Thanks Max,
If I pull the carby down I would give evrything a good clean so that should fix it. I always give the tube a good clean with carby cleaner. I was trying to avoid it because I couldn't be bothered

Hi Lawncutter , yes Norm is right if you have the gx120 engine already then buying the clutch with a 3/4 hole would be the easiest
solution , but if you first need to buy an engine get one with the 20mm 5/8 shaft like Loncin or Lifan or Honda etc.

Cheers
Max.

Hi Ken
Welcome here.
Firstly you need to fix the choke, very important, they won't start cold without it and until warmed up you still need full choke to restart it again. Once running you can turn the choke off but until it is warm you need full choke and I mean full choke

Seeing that this Greenfield has a 8.5 Hp motor John ,I had thought it looked a bigger motor ,I'd say now this
was originally a 8 Hp Briggs motor .

The front of the bonnet being lower shows it being the 8 Hp model and not the 10 / 11 HP model

There is a manual here, but you may need to copy and paste the following into address bar https://greenfield.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Tractor-Complete.pdf#:~:text=MODEL%20DESCRIPTION%208%20VR%20or%208%20VE,recoil%20start.%20Page%202.%20GREENFIELD%20TRACTOR%20MOWER.

Ah, I see Hudson has a classic hardware limitation (lack of thumbs). My database suggests
upgrading his treats to see if it fixes the tool-delivery latency .

Hi Bumps,
That will do it no problems, I thought you had split the wheels apart. It is not too difficult to make up a jig so you can press them back together but this idea saves the messing around

Hi MM,

It sounds like it could be The 1E44F-5 is a common 52cc, Engine Specifications Displacement: 51.6cc to 52ccPower Output: Typically ranges between 1.4 kW and 1.8 kWOperating Speed: Max engine speeds of 6,500 to 8,500 RPM, with an idle of around 3,000 RPMFuel Ratio: Requires a 2-cycle oil to gasoline mixture, commonly at 25:1

I usually keep them as they use them in a ton of equipment and are a handy motor for a lot of projects.



Lawn & Garden Equipment

Heavy-Duty Brush Cutters / Whipper Snippers: This is the absolute "sweet spot" for this engine. It is the default motor for almost every unbranded, budget straight-shaft brush cutter on the market.

5-in-1 Multi-Tools: The exact same power head paired with quick-release split-shafts to switch between a line trimmer, pole chainsaw, hedge trimmer, and brush blade.

Mini Garden Tillers / Cultivators: Because the 51cc motor is lighter than the 61cc, it’s the most popular choice for those small, lightweight tillers used to churn up garden soil and flower beds.

Lawn Edgers: Dedicated wheeled or stick edgers used to cut clean lines along sidewalks.

2. Recreation & Gas Toys (The "G-Scooter" Engine)

Stand-Up Gas Scooters: If you see a generic Chinese gas scooter (often called a "Stand-Up Extreme" or "Mach 1"), it almost certainly has this 51cc/52cc engine bolted to a small chain-drive gearbox.

Gas Skateboards / Motoboards: Off-road skateboards with hand-held throttle cables and a 51cc engine mounted over the rear trucks.

Pocket Bikes & Mini Dirt Bikes: Small "pocket rockets" (like the generic MTA2 or X1/X2 styles) and 50cc-class kids' dirt bikes.

Drift Trikes: Custom or factory-built three-wheelers with slick PVC rear tires for drifting on asphalt.

3. Farm & Construction Tools

One-Man Earth Augers (Post Hole Diggers): While the 61cc is used for heavy, two-man augers, this 51cc engine is the go-to for lightweight, one-man post hole diggers.

1-Inch Water Transfer Pumps: Lightweight, portable pumps used by farmers and homeowners to move water out of flooded areas or trenches.

Gas-Powered Fence Post Drivers: Handheld pounding tools used to drive T-posts into the ground using a heavy internal piston slammed by this motor.

Portable Winches: Small, gas-powered capstan winches used by hunters to drag game or loggers to pull small trees.

4. Marine & Special Applications

Kayak & Dinghy Outboards: Extremely popular for budget, air-cooled 2.5 HP to 3 HP outboard motors used on small fishing boats and inflatables.

Gas-Powered Concrete Vibrators: Used on construction sites to settle wet concrete and remove air bubbles.

The Secret to this Motor

Whether the sticker on the plastic shroud says 51.2cc, 52cc, 517, or has a brand name like Demon, Texas, Viron, or Timbertech, if it has a 44mm cylinder bore, it is the exact same engine. Parts are universally interchangeable, dirt cheap, and available everywhere.


Cheers
Max.

Legend, thank you once again
