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?

I use a lawnmower with a 4-cycle engine; it is less than 10 years old. I would like to know if I should only use 10w30 specified as lawnmower oil or if I can use regular 10w30. Thanks

Justin L asked:


I have a new Craftsman push mower. I have to stop every couple minutes to unclog the side chute of clumps of grass. If I don’t, the mower will sputter and stall. I have checked and there is nothing obstructing the chute (I removed the flap that blocks it if you use the bag). I’ve never seen a lawnmower do this. What am I doing wrong?

Cory asked:


I have a Black and Decker 24 Volt Rechargeable Lawn Mower. The 24 volt battery (composed of two 12 volt halves) went bad so I took it out and bought a replacement set. Of course they are not exactly the same and now I cannot seem to get it to charge. I have pictures of what a new mower, correctly connected looks like, and pictures of my lawnmower with the replacement batteries. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
