racinfarmer Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Ok FSCE Braintrust. This shitty thing has taught me a few new swearword combos I thought not possible. Now the POS will run and mower great, like a fucking bat out of hell, for around 20 minutes, then it sputters about until you disengage the mower. Clears itself out and runs like a damn champ! Re-engage the mower and it sputters and carries on and whatnot. I'm listing it up for sale tomorrow either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs and mows great for 15-20 minutes, then acts up and will only run and drive, but not mow. Or sit with the mower on, but as soon as you start to drive, it sputters and carries on until you turn the mower off, then it clears itself out and runs great again.

I would guess fuel or it's sucking air..seems to struggle under load when the blades are engaged?? could just be the governor spring is shot or linkage is binding. Even a little tweak in all that control linkage can really fuck up a mower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a little tweak in all that control linkage can really fuck up a mower I just find it odd that for 15-20 minutes, it runs, drives, and mows like a absolute unit, then just falls flat on it's face when the blade is engaged. Disengage the blade and once it clears itself out, it runs great. Re-engage the blade and back to falling flat on it's face. Either way, I'd done with it and it is priced to sell. Already had the usual smattering of lowball offers. One might actually be serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Sold the mower yesterday. Guy said he knew exactly what was wrong with it. 2 hours later he is messaging me that it won't start. Reinvented my recouped investment money in a pair of Ryobi clamp fans. So worth the $25 each if you are already on the Ryobi battery setup. They'll make sitting in staging a lot more comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple more things on the list to wrap up and hopefully this turd is ready to be running again after 5 long years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Welp, back to fighting the small engines. Snowblower quit life a month or so ago, but between the tractor and a shovel, haven't needed it. Decided to work on it. Can't get it to start to save my life. Guess that $18 shipped carb from the jungle website is probably fucking junk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few good sessions in the heated ultrasonic cleaner and some troubleshooting, she fired up and chooched along. Not well, but chooched nonetheless.

Cwhite138 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 @Rigid1 I seen you work on some fancy shit. What do you use to get diagrams for more exotic vehicles. Im trying to find accelerator pedal pinouts and test values for a 23 emira. We already have aldata and prodemand but they do not have access.
