This week, we swap the back pulley on our lawn mower for a much smaller one to get more speed. We also go through three starter motors.

Purchased this to replace a guide pulley kzfaq.infoUgkxO9seYZjlnuP5UvMkb7osQW3WxPVeSnPk on our John Deere x304 snowblower. As I stated in the title, it is just about perfect. The stock pulley has a spacer at the bottom. I used four washers to emulate said spacer, and it works perfectly now. Great product, and great price especially if compared to typical JD prices.

Congratulations, you just discovered what I did in 1974! I also removed the reverse chain and added needle bearings to the non synchronized 3 spd. I added shims to the driven side of the gearbox to allow shifts while moving. I got a speeding ticket for 46 mph in a school parking lot. Several engine mods including removing the governor. Milled the head, advanced the timing, larger carb, straight tubing exhaust, and a snowmobile hand throttle on the steering wheel. Steering was sloppy so I used aircraft type of tie rod ends. Well as you guys will soon find out the lack of suspension will haunt you for years. Lol have fun!

Nothing wrong with those starters, just set the valve lash at 4 thousandths on intake and exhaust, it will be close enough for what you are doing. Those Briggs are notorious for the valve lash going out of wack from a lot of use. Another thing to check is the anti backfire solenoid on the carb sticking open allowing the carb to flood and it will vapor lock. Good luck!

Its clear you guys are definitely not Tractor guys, I can tell just by looking at it your valve's are most likely out of adjustment, thats why your starters are dragging so much, most likely your starters are fine but by doing what you're doing you are damaging them. The valves being out of adjustment on a Briggs & Stratton single-cylinder engine of that type is very common. I encourage you guys check out DonyBoy73 or any other small engine repair channel to get some tips to help you guys get that running correctly. Or check out some of the other channels who modified tractors on a regular basis to get some more information. Also that car that you were looking at on Craigslist had a Tecumseh engine in it the starters are not the same.

Race mower trick. Throw glob of grease onto the transaxle drill into it so the grease wil catch most of the shavings. Install a grease zerk. And pump that trans axle full of grease with a grease gun. That transaxle will not last long otherwise. Also 40mph on a transaxle is possible but hard to do. Live axle with a peerless 700 trans and chain drive. 18hp twin or better. Could do 80 if the build was taken seriously. Almost wouldn't look like a lawn tractor at that point. More like a shifter kart with mower hood and fenders on it.

I agree with the idea of a twin and think it would sound and run great with an opposed twin, maybe a Kohler Magnum 18hp vertical or even a 20hp Magnum vertical, although the 20hp would most likely be out of budget range. Then, have side pipes, one per cylinder (obviously), running under the foot rests either side. At idle, it would sound amazing and have plenty of power. The side pipes could be made from, say, black iron pipe. They could even if for some reason desired, have standard 8hp mufflers threaded in end of the side pipes for "STEALTH" mode (as stealthy as a big opposed twin doing 40 can be, anyway). So yeah, the possibilities go on and on.

@TheLowlyTraveller 6 жыл бұрын

The valves are out of adjustment. Re-lash them at 4 thousandths. The camshaft has a decompression lobe that slightly opens the exhaust valve for easier starts. When the valves are out of adjustment, the decompression lobe cannot open the valve causing the starter to bind during the compression stroke. Hope this helps. Can't wait to see it go over 40mph.

A $20 battery would fix the issue. The 2 Gauge jumper cables don't allow enough amperage (approx. 100-130amps) to get it turning quick enough. Try replacing the battery and you'll be surprised. Also, you can weld the differential and replace the grease with oil and seal it up. For the slip Either a cogged v-belt or a fixed tensioner about 2 inches from the smallest pulley would help. The more belt around the pulley the least amount of slip. Just my 2 cents. Love watching you guys do the things I wish I could continue with but I'm constantly busy. Keep the videos coming!

Either the valve adjustment is a mile out or the centrifugal compression release on the cam is not working- there's nothing wrong with ANY of the three starters you have- ALSO, those rear ends don't have "Fluid", it's just gears and shafts laying in an open, non-sealed case with a bit of grease on them - very little or no bearings, and if you're lucky 2 or 4 bronze bushings..... Take it apart and you'll see! There's a guy with a whole you tube channel dedicated to making racing Lawn tractors on the cheap _ Dudes name is "Todd Christopher" aka Fearless Front - he's got videos showing how to change pulleys, re-pack transaxles with grease, ect.............

I'm running a 6" on the front and a 5" on the rear and I'm pushing 30 kph. I also used to have a Briggs single cylinder OHV like that except a 14.5hp and it had the same hard start thing nothing to do with the starter because I had to put a brand new one on. Now I'm running a vtwin vanguard which is great. From what I know the singles are just plagued with issues.

A lot of the time its just that those gravity fed gas tanks hydro lock the engine. They need a fully functional cut off fuel valve to stop the hot weather pressurizing the tank and flooding the crank case.

Valve adjustment! Get it to tdc and set them around 4 to 6 thou. of an inch. Its common on briggs to go out, especially when you were cranking the rpms in the last vid

@nickstenger8688 7 жыл бұрын

if that doesnt help try hand choking the carb, usually its the cam getting bad, or the compression relief on the cam came apart

Hey guys! Great work with the mower, however I have had the same problem with mine starting. It is not the starter, it is the battery. Get a new battery, that is the large size LM battery. You should have no problems after that. That is how I solved the problems with mine. Before that, I had to jump start it (using the battery, not on the starter), with the engine of my truck running. Just a thought for you!

Your float is sticking causing the fuel fill the combustion camber with gas..All a fuel shut off to the fuel line shut the fuel off when not running.. Pull the spark plug and crank it over you will see alot of gas pump out when you crank it over with the spark plug removed.. TRUST ME....

Have you checked the valves on the engine? if the valve lash is too loose, it can cause the engine to be extremely hard to start as the exhaust valve wont be opening at the right moment.
