    Stabil in the mix?

    To each their own. I have personally worked on hundreds of small engine carbs that had what appears to be almost sugar crystals in the fuel bowls, and would say to the customer afterwards that I noticed you were using stabil, and their response was how do you know. Never saw the crystals with...

    Stabil in the mix?

    I won't use Stabil in anything. Like you have seen too many failures. Part of the reason is they claim that it protects fuel UP to 2 years, And the reasoning for UP to 2 years is because the unused part of the bottle expires 2 years after opening.

    replacing hydraulic oil in Ferris Zero Turn

    If they are hydro-gear pumps than I wouldn't be afraid to run 20w50 since that is the hydrogear recommended weight oil

    Need help identifying finish mower

    Mower shows hints of being Rhino. And yes they made left hand discharge. I have a FM72 with left discharge, left hand blades, and left handed blade bolts.

    Stabil in the mix?

    May want to check the oil mix bottle. Some 2 stroke mix oils already contain a fuel stabilizer

    Gator XUV 620i wiring diagram

    Appreciate the manual. The unit I am working on is either a 2007-2008. And the 620i is a twin cylinder EFI engine so a little more complicated than the turfgator manual will assist with. But I will keep if for future reference. Thank you.

    Gator XUV 620i wiring diagram

    Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the 620i gator. Ex-JD tech disassembled the fuse block after it wouldn't start after replacing faulty fuel pump

    Kohler 26hp twin surging at high throttle, okay at medium to 70% throttle

    No, it is an idle circuit issue. When not under load an engine runs on the idle circuit of the carb. Even at full throttle the idle circuit is the primary, and the high speed jet doesn't come into play unless under load.

    Bad switch

    I believe the minimum post requirement was put in a few years ago to combat link spamming. I believe the post count was set at 5 if I remember correctly.

    Murray rider mower spindels/jack shafts

    Murray did testing several years ago which determined that there is some mixing of grease in the bearings even though the inner seals are in place. I don't think they actually published their findings and the only people that have ever heard of the study are old Murray dealers. Basically it...

    Murray rider mower spindels/jack shafts

    Stop pumping. The cavities are shipped dry from the factory so you are filling a large void with most likely fully sealed bearings that are not going to see any or very little of that large cavity of grease,
