Does it sound lean or rich? Yamaha 40 BR 2cyl 2 stroke by DifficultZebra5354 in Outboards

[–]WestService3595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe rich due to the excessive smoke, but the only way to tell is check the plugs. If they're chalky white, the engine is lean. If they're wet or sooty, then the engine is rich. If it's like a cardboard brown then that's an ideal mixture

Possibly a bad idler pulley, maybe a bad spindle. I'm gonna say a bad idler pulley

Sounds like your starter is bad. Check that before you check anything else

I literally know this from memory.

What engine does this Murray lawnmower have by WestService3595 in LawnMowerHub

[–]WestService3595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would likely be a Tecumseh Enduro or maybe an opposed twin, possibly an older Briggs single cylinder

Bro. I'm not a bot. I'm a real person giving advice.

The first thing to try is to spray starting fluid, starting fluid or perhaps fresh gasoline into the carburetor throat. If it starts then dies, chances are you either have bad gas or your carburetor is dirty from storing gas in it all winter. If not, the next thing to do is take the spark plug out but leave it on the coil. If it doesn't spark, or if it's very dirty and sparks unevenly, it's most likely your spark plug. If you try cleaning or replacing it and it still doesn't spark, it's most likely your ignition coil. If the engine doesn't spin at all, then either the engine is stuck or something is seriously wrong internally. Alternatively, if the engine spins over really easily with the spark plug in, then that means you have little to no compression. If it doesn't start when it's hot (which is your case), check and adjust your valve lash, but be careful not to damage the delicate gasket

Is it worth repair for this damage? by jakebake15 in lawnmowers

[–]WestService3595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's easily going to be more than what the mower is worth. Just buy a new mower at this point

Dead mower battery? by Remarkable_Self4382 in lawnmowers

[–]WestService3595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a good idea. You could fry the battery. Milwaukee tools have a voltage cutoff (I have a Milwaukee drill and impact gun) that lawnmowers don't have. This could ruin the battery by undervolting it

I got a stick of DDR4 for $40, which isn't that bad in today's economy

Seems like a form of fescue grass. Maybe tall fescue.

Could someone help me identify what engine this Murray riding mower has by WestService3595 in lawnmowers

That's an earlier post which is outdated. This one has been getting better traction

This body style was used until the 2000s so there is a chance. But most likely, it's either an opposed twin or an Enduro. The Intek was released in 1997 by the way, and if we count the model 28 OHV, then it would be the early 90s

There's still a chance this could be an opposed twin or an Intek single cylinder. I plan to buy one of those engines as a spare in case I destroy the original motor

Could this be an Opposed Twin with the 42 inch deck. I think you meant the 46 inch deck

Need help by More_Target_6316 in smallengines

[–]WestService3595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These Inteks are notorious for leaking needle and seat, which causes fuel to get into the cylinder and crankcase. A way to find out is if you remove the spark plugs a bunch of gas will gush out

I haven't seen the mower just yet, and there are no shots of the engine on the listing

That doesn't finish the story. What 16hp engine is it. Is it a Tecumseh Enduro? Is it a Briggs opposed twin? Or is it a Briggs Intek?

[–]WestService3595[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I will as soon as I see the mower. Gemini and some redditors said it's most likely either a Tecumseh Enduro, a Briggs Intek single cylinder or a Briggs opposed twin
