So just plug the hose but leave it attached at both ends?

I wonder if I'm losing a coil under load? The other thing is the fuel tank level is currently above the engine and it still has a fuel pump. Any chance it's pushing too much fuel into the carb. Also it after normal before we bought it and when it drove it off the trailer after 2 hours of back...

Everything was completely out just because it was new to me. Yes it is the old style single barrel carb with the accelerator pump on the side. As soon as the lifters came out they went in a can of oil until they got put back in. CV740-0008 I've not opened any of the new carbs and I suspect...

Vertical shaft cv740. Completely torn apart and all new gaskets putting it back together. It runs perfectly and idles incredibly smooth. My issue is it starts bogging down and changes from smooth to more like pop pop pop but not horrible under load. Going uphill or tall grass is what seems to...

What happens when it rains???

Now that we finally bought a zero turn, a Dixie Chopper X2503, and I just finished rebuilding the engine grandma seems to think she should buy a new Husqvarna riding mower. Not a zero turn, a junky over priced riding mower with a intek bomb. :BangHead: hopefully I'll just talk her into new tires...

There's a lot of stuff that they're allowed to put in food here that's not allowed elsewhere....

Good morning. Of course as soon as the weather clears and I have logs I get a cold. Can't cut tomorrow either since I'm going to be stuffing too big of a engine into too small of a mower.

Good morning. Had a customer's command lose a rod which took out the camshaft and a chunk out of both cylinders. The stupid thing is it was because one of the rod cap bolts came loose.

Just told a guy I could fit a predator 670/22hp where a Kohler ch620 had been. Anybody got one? Any info on exactly how tall and how wide these are would be greatly appreciated! I'm planning on removing the control panel that comes with it and I can relocate to oil cooler if needed. Many thanks!

Morning all

Yeah this engine is done. Looks like a connecting rod bolt came loose and worked out a quarter inch and then everything detonated. One connecting rod broke and took out the cam shaft and a chunk out of the bottom of both cylinders

Customers horizontal shaft ch620. Was ran with almost no oil just long enough that the hydro lifters collapsed. So maybe 20 seconds. Got the oil changed and the lifters pumped back up and did some other stuff. Cleaned the carb since it was running lean a cleaned a lot of crud off the cylinder...

Well I got the monkey sticker on my cover so if I was to do maxflow I'd have to buy another. Seriously looking at the Egan filter. Anybody else got one on a 462?

Good morning. Nothing worse than a light drizzle here. It's been too long since I ran a saw, as soon as this weather clears I'm going to go cut a whole cord and sell it to buy more car parts! I've got a guy who lives smack in the middle of pere marquette state park/Alton tourist area that will...
