r/lawnmowers

I fully disassembled and cleaned the cleaned the carburetor with carb spray. I also drained and cleaned out the fuel tank. What else can I try to fix this stuttering? It will stutter unless I’m on full choke and will stall if I put the throttle to about medium.

Honda HRR 216

Is this what a zero turn is supposed to sound like? Just changed the fluid to synthetic 20w50. Thinking might change to 15w50? Thanks for your help in advance.

Exmark Turf tracer hp 2014
Has a New Deck belt and Idler arm+idler pulley , both OEM Exmark parts
Mower has around 600-700 hours approx

So I hit a small stump about 2 1/2” diameter. Looks like the shear key is still in place - or do I need to take flywheel off and inspect anyway? If so, what size bolts do I use to remove the flywheel? If not, what is logical next step for troubleshooting? Engine turns freely (with compression) no visible problems with blade or drive shaft.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide!

Yesterday my roommate tried to mow the lawn but it was very damp and humid. He got a little done and the mower just stopped.

Now we cant get it to start normally.

In the video I took off the air filter and it seems to start and run for a little but then it spits out some liquid and stops eventually.

I have cleaned the air filter but that didnt qork, it wouldnt even go if the cover was on but as soon as I take both that and the fulter off it does start like in the video.

I am not savvy with mowers but figured its worth seeing if anyone knows why its not starting.

Its been good the rest of the season and last year we switched tp ethanol free gas because other gas was gumming up the carburetor leading to us needing to get it cleaned.

If this is something we can fix without a professional I wouldn't know where to start.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone... I've been lurking on here for a while but I'm about to invest in a ride on mower to cut about 1/3rd of an acre. My yard is mostly flat but there's some uneven areas, but the grass grows high and thick with most days of the week raining, and my pushmower stalls almost immediately and it takes several hours to cut the grass.... I desperately need a new mower to cut this lawn and I'd like to finance it. Homedepot has 2 Murray mowers both are $1,999 right now. Only problem is, the higher HP one is an automatic transmission.

I did some searching around this sub and it looks like hydrostatic transmissions aren't very good, can take away power from the engine, and this one, if fails, costs about $900 online to replace. Is the tradeoff of having to use an automatic worth the extra HP? It feels silly not to get the higher HP one especially since they're both the same price right now but maybe it doesn't matter if some of that power is lost through the automatic transmission, maybe they're both the same?

Mower has been in the garage for 5 years.

I’m working on a rough-condition Craftsman mower where the throttle is located near the gas tank. Whatever part was originally holding the metal cable/wire into the mounting bracket is completely gone.I’m trying to avoid an "Uncle Joe" rigged setup and want to put the correct part on it, but the Sears catalog is a nightmare to navigate for tiny pieces and I can't find a good IPC online.Based on a bit of research, it looks like I am missing either the metal cable retainer clamp/plate. Doesn't look like a cotter pin goes in either.

It feels a little loose when I try to engage the blades but I cannot figure out where the issue is. Need this running tomorrow.

I've been having issues with belts for my riding lawnmower this summer. I've never had issues replacing belts before. I replaced one in the spring then that one melted off. Purchased another one and it was fine for 3 months then snapped off. I just put this one on and it lasted 15 minutes. Either cheap belts or probably a skill issue. I did replace the original belt with OEM.

Changed the mower blades, but the new blades started scraping the plastic under the deck and making a noise, I cut the piece of plastic it was hitting out but it is still making the noise. What could it be?

So I purchased this mower for this summer season and as it’s my first mower ever (I know she’s pretty) I made sure to service it well. I took it to my mechanic friend and we disassembled the carburetor, cleaned every possible hole you can imagine, put new gaskets on the carburetor, changed the oil, installed a new spark plug, etc.

But the second time cutting grass after the service it started to do this idle and my mower does not seem to throw grass out of the chute very well, it gets clogged even on very short grass. So im not the best mechanic but i would love some input, did i do something wrong? Is there something wrong with the motor im unaware of? Any help is welcomed as id love to keep it running, im not the sort who wants to get something super brand new unless i cannot fix it, thanks in advance!

Replaced the carburetor about 2 years ago, but continually have problems with an unsteady engine. Beyond replacing the carburetor again, any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

P.s. I know the choke cable is disconnected but assure you it isn't the issue

I would like to know how you guys fix this annoying rubber piece from breaking ?? Is there a specific clamp I can get to not keep buying these annoying things or we just keep having to buy these cords?? Because my dad got a new one coming tomorrow but I hate the rubber piece because too much tension and it rips out the holder.
