 | | |  | bmburks Posts: 6, Reputation: ane New Member | | Apr 27, 2009, 09:39 AM | | | Why is my Snapper riding mower engine screeching? I purchased an erstwhile red Snapper riding mower a year ago. The whole engine had been reworked, but now it starts screeching afterwards I crank it. The oil & gas are fine (no h2o mixed in with the gas or gas mixed in with the oil). Is at that place anything I can do? I know the basics as far equally replacing parts, but not enough to know what's going on with it. :) | | |  | Dwelling house Repair & Remodeling Good | | Apr 27, 2009, 10:18 AM | | Then does the engine really start? Pull the spark plug and plow the starter, practice you hear the screeching? | | |  | Kiss Posts: 12,510, Reputation: 839 Uber Member | | Apr 27, 2009, x:20 AM | | If it has a pull rope and a briggs and stratton engine, and so there is a mutual trouble. The clutch under the blower housing. Clean or supplant. There a 5 ball bearings in it. | | | | | bmburks Posts: 6, Reputation: one New Fellow member | | April 27, 2009, 11:04 AM | | The engine does start, and one time I adjust the gas flow, which I well-nigh e'er take to exercise subsequently starting it, it continues to run. I've checked the spark plug and it is fine. Information technology does seem as though it's running a lot slower than information technology was. I will go now and check the clutch. Thanks both so much for your help. It'due south been trial & mistake for me as I am female, lol. This is my 2nd used snapper in about 7 yrs. I kept the old ane for replacement parts. | | | | | bmburks Posts: half-dozen, Reputation: 1 New Fellow member | | Apr 27, 2009, 12:17 PM | | I take another question... how practice you supercede the belt? I know how to put it back on once it jumps off, but when I tried to take it off completely to supercede information technology, I couldn't get it off because of a red (prong/bar?) in the dorsum of the mower. I also thought I knew where the clutch was, but when I saturday the mower straight up on the back two bars, I couldn't tell which i it was. Is it the round disc that sets about the back of the mower? I know I sound like a complete airhead, but it'southward so hot outside & I've gotten no where over a skilful menstruation & I feel like taking a gun & shooting the stinking thing, lol. It is a Briggs & Stratton engine with a pull rope, but I don't use the pull rope, it has a offset push button. | | | | | KISS Posts: 12,510, Reputation: 839 Uber Member | | Apr 27, 2009, 12:44 PM | | How about a model number? If the screaching is intermittant and occurs at any fourth dimension randomly, so the clutch under the blower housing is a practiced possibility. This screech comes from the pull rope expanse. Since yous utilize the starter, youmay be able to remove the blower housing which contains the pull rope to see if the screech goes away. The clutch works by flinging 5 ball bearings when you pull the rope which makes the rope and flywheel engage. If the area where the assurance are gets muddied, 1 or more assurance hang and spins the rope and makes a screachy racket. | | | | | bmburks Posts: half dozen, Reputation: 1 New Member | | Apr 28, 2009, 03:36 PM | | Hello in that location, sorry for the tardily reply. I managed to get the blade belt changed. Whew!! What a nightmare! The model number for the mower is 30085S, and the model number for the engine is 191702 (8hp). I cutting grass with it today, and kept having to adjust the gas menstruum. After a couple hours of cut, adjusting the gas flow wasn't working anymore, and it was shooting out black smoke. It kept wanting to cut off one time the blade was engaged. I checked to make sure nothing was defenseless upward in the blade. Could information technology cutting off have anything to do with the clutch? The oil level is fine & it'due south the same colour it was when it was put in, not the slightest chip discolored. Cheers again for your help! | | | | | bmburks Posts: 6, Reputation: 1 New Fellow member | | Jun 12, 2009, 02:00 PM | | Wow! So many troubles since my concluding post. Information technology turned out that my oil was Blackness, so I replaced it, but that still didn't work. I wound up having to supercede the starter because the inside of the starter was worn downward completely. I used information technology merely once since I drained the black oil & put new oil in it. I noticed it was shooting black smoke out over again, so I checked the oil & sure enough it was blackness again after only one usage of new oil. I just changed the oil again & I can get information technology to turn over at all. I hooked the batery upwardly to my hubby's newer mower, only it still wouldn't turn over, leaving me thinking that something major might be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions at all? | | | | | Kiss Posts: 12,510, Reputation: 839 Uber Member | | Jun 12, 2009, 08:35 PM | | I desire to help merely computer being repaired. Phone blazon getting old. As well much oil? Ready screech. Most $fifteen remove plug. Does it crank with rope? Key? | | | | | bmburks Posts: 6, Reputation: ane New Member | | Jun 13, 2009, 01:27 PM | | | The screech turned out to be the starter, or at least I think it was. I put correct at a quart of oil in it after I changed information technology. I wasn't certain how much to put in it, then I poured oil in it until it was full. Is a quart for a 8 hp Briggs & Stratton too much? I'm wondering & hoping it'due south the spark plug, it won't crank at all, information technology doesn't even endeavour to crank. When I took the spark plug out it had black all over it, so I'k hoping that's what's causing it, it'due south just starting to seem like a domino impact. Thank you so much for your assistance, I empathise the estimator problems, I but got mine out of the shop as well. | | | | | Buss Posts: 12,510, Reputation: 839 Uber Member | | Jun 13, 2009, 09:06 PM | | Likewise much oil. Dipstick. Add together, wait 5 min. remove ds. Wipe. Insert. Read. etc. go spray carb cleaner & plug. Too be continued Mon. | | | | | KISS Posts: 12,510, Reputation: 839 Uber Member | | Jun 15, 2009, ten:22 AM | | OK, now that you lot got a new plug and carb cleaner... Spray carb cleaner into the plug hole. Place rag over opening and crank until the gunk comes out. Brand certain the oil level is correct. The but way to tell, is to add a little. Wipe off dipstick. Insert. Wait about 20 sec. Remove and check level. | | |
