me something just shy of $7000 to replace that engine which is prohibitive but the rest...

I have at last found a mower that seems to suit my requirements. Al-ko 520. Key start. Side chute. But it has a choice of engines. Honda, B&S, Longcin. What is best? Thanks.

Building a log splitter with an Intek 25 horse engine and need to know how to wire it. The original l engine was a a 13 horse but was worn out. I bought the 44t977 but didn’t realize it needed a battery connection for it to run my old set up I just used a jump pack to start it and choked it to...

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 have a Briggs and Stratton model 17AC2ACG055, 21 hp intex engine that I’m suspecting needs a camshaft. It was cranking and running great then suddenly it was hard to start. The engine would barely turn over, sometimes it would act as though the engine was locked up. I’m guessing this is due...

Can anyone tell me what these are for? (circled) This is my exact engine and application - 128M02-0423-F1 I bought a NOS Briggs and Stratton short block engine that included a gasket set. PS Since originally posting this I was able to figure out some of it. One is the intake manifold to...

I see this issue on a daily basis and read about it on the forums. "My engine surges up and down".... So, you are standing there watching the engine run and surging up and down. The governor arm is rocking back and forth working the throttle, so it must be the governor, right? WRONG! The...

The mower has a Honda V560 engine with a carburetor that's not getting fuel to the engine and no start. If you add a little fuel into the carburetor throat it starts on the first pull, but quickly dies. The tank is clean, the fuel new and there is a new inline filter installed. There is fuel in...

I built this log splitter about 25 years ago and it has split may tons of wood during that time. I changed the oil about a month ago and a few days ago I started it and it had a knock. I've started it several times and it knocks every time. The engine numbers are 252417 5526 01 and I assume this...

I'm looking for a muffler for my ZTH6127 mower.

I have a Hustler Zero Turn with about 1500 hours on it and recently the Honda engine has been leaking some oil from the bottom in the area of the vertical shaft. I tried to include a photo, but apparently "it's too large to process". In any event, I am assuming a seal or gasket has failed...

Just curious if a Kawasaki engine out of a JD 175 which is a 14hp will fit/work in a JD 240. These two lawn tractors are about the same age relative to years produced. I know the 240 had a pressurized oil lubrication system and oil filter but not sure if the 175 has the oil filter. Looks like...
