Why does the engine turn over and stop like the battery or starter is bad? How do I adjust the valves on a Craftsman riding mower 17.5 HP engine?

Hello Joe How old is the battery? Battery life in mowers is bad because they usually aren't well looked after in the winter, 6 months use and 6 months neglect. Also fuel is often left in the tank and in the carb which goes funky. Do you have a compression tester?

Craftsman Riding Lawn Mower 17.5hp. Why Engine Turns Slow, Starter Hanging Up, Won't Turn Over?

Hi Joe Still having trouble with that old mower! I thought you fixed it? You stated the reason it was turning over and lock up the mower had the wrong starter on it the Starter Motor Drive Bendix had 16 teeth and the mower needed a Starter with 14 teeth so I changed the Starter out. That's what I did. I reckon you are using batteries that are wearing out and don't have the required amps. Jump start the mower using your Santa Fe with the engine running. Or take the batteries to an Interstate Battery shop and ask them to test them. That is free, but they can also pulse charge them to desulphate the plates. There is a small charge for that and they keep the battery for 24 hours. Other things you can try. Remove the starter and connect it direct to the battery. See if it spins freely? Turn the engine over by hand to see if there is stiffness. Then do it with the plugs out. ..

Does anyone know the length of a craftsman part number 66054 link arm.

The Craftsman part number 66054 corresponds to a link arm, but without specific details or access to Craftsman's database, it's challenging to provide the exact length of this part. To find the precise length of the link arm with part number 66054, I recommend checking the product description or reaching out to Craftsman directly through their customer support or website. They should be able to provide you with the accurate information you need.

LT 100 craftsman riding lawn mower 17.5hp what all can cause the engine to turn over slow?

Clean the battery posts and the connectors with a wire brush and then smear them with Vaseline. Tighten the connectors well. Take of the negative ground to the chassis and do the same with that. Also take the battery to an Interstate Battery outlet and ask them to load test the battery. Voltage is one thing but Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) is the important part of a battery. They do it for free and it takes 2 minutes, and you get a printout, CCA on the battery to CCA Actual. ..

My Craftsman V20 battery powered weed-eater starts and stops after about 3 seconds. How can I fix this?

  • To fix a weed eater that won't start, check the fuel to ensure that you are using the correct gas-to-oil ratio for the weed eater. Then, you have to change the spark plug. After that, replace the fuel filter. Now, you need to review the starting process of the weed eater.

What is the nominal max rpm for the Craftsman model 358-351910-18 42 cc 18 inch chainsaw? I assume it is the same as the corresponding Poulan model.

As you mentioned, Craftsman chainsaws are often manufactured by Poulan, and they may share similar specifications with corresponding Poulan models. However, without specific documentation or further details, it's challenging to provide an exact RPM value for this particular model. To obtain accurate and reliable information about the nominal maximum RPM for the Craftsman chainsaw, I recommend referring to the owner's manual or contacting the manufacturer directly. They will be able to provide you with the precise specifications for this specific model.

I have a 2014 Craftsman T1600 Riding Mower. I need to know if there is a way to adjust the tension of the deck belt?

Question edited for clarity. I have removed all the information that isn't needed. Question moved from Cars and Trucks. The answer is the same as it was yesterday. All Ride on Mowers have a tensioner for the belt. Some have a spring operated idler pulley, some have bolts you slacken and physically move the drive pulley in tracks. One you have the belt correctly tensioned, you tighten the bolts. Look at the videos
