Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted September 8, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 8, 2023 Kohler v twin ,will take a jump start but with in 20 seconds of pulling off cables, it dies. Stater ? Or could it be electric fuel pump not getting juice ? Machine sat since last November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris7541 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 sounds like stator , if it was the pump it wouldn't jump start , you might want to try a fresh battery first have seen bad battery's prevent charging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted September 8, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 8, 2023 Stator more than likely, they go all the time on those, could also be filthy and need a good cleaning depending on the environment it works in..Like a lawnmower we will see them packed with grass and dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Honda harmony push mower and the thing is amazing (quiet, composite deck, idles when you let go of the bar). I would consider tracks on my next unit but I hear they are SLOW.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wheels this time because that's all that they had in stock when I needed it. The nice thing about the tracks is that they allow you to put down pressure on the front of the blower by changing the pivot point. With wheels you need to physically do it yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplicity that was built like a tank. Bought it used, and got a Lotta hours on it. And I bought a track drive troy Bilt which was a complete pile of shit. Bought an Ariens 30” about eight years ago and that is built pretty good. But still not a Honda, For how often I need it it’s fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepybrew Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 i use an old orange and white ariens with a new predator engine i put on it. i personally am not impressed with the husky stuff. the pro stuff is ok but that mass produced shit not so much. my buddy buys that lowes shit, brings it right to me so i can add some fuel to it. otherwise it's bog city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't help that every time a dog in the neighborhood escapes they come straight here to play! The red rope on Webber isn't attached to anything it just fools him to stay in our yard lol.
