Re: Suzuki 2 stroke - doesn't start after rebuild
Bruce

Hi SuziRova,
You should look at the airfilter assembly because that can cause a lot of issues if it is warpped it will cause starting issues and running issues.
Just search on the forum and you will find other people that have the same problem.

Re: Suzuki 2 stroke - doesn't start after rebuild
Bruce

Hi Everyone,
I rebuilt a Suzuki M120X (with new seals) that came on the Rovers. The carburettor has been cleaned (not soaked though). I wonder if you can help me with a starting and running issue that it now has.
It would only start with Aerostart and full choke (even when hot). It would not start from the carb at all.
Once it starts, it runs very well (and the governor works) but then conks out as if the kill switch is activated. The bowl is full of fuel so it's not that.
If I hold the governor lever for higher revs, it doesn't conk out but then stops again a few seconds after I let go of the governor.
I have tried another carb that I have also cleaned (no soaking) and same problem.
Any ideas anyone? You should look at the airfilter assembly because that can cause a lot of issues if it is warpped it will cause starting issues and running issues. Just search on the forum and you will find other people that have the same problem. Good Luck.

Re: Greenfield Drive belt keeps twisting
Bruce
5 hours ago
Just replaced a with a new idler pulley. Does anyone have any recommendation's before i go ahead and replace the the left hand clutch pulley? I'm trying to avoid that as it looks like a mammoth job. Video of the problem [video:youtube] https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zrzvI4LmkRE[/video] Why are you using a flat idler pulley when you should be using a 'V' idler pulley for the tensioner. The belt will always twist with what you are using.

Re: GXV390 chaging oil with vacumm pump.
MowingManiac
16 hours ago
The only small engines without drain plugs I've come across so far have been on push mowers which can be completely drained of oil and any sludge via the filler by tipping them over.
I presume any motors without drain plugs have been designed to allow complete drainage via a vacuum tube system. The Honda GXV390 doesn't look like it would be possible to remove all the oil by a tube through the filler.
On machines such as generators and quads, 4WDs, etc.where it is difficult to allow oil the be drained from the plug without making a mess I use old aluminium foil baking trays moulded to shape, similar to Norm's suggestion.

Add electric power to push reel?
MikeDD
11/02/26 10:45 PM
My new mower works very well for 80% of my lawn, but the remainder is uneven and, combined with grass type, very hard going.
The old mower was ~35cm wide and the new is 45cm.
Any suggestions on how to mount a battery drill to a hand reel mower?
thanks, mike

I haven't dealt with them personally but they have a bad reputation in the facebook groups for doing poor quality work. I wouldn't trust them with my equipment based off horror stories I've heard from facebook and another mower shop that people bring their stuff in to get repaired again after been ripped off by SRMC.

I have a cone in my Dekson wheelbarrow and it is extremely powerful and the cone is a bit ratty but it really engages easily. Have you looked at the cone. If it looks reasonable there must be something wrong with the leverage arm somewhere

Re: Bushranger cylinder mower

Thanks Max.
Unfortunately I bought this Type of bushranger. A couple of cylinder mower specialist shops have advised me that the whole plastic system is crap and even replacing parts will continue the same old problem. Thier fix - get rid of it and buy one of the new Bushrangers aka Supaswift that is the proper old style scott bonnar system. My Bushranger version was made in NZ and Bushranger has now deleted this mower out of its lineup. I will try the shimming method.

Re: Acrher Chainsaw Chain

Hi AVB,
yes the Power Sharp system is brilliant. I bought one saw, took it home and used it for one day and the next day I went back and got 2 more of them, absolutely brilliant saw and 5 seconds sharpens the chain like new again. Makes cutting wood fun again, well almost. Not using the splitter anymore these saws just rip a log up in seconds

Yes Max, this world is now full of dickhead engineers, but I guess they can't take all the blame the manufacturers have told the engineers what sort of faults they want built into their cars

G'day Phil
eBay have alternators for Briggs ,if it's a Briggs engine the numbers on on the engine cowl.
May just have a bad wire or dirty connection or faulty regulator.
Cheers
Max.
