Hi everyone, I picked up a Honda HRR2163TDA for $50 today. The thing runs great (for grass cutting), but it was sold with the self propel system in a non-functioning state. As in, I put the mower in the truck then he handed me the gears for the wheels. So, my question, can someone help me out with some guidance on putting this thing back together? Below is a link to the diagram of what I'm working with. My main concern is how parts numbers 3 and 4 integrate into the pinion gear (part number 2)? The rest honestly seems intuitive, but it's coming to me missing parts 3 and 4, so I suspect his lack of ability to get the self propel to run might have something to do with the fact that he was missing parts. Call it a hunch. :) It sounds like there's some basic things I can do concerning checking the belt and cable tension and I'll troubleshoot from there. Thanks everyone!

I brought my Generac pressure washer in for service simply because the threads on the fitting that connected to the pressure hose were galled for unknown reasons (I am always super careful). The pressure washer has just about 2 weeks left on the warranty. It has been pretty good to me until I turned it in for service. I asked Generac to simply send me the fitting but they refused since the item was on the pressure washer itself. They did send me a new pressure hose with no issues. Below is the pressure washer in question. [url]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T6UFDS/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1[/url] When I got the pressure washer back from service I started it up. It began to emit blue smoke badly. I shut it down and checked the oil. The oil poured profusely out from both dipsticks. I changed the oil and the level now remains the same, however the idle races up and down very rapidly now. The rods to the carb (move back and forth very quickly now). The pressure washer is very smooth when I pull the trigger to use it (yes I always run it with water), but the second I let go of the trigger the idle is very fast and unstable. I am scared to bring it back to these guys. They advise that sometimes things just happen. :mad: I am concerned that someone overfilled the oil or that gas is running into the oil supply and mixing. I'd figure that Generac doesn't cover seals if that just happens to be part of the problem or the problem. They could have just avoided all of this by sending me the fitting. Thoughts? Thanks
