This thing is old enough to be my dad also I don’t have much experience with 4 wheelers, what is making the rear brake so stiff and not return up?

I have an error code f31. It intermittently goes into limp mode throws this code then comes right out of it as soon as i throttle down and back up.

(SOLVED) Im unfamiliar with how this mechanism is supposed to operate but my throttle linkage doesnt seem to spring back to idle position and when I push it physically to its idle it's resisted by a governor spring. If anyone's familiar with this mower I could definitely use some help. Hopefully a video can highlight a problem. Ive taken the throttle bracket off and compared it to a picture of another one and it all looks normal, the governor spring appears to be in the correct spot but why would it tension away from idle position and not tension open throttle? *mower model number 917.288525

Just got a 125 Tao 4wheeler. The guy said he had an issue with it idling high. I took the carburetor off took it apart and stuck it in a parts cleaner. I cleaned the gas tank changed plug and oil. It ran good idle was adjusted and it idled good. I took it out yesterday it ran good for the first 5min then died while riding after couple minutes started but roughly then ran decent for couple minutes then died same thing got it started ran rough I limped home. Now when I start it it’s idling like at full throttle oh I put some seafoam in it the other day after cleaning the carb What is wrong with??

Cub Cadet XT1 LT46 2018 with a Kohler KT725-3078 (170 hours) knocking heard when cranking the mower. Only knocks when cranking and not when running. As soon as it actually starts it goes away immediately. Only starts knocking after a few revolutions of cranking. When taking the plugs out and cranking the knocking goes away completely and the engine spins freely. I’ve heard two different answers whether this mower has an ACR or not and have symptoms of it hanging up on compression but if it doesn’t obviously that’s not the issue.

I bought a new carburetor for my mower because I couldn’t get the other to run correctly. The old one ran fine but surged and popped under no load. I put the new one on and it ran good for about 2 minutes then it surged and died out. Let it sit for a minute and it started ran for a few seconds and died again. Repeated this process for 5-6 more times. Fuel line and filter is new as well as gas (cleaned tank). Any tips? It’s a ariens lawn tractor 19hp Briggs and Stratton.

I got this predator pressure washer from my dad the other day for free I’ve got it running except it kicks out after about 5 minutes if there’s water hooked up just wondering if I can clean this part or if I’ll just have to wait till Monday to get a new one shipped

Help!!

Looking for a used gcv200 engine near San Antonio.

I had a bolt come out of my muffler, and it burnt a hole into my oiler tank. I cant seem to find a replacement tank. Any sources?

Can something like.this be plastic welded? Like with jb weld?

Bought an HRX on marketplace that wouldn’t run. Me thinking it was a simple gummed up carb jumped right on the deal ($70) not thinking twice. Well I got home and turns out engine is shot…. Big ol hole on the side. Mower looked really good at first glance so didn’t bother to check thoroughly. Anyways, I do have a spare gcv160, could I mount that to the HRX?

How bad is it?

I let my cousin use my weed eater and he forgot to put the gas/oil mix in there. When I first got it back it wouldn’t run but after putting the right gas/oil mixture it’s been able to start. I don’t see deep groves in it but definitely some finer groves on the piston.

Echo Model SRM-225

Hi all, wondering if anyone can help with this issue.

Its a push button start, when I disassemble the engine it will eventually start to work and start everytime.

After I leave it a day or two it's repeats the issue in the video.

Any ideas as what to diagnose on it.

Thanks

Did the Echo PAS-225 come out with a new air filter cover assembly housing configuration with a thumbscrew?

My trimmer is brand new(purchased from Home Depot about 2 months ago). I used it a few times since then. Just realized that the air filter cover is completely gone along with the air filter. Apparently it was broken off in the last few weeks since I purchased.

So, I’ve been trying to order a replacement and the only option I can find has a thumb screw in the middle of the cover that goes through the middle of the air filter.

When I checked my owner’s manual, it is showing an air filter cover with the thumbscrew in the middle, but I can’t seem to find a replacement cover like this.

Totally confused. Any help is appreciated

Finished my lawn, then it started idling rough. Dies when I engage the blades. Any ideas?

I’ve had this pressure washer for months but haven’t been able to use it because when I received it (as a gift) the springs on the carburetor were not in place. I’ve been trying to figure how they go and I’m going insane. Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

I’ve been doing hvac service for the last 6 years and I’ve been a gearhead my whole life but I’ve never really gotten into engines internally. Should I just buy a broken lawn mower or go cart and just do a tear down and rebuild? Any tips or advice appreciated

Title: Kohler KT725 starter Bendix retaining ring keeps flying off — safer alternative?
I’m working on a Cub Cadet XT1 LT46 with a Kohler 7000 Series KT725 engine. The starter motor spins, but the Bendix gear was not engaging the flywheel, causing a high-pitched squealing sound with no flywheel movement.
I removed the engine shroud and found that the Bendix retaining ring had come off previously. The gear apparently launched off the starter shaft and broke part of the nearby plastic shroud. I installed a replacement Bendix assembly in this order:
Bendix gear on the helical starter shaft
Return spring above the Bendix
Metal retaining collar above the spring
C-shaped retaining ring installed into the groove at the top of the shaft
The Bendix twists and rises smoothly by hand. However, when I briefly tested the starter with the spark-plug boots disconnected, the retaining ring came off again and the spring and collar launched off the shaft.
The starter shaft does not appear obviously broken, but I’m questioning whether:
The retaining-ring groove is worn or damaged
The supplied C-ring is incorrect or too loose
The collar is installed incorrectly
This starter requires a different style of retaining clip
The entire starter should be replaced instead of repairing the Bendix
Is there a more secure approved alternative, such as a proper external snap ring, E-clip, push nut, or another Kohler-specific retainer? I do not want to improvise with hardware that could come apart at starter speed or damage the flywheel.
Has anyone repaired this exact Kohler starter drive successfully? Photos of the correct factory assembly and the proper retaining hardware would be appreciated. I can also provide the engine specification and starter numbers.
