If the belt is good and just popped off, then you may be able to remove the plastic cover on the bottom of the mower to gain access enough to get it worked back on. If the belt is bad, I seem to recall this one being a bit of a job for a little belt, and I think the blade clutch has to come off to change it.

20 hp briggs won't turn over

W

wattsje on Jul 03, 2006

I have a 20 HP Briggs and stratton on my yard machine that won't turn over. The motor (model 461707, type 0143E1) would move maybe a quarter or half turn then freeze. I can turn the motor by hand and it will turn over freely if the spark plugs are out. It is as if the starter motor doesn't have enough power to get it going. I was about to try cleaning the carb and using a rebuild kit but a friend had me check the coil first. We took it off and sanded some rust off and tested the fusable link. After I put it back on and reinstalled a freshly charged battery I got nothing! Now the starter motor won't even lift to engage the flywheel. I've tested the starter solinoid with a light tester (I hear it click when I turn the key), and also the fuse. I'm really new to engine repair. I read about testing valve clearance? but it sounded fairly complicated and didn't make much sense to me. Is it possible I just have the space wrong on the coil? How do I make sure the gap is correctly set? Thanks for any help anyone can provide!Read More

Husqvarna trimmer question of the day

O

oneshotman on Apr 25, 2011

I have a 225L trimmer that is about 12-14 years old. It is still in good shape and runs good. I have always stored this trimmer hanging up with the shaft pointing down. I the last time I used in a few months ago I put it up like usual but when I went to get it down I noticed that it had leaked gas. It appears to have come out the carburetor since the air filter was soaked in oil. It has never done this before. What needs to be done to fix it? I don't have the room to store it laying down so hanging it on the wall is about my only option. Do I need to hang it the other direction? or is there a seal or gasket that needs to be replaced. I am kinda perplexed as to why it would start leaking now and not for the past 12 years. Thanks in advance for any help you can supply on this.Read More
