Redmax blower eb7001 seems to lose power and won't start until cool

Hello Everyone,

I think the issue with this blower may be more serious than when I posted last year. It gave me trouble at the end of last season on my last lawn and as a result of advice here, I bought the new badass echo over the winter. But, I would like the old Redmax up and running as well. After running for a few minutes with good throttle response, but making a bit of a clanking noise, I hit the throttle and it did not really respond and then it bogged down and died. It would not...

Any cross reference for Kohler ecv860 O2 sensor?

Have a 2018 cheetah with a Kohler 29 efi and I'm pretty sure the oxygen sensor is bad. It spits and sputtering with black smoke out the exhaust.

Unplug O2 sensor and it runs perfect. It had a Delphi OSP+ 28163974 on it. Any Napa or auto store chain that has a replacement? I called Napa and they said no matchup. But reading old threads on lawnsite members were saying there is.

Anyone know?

Stihl br320 backpack blower no start

Last season the blower was working just fine on one property and at the next won't start. It has new: plug, carb, fuel filter and lines. It has good spark and it's getting fuel. Just in case it wasn't I sprayed a flammable substance into the intake. Exhaust isn't restricted and it makes no difference if it's off or on. Fuel tank vent and hose is clean and has been substituted for a good one from my 420 Magnum. Put the carb on the 420 and it starts fine. Intake spacer is clean and clear, no...

New here and hoping someone has some ideas. 2015 Scag Turf Tiger (STT61V-26CH-EFI)
with the kohler 26.5hp ECH749-3063 engine. It has an issue starting. Sometimes I have to try to start it 10 times and it tries to die when it starts like fuel starvation. But once it's started it runs pretty well. Bogs a little when the PTO is engaged. It also had thrown P0171 fuel code. I replaced the mechanical fuel pump on the valve cover (with new kohler one), replaced the fuel filter and drained and...

Help with my skid sprayer pump

Got a Kohler powered with hypo d30 pump. Went to clean out the tank after spraying and I ran out of water in the tank. Added some more to rinse and nothing coming out of the hose. I looked and the diaphragm is sucked in. It is usually pumping in and out while running but its just sucked in. Did the pump fail or does it have something to do with running out of liquid in the tank, or both? I have a brand new pump and motor I just got to have as a backup so I will switch them out but will...

ASV RC30 Drive Issues

Hi All,
Wonder if anyone can help.
I have purchased a used ASV RC30. I believe there is an issued with the drive motor on the left hand side. It had drive when cold but after about 30 mins it loses pilot pressure and you can feel its lost drive on this side. Its a Sauer TMK 315 FV motor.
I assume there is wear in the drive motor allowing the oil to bypass when its hot and has lost viscosity. I have removed the drive motor today but have not pulled it apart yet. Some clever person has had...

I got a 25hp kawasaki(horizontal). I'm having to reset the rpms every other day cause it either loses rpms or gain rpms. I can't figure out whats going on, the speed adjustment slide is not coming loose and moving itself. Also, if it was coming loose, I should only loose rpms. My rpms have gotten up to 4,000, when they shoudl be around 3600. I've been pulling my hair out on this one, anyone got any help?

I got a Scag Turf Tiger non running for free from a friend. I use to use this mower all the time so I’m familiar with it. It has a Kawasaki FD661D on it with 952 hours.

I was told it had firing/timing issues which I think is going to be a sheared fly wheel key. Below is a picture of what I found today? Does this seem right?

Also it was left setting outside for a bit and the air cleaner screws were not tight thus getting water into the carb and down into the engine. Today I drained all...

37 EFI oil question

So I know it’s recommended to not use full synthetic oil until 100 hrs, what should I use for my 37 EFI? Currently I’m running 10w40 Kawasaki part synthetic, would I be ok to use the Kawasaki 20w50 blend part syn? And then at 100 hrs go to the Vanguard oil full syn 15w50/20w50, Or should I just switch to Vanguard oil full syn now?

Thank you

Eclip installation issues on wheel swap

Hey All

anyone have issues installing their eclip / e-clip back onto their mower after taking off the wheel?

I’m having a heck of a time after removing my wheel to replace my brake bands and getting the eclip to set into that groove. There are two washers that sit between the wheel and the clip and it’s dang near impossible to get that clip installed.

Any tips or tricks? I’ve used a pair of pliers to get the clip off, now do I need a tool to get the clip back on? I’m tempted to remove...

Anyone know how to get the damn things off? i have one with some broken fins. I cant even get it off with an impact. it spins a little when i hit it with the impact but it should still crank loose. Is there a way i can hold the pump so i can get maximum torque on it? Maybe its threaded left but i doubt it. thanks!

Kaw FX1000V 37DFI dead!!

I have a 2016 Ferris 3200z with a Kaw 37HP DFI with 175 hours. Last year it started acting strange and would over rev, randomly and also drop rpms, randomly. Doing my Google research I didn't find much info, but the code that was showing up was a throttle body sensor malfunction(code 11). I replaced the sensor and it is still exhibiting the same symptoms. I'm real hesitant to spend $1k to replace the throttle body/ecm on a engine that also has know issues with the cams/valve train....
