engine

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...

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...

engine shuts off when I engage pto. the 3 light on circuit go out at the same time. tried a new pto switch and brake safety switch but did the same.

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

Mine seized 13 hp engine

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...

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...

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...

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 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?

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

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...

Craftsman Model 917 270820 tractor with B&S 42E707 2631 E1 Engine Surging when idling - I can see the governor moving back and forth, but it will not idle smoothly - I can see the governor springs in there and it seems to not have any missing parts (like it threw a spring off), and all the...

I have a mower with the above engine in it 2018 vintage, my problem is I can find numerous stamps and stickers on the engine but nothing that seems to relate to the model etc numbers. stamped on the exhaust is 595506. And on a sticker on the flywheel cover 17 0908 56 8126. my problem is when I...

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...

I have an older Toro recycler with a Tecumseh LV 120 361541B engine. What newer Toro engine could I swap out with my mower?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

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...

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 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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

My Bad Boy outlaw red wire on the voltage regulator has come apart and I’m not sure where to reattach it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Henry

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...

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...

G'day all Got a TS 142T husqvarna fitted with a Loncin CC HV764 engine Displays typical no ACR symptoms so after wasting a day trying to find the specs for the engine , I thought i might just have a stab After fighting with the glued on rocker covers for an hour I find every rocker has a...

i have a hustler raptor mower with a kohler 7000 series engine..it has started to sputter like its running out of gas..i am going to change the fuel filter to see if that helps..what else should i check?

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...

Trying to replace a Briggs model 217802 onto a Swisher 44 inch finish cut pull behind with a new Briggs 11.5 hp E1150 model and unsure what fuel tank to use since engine does not come with one. Also how to mount to the engine?

Hi I have a Stiga ride on with a B&S 12hp motor, that is seized. I have been offered a Honda GXV 390 13HP motor. Is this a feasible swap, in terms of mechanical mounting? Thanks

I got an areins lawn mower for free and the previous person ripped all of the wiring out and I have to start from scratch. I dont plan on redoing all the wiring like it was originally, I just want the seat. Is there a way to wire it up a kill switch where if I get out of the seat it would not...

Hi,trying to set carb with one of these idle is no problem but high revs it wont give me a steady reading.I have tried with and without the cable.The instructions I have mention using the mode and set buttons depending on engine type and cylinder number.Now in the instructions when you press the...

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...

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...

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 flywheel (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 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...

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...
