I will try that. Thanks.

I ran out of gas yesterday so, in that case, it may be an air lock. But, I just turned it off to answer the phone last week, and it wouldn’t start for about a half hour. Then it started fine.

My JD E130 starts fine at first. However, if I need to stop in the middle of mowing, it will not restart. If I wait about an hour, it starts back up. Is it running hot? Does it have a vapor lock? Thanks.

FIXED! Thanks Randy and been there! After replacing the transmission belt, the parking brake works fine. It could very well have been the transmission being disengaged.

More info: On the dashboard, the orange "flip" parking brake lock/unlocker does not work. I can slide the orange plastic lever up and down and there is no resistance and it does nothing to "lock" the parking brake on or off. If I push the parking brake down with my foot and go to "lock" the...

My transmission belt broke while mowing on a hill. I disengaged the transmission, hooked it up to my pickup and pulled the mower up the driveway. I heard a squealing noise when I was almost to the top. I then realized I forgot to disengage my parking brake 🤯. Now when I push the brake down, I...

I found it. Thanks, Peter315!

I will look this afternoon. Thank you.

Thank you for your quick response. The spring looks in your picture looks thicker. I think it is #11 on my photo, but I can’t tell where it attaches. 🤷‍♂️

Extension Spring? I found a spring on the ground while mowing with my John Deere e130. I think it is an extension spring, but I don’t know where it goes on the deck. The diagrams are not clear as to the location. Does anyone have an e130 that they can take a picture of showing where it goes...

Yeah, I ordered a rebuild kit instead. Hopefully, that will fix the problem without laying out so much money.

Thank you very much for your help and insight. I will keep searching.

Thanks for your help. So is it 44N677? I messed up the float and a couple of gaskets. I think I will try a rebuild kit first.

Does anybody know where I can buy a replacement carburetor fo4 the E130 that is not $100 or $200? I have seen several $30 or $40 replacement carbs, but none for the E130. Ebay shows one, but it isn’t the right one. It shows two butterfly chokes and mine only has one. My carb is a Briggs and...

Solved! Somebody on another forum showed me I had the black plastic piece on the auto choke rod backwards and it wasn’t connecited. I switched it and it works fine, now. It is weird that such a small thing could make the mower work in reverse uphill, but not forward. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks to everybody...

This is a video of my auto choke rod. It may not be in the right place.

Can someone show me a picture of how the auto choke rod connects to a John Deere e130 lawn tractor? Thanks!

Thank you very much for a clear, well thought out answer. I will try what you suggested and hope for the best.

Thanks for all your help. I had siphoned the old gas out a month or so ago and replaced it with non ethanol gas. I think that should have taken care of any water or debris. Am I Wrong about that? I just don’t know.

That is my thought, too.

I tested the fuel pump like you suggested. It appears the new fuel pump is not pumping enough fuel. It was a knock off fuel pump. I ordered a Genuine John Deere fuel pump. I will let you know if it works. Thank you for your suggestion!

Thanks. I will try that.

Yes, I took it apart and cleaned the parts.

It sputters and the engine quits. I shorted the seat switch to see if that was it, but it wasn’t.

I took the carburetor off and sprayed it with carb cleaner. Then I wiped it down and reassembled it.

It is a Lawn tractor, 100 series. I notice when I first crank it, I get some black smoke. I also notice some wet oil on the spark plugs.

The blades turn fine in reverse.

The motor loses power or stops completely in forward almost every time I go uphill.

I am about to go crazy because my lawnmower won’t go up even a slight upgrade except in reverse. The motor dies and I have to back up the incline every time. I cleaned the carb, replaced the air filter, replaced the fuel pump, replaced the spark plugs, drained and replaced the gas with non...
