    Hi All, I picked up a 'free' John Deere 115 (I think it's a 2006) in non-running condition. I was hoping it was the normal gummed up carb or maybe a bad fuel pump, but in this case the connector rod was broken. The flywheel and crankshaft was spinning, but zero compression and when I looked in...

    I bought a JD 115 automatic from my neighbor for 200 bucks because it will only start on ether, or gas poured down the intake. Starts right up and runs very smoothly for a few seconds on either of these methods. What I have done: New plug, New battery, New fuel pump, New carburetor. New fuel...

    I just bought a used Kubota z122G. When I turn the key, it just cranks. I added a few gallons of gas and I put in a shot of starting fluid and it fired right up and ran for 4-5 minutes. I accidentally killed it trying to move it (didn't take the parking brake off and moved a drive lever and the...

    I have a 20hp Briggs v-twin. Model 441577-0133-E1. It is difficult to start but runs great once started. It seems to have a hard time getting over compression. Valves are adjusted properly. Does this model have a compression release on the camshaft? Using part finder, the camshaft seems to...

    Hopefully someone here can help a guy out. I've got a 5ph Giant Vac with a PulsaJet carb mounted to the gas tank that I just can't figure out. I've cleaned the carb twice and am having no problems seeing carb cleaner come through the main jet and idle ports when I spray some in. The main jet...

    Hi guys, i have an old Briggs & Stratton 11HP Engine. The problem with the little boy is, that it's knocking/hammering like crazy, but it's running. Last Oil had no visible metal shavings. I already had the head off to see if the piston has tolerance or the connecting rod, but it's moving every...
