Mr. Fish, when you have something to say besides the same as every counterman " I need model numbers to help you" I might give you some respect. I have 40+ years in this industry and have forgotten more than you know. I'm getting out of this thread, because the answer to this problem has been given and if you want to continue be my guest. I've never claimed to be the king of the hill, but I do know when to stop battling the south bound end of a north bound skunk like you. About swapping parts, you better have someone explain to you what I posted about when, why and where I swap parts, because you can't read and comprehend very well.

I am a landscaper but I am just a gear head like you. I stay out of the threads I know nothing about. But read almost every thread on the forum so I learn. I take what I learn and use it rivets is right the answer has been given replace the carb. Fish is right we need a model number to tell you which carb to use

How anyone can give any "good' advice without knowing what engine and mower numbers escapes me, no matter how many "years" are involved...

Helping folks here should be without too much drama, and not going "sniff", "Let the "experts" help you... Don't be such a child.... And if you start your "electrical help",
don't try to run off any other posters!!!!!!

And after running off all of the other posters, tell the original poster he should take his relays and modules to a Scag dealer and see if he will let the poster swap them for free..... After all of that high winded testing advice!!! It makes us all look bad...... If you pretend to know it all, you should have a better track record....

good luck poster hope u find your answer

NAW.... I was the "tech" that the "countermen" came to.....

How can "anyone" intelligently talk about a unit without a model/type/serial/spec number off of both the unit and the engine????

Your record here is not very impressive, other than your self basting of your ego......

Well as a whole all engines function the same. Some have different features. Simple problems can be diagnosed just by the symptom. On the other hand if they don't tell model type we can't give them links to parts. Or if there is a different feature we don't know. Engines as a whole are very simple get complicated at the same time they have a few Target areas that need attention (carb, valves, coil, fuel) more complicated than that makes for hard diagnoses

The only poster I will continue to try to run off is you, Mr. Fish. An experienced mechanic can diagnosis problems without model numbers, but will used them to identify replacement parts. As for my record, I didn't know anyone was keeping score. Where do I find the standings, I would really like to know how far below you I am.
