Casey v asked:


I’mm working on this lawnmower for a friend, and just wanted to gather a little information before I start. It has the 9hp Kawasaki balanced engine with the cast iron cylinder OHV and electric start. I dont have a manual. The lawnmower doesnt start and has sat for two years. They have replaced the battery numerous times. Also, the starter was recently replaced along with the switch. The problem is definitly electrical/charging related. Heres what I’m going to do. Tell me if you have any other ideas or if you’ve had problems similar. Thank you.

- Change the Oil and Filter
- Siphon out the Gas from the Tank
- Change the Spark Plug
- Replace the Battery
- Clean all Electrical Connections and Safety Switches
- Check the condition of the Belts
- Clean the Carb
- Sea Foam the Engine
- TEST THE STATOR (I believe this is the problem)

What do you think?

I have a Troy Bilt Model 675 Selp Propel lawmower. I accidentally put gas in oil tank. I have drained the oil tank but it still smells like gas in there. I just don’t want to ruin the lawnmower. Is there anything else I need to do other than refilling the oil tank?

flydog_38 asked:


I just bought a Troy Bilt self-propelled rear-wheel drive lawnmower with a Honda engine and four forward speeds. The problem is that I’d like it to go a little faster than a gentle stroll. It has plenty of power to cut the grass if I push it at a brisk walk downhill, but I wish it would maintain that speed with the drive engaged. Anyone know where I could find bigger wheels that would work or another way to speed it up?
