@outofround 4 месяца назад

For me, it turned out to be a plugged up muffler. I didn't know much about this roadside find mower which was newer than all the other mowers I own! The first thing I checked was the flywheel key and it was OK. Since it was easy to do, I unscrewed the muffler and pulled the cord. NO KICKBACK. And after a couple of pulls it started right up! (Although a little noisy.)

Great video.. Mark Nye thefixitguy here in Kaneohe Oahu.. I thought it was the valves but I'll take a look at this on the Troy Bilt mower I'm working on for a customer. It really jerks hard out ofnyiurbhand and the blade was missing when the customer dropped it off and said it just blew up and quit. I got it started and runs at a low rpm but it's really is a nightmare when you try to start it. So I'm probably thinking he hit something since the blade is missing. I also noticed the deck had a crack in it buy the engine so I'm thinking he hit something thank for the video Thanks for the video.

@johncollins8304 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. I've heard something recently that is very counterintuitive: the less the timing is out (but it IS out), i.e. the smaller the degree to which the key and slot are misaligned, the GREATER the kickback. What do you think? I have a three wheel brushcutter, AS Motor, a beast, which frightened me with its violence. I 've read that kickback can injure people for a YEAR! Well, I looked at the key of this brute and it looked fine to me, but I was looking for an obvious misalignment thinking for a kickback like that it must be seriously misaligned. Some professionals have said you need to pull like a man, man! Erm, no thank you. I like my shoulder just where it is. I've refused even to look at the thing for the past 5 years as I walk past it.

@watcherwatchmen7785 11 месяцев назад

Well, even though I was 90 percent sure that the key was the culprit, I took it apart and the key was fine. The key has no marks and isn't deformed or sheared at all! The only other place that could be the problem would be on the underside of the engine if there's a plastic timing part that might have cracked. I started up the mower and heard a horrible knocking sound coming from the engine. Took off the head and the cylinder walls aren't scored or damaged, which is good, but I'm not running it until I've drained the oil and split the crankcase open to check out the guts. Any thoughts on something I might have missed?

@ozzstars_cars 11 месяцев назад

A valve that isn't opening can causes that hard pull.

@watcherwatchmen7785 11 месяцев назад

@@ozzstars_cars That would make sense. I just tore it apart because last time I started it I heard a banging/knocking sound inside. Like metal hitting metal. On inspection none of the plastic parts are broken. Piston seems decent and tight, no marred bearing surfaces. No egg shaped thru holes. This is a real head scratcher. I turned the crankshaft slowly and watched the piston and the valves and they all seem to be working in time too. TDC both valves are closed. Intake opens, exhaust is closed. Exhaust opens, intake is closed. Lobes are smooth and undamaged. I checked the valves with feeler gauges and they are about .008 and .009, so I'll adjust those tomorrow by lapping the seats till they're at .005". Still can't figure it out. I'll just do one thing at a time until I hear or see a change.

While the replacements are dirt cheap if you don't have one... an aluminum bolt a hacksaw a bench grinder and a fine file for final fitting can make one in about 5 minutes. If you don't have an impact wrench wedging a wood block between the blade and mower deck works while you loosen that nut.

@marknye51.thefixitguy 4 месяца назад

Remove the blade on your mower and then try and start it. You'll notice that the engine wants to kick back and pull teh recoil ripe out of your hand. What I understand after reading about this is the blade acts like a counter balance from the flywheel and crank. Without the blade you'll notice it kickbacks and will pull the rope out of your hand.
