What keeps the battery charged on my zero turn mower

The battery on a zero turn mower is kept charged by an alternator or a series of magnets inside the flywheel of the mower. The belt on the alternator turns and generates power to keep the battery charged . The magnets inside the flywheel produce AC voltage as they pass the coils of the stater, and the voltage created needs to fall within a specific range so that the charge going back into the battery exceeds the voltage going out of the battery as it operates the lawn mower .

Won't crank over, quit in middle of mowing

If your mower won't crank over and quit in the middle of mowing, there could be several possible reasons for this issue. Here are some common troubleshooting steps you can take:
  1. Check the Fuel Level: Ensure that there is enough fuel in the mower's tank. If the fuel level is low, it might not have enough fuel to run.
  2. Inspect the Spark Plug: A fouled or damaged spark plug can prevent the engine from starting. Remove the spark plug and inspect it for signs of fouling, such as deposits or a worn electrode. Replace the spark plug if necessary.
  3. Fuel Quality: Make sure you are using fresh, clean fuel. Old or contaminated fuel can cause starting problems. Drain the fuel tank and replace it with fresh fuel if needed.
  4. Air Filter: Check the air filter for dirt and debris. A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, affecting its performance. Clean or replace the air filter as needed.
  5. Check for Obstructions: Inspect the mower deck and the blades for any obstructions or debris that could be preventing the blades from turning freely.
  6. Safety Switches: Most mowers have safety switches that prevent the engine from starting if certain conditions are not met (e.g., the blade engagement lever is engaged, the seat is not occupied). Check these safety switches to ensure they are functioning correctly.
  7. Battery: If your mower has a battery, check its charge. If the battery is low or dead, it might not provide enough power to crank the engine. Charge or replace the battery as necessary.
  8. Ignition System: Inspect the ignition system, including the ignition coil, for any visible issues. If there are problems, such as damaged wires or connections, they may need to be repaired or replaced.
  9. Fuel System Issues: Problems with the carburetor or fuel lines can also cause starting issues. Inspect the fuel system for any clogs, leaks, or other issues.
  10. Examine the Oil Level: Ensure that the oil level is within the recommended range. Low oil levels can lead to engine damage and difficulty starting.
If you've gone through these steps and the problem persists, it may be best to consult the mower's manual or seek the assistance of a professional mechanic to diagnose and address the issue.

An oak tree is planted when it is 250 centimeters tall.what is the height in meters

250cm*1m/100cm = 2.5 meters. That's the "dimensional analysis" way (the way engineers do it). Same answer as 250/100=2.5 meters. Did I just do your home work for you? I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/bill_f6ca18ca1db028ed

Chainsaw chain rotates when starter pulley is pulled, why?

20" is long for a saw that size but that in itself didn't cause the issue. What matters is proper chain pitch/gauge and length (link count). According to the manual it's 3/8 pitch .050 gauge chain and by extrapolating link count, it should be 68. But that's assuming original drive sprocket pitch/gauge.

Remove the bar and chain. The clutch/sprocket should spin freely. Check the bar didn't make contact with the sprocket which would imply the chain tension wasn't maintained.

Countax c550 loss of transmission and cutting deck.

The owners manual shows 5 fuses. Remove and check each fuse for continuity.

Is the CHARGE indicator lit while engine is running?... regardless check battery voltage with a DMM. With engine running at medium throttle battery voltage should be >13.0VDC. Less than 12.6VDC implies charging system and/or battery failure. Less than 12.0VDC and electronics may not work properly.

The wiring diagram is included in the owners manual available no fee at the following URL.

We need to replacement part for the Party Fountain pump. Where do I find one?

There are no parts listed for it. If you add the works 'parts' to this query it quickly disappears to Pond Pumps. You would have to remove the pump from it and search by the numbers that will be printed or embossed on it. Google will find it, or search Amazon direct.
