If you have one of the older 180's using the Kawasaki engine and built in Horicon Wisconsin, The relay kit will solve your problem. If it is one of those fake jobs built in Tennessee do what ever works for you.

On many of the JD lawn tractors they suffer from a voltage drop at the starter. Sometimes will drag or not work at all even with a hot batt. Add a starter relay kit, ##AM107421 and that problem will go away. When the starter is engaged, this kit allows the full 12 volts to the starter and no...

No one has guessed yet but to me it sounds like a sack of home grown.

You is right about the R. There is a chance that old dog was a military job used as a pump engine. I see it was painted green and I have seen a few of them restored and in sad condition. Does the oil fill have a chain on it? That is usually a dead give away it was a military engine. Keep it...

Flyin', Iffin' it says NP then thats what ya Gots, a model NP built some time tween 1940 and 1954. It should have a 2.00" bore and stroke. Those numbers at the bottom I think are valve clearance and point gap. If you want some really good info, try A1lawnaeration@gmail.com.

Bbqjoe, the metal valve caps help but to get maximum HP, I mix my air special. Two days prior to mixing, I have a few good helpings of beans, corn bread and onions. It really makes you blow and go. Mounting the tires upside-down will sometimes help.

Yer Gettin' there Courts. You gonna love this thing, it's cute when it is running. Your fuel tank looks a little worse than mine did but I filled it with some old swing set chain and diesel, sealed it up shook the heck out of it every time I walked by it for a week. I washed it out, added...

Try Jimenginedecals on Flea-pay. Yes, some parts are expensive but I just watched and waited and picked up a few pieces pretty reasonable. I got the intake valve for $7.50-free ship but never was able to find an exhaust valve. I found one NOS but passed on the $20 price. Just take your time...

It can be done!! I started with a 1952 5S last summer and found that just about any part you may need is available. There are lots on Flea-pay. The only part I found that is hard to locate is the exhaust valve, everything else is pretty easy including period correct decals. Good luck and...

No screws at all??? In that case, hit yourself with the rubber mallet, you started this mess.

Stop right where you are. Do NOT remove that part!! That is a Type 3 Hybird 58 Max Interval Eludium K-72 High Volume Bakewell B.S. Unit with Hollingsworth up-grade internals with adjustable Blivit tube. If removed it will affect the operation of the Sonar Takeestascope Klyde-Byde Baditer and...

Find the wires that come out of the engine block. Disconnect the Yellow wire.

I have two like the ones posted on a Carter my grandson rides. (Thrashes) They work out just great.

For what its worth, I had the same problem with my Predator 212. My problem was with the fuel tank vent. I had run a longer hose from the tank and zip tied it in a horizontal position on the frame rail with a plastic fuel filter in the end. I found the filter would fill with fuel and cause me...
