    exhaust system

    Thanks much. Hopefully I'll finish it this weekend.

    Where can you find that silicone?

    exhaust system

    Thanks for the info. The exhaust pipe has a flanged end, not threaded. With a custom cut gasket and a little filing of the mounting hole I can get it to fit to the new engine. Should I put anything in the exhaust pipe to correct the minor mismatch in diameters? Should the exhaust system...

    exhaust system

    I'm replacing a 21 hp B&S engine with a 20 hp model on my Husky lawn tractor. The exhaust pipe to the old muffler is a little wider than the port off the cylinder of the new engine. Do I have to worry about about exhaust entering the larger system? Is back pressure a consideration? The...

    clutch removal

    I'm a rookie trying to remove a B&S Vanguard 21 horse engine from a Husqvarna YTH2148 tractor to install a new engine. All goes well until I try to remove the clutch from the shaft. When trying to remove the hex bolt on the underside, the shaft gently turns. Any suggestions? Standard tools...

    engine swap

    My Husqvarna YTH2148 needs its dead Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 21 horse engine replaced. Small Engine Warehouse suggests a B&S Vanguard 23 horse replacement but notes that while the shaft and mounts are identical some modifications may be necessary, for example the wiring. How difficult is an...

    still fried

    I had replaced the manifold gasket and when repositioning the generator didn't see that the belt had come off the pulley on the other side of the engine. That, to the best of my knowledge is what started this mess. The first time I went to start her up nothing turned, a faint noise was heard...

    Everything worked fine until I tried to start her up with a jammed fan belt. A faint noise then, and still, nothing. I'll try the new suggestions, really appreciate it. Thanks.

    still fried

    The small post is facing the block as in your photos. I misspoke and was questioning the starter switch, not the motor as it seemed to crank the engine fine when being jumped. Just trying to figure out with my limited understanding of the electricals why there is absolutely no response after a...

    still fried

    New solenoid, from a YT sponsor, and cleaned all the connections after trying to start my 8N with a stuck fan belt a couple of weeks ago. (posted 6-16) Not a whimper when pushing the starter. Yes, the ignition was on. Jumped her at the starter post from a 12v and she cranked well but didn't...

    lack of progress

    Posted on 6-16 regarding my non-starting 6v 8N after a stuck fan belt episode. Just replaced the solenoid and still not a sound when trying to start. I'm not sure I completely understand Dell's jump start procedure using a 12v batt. In addition to that, what else could I have done to the old...

    Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted.

    electrical

    While working on my 6 volt 8N the fan belt came off a pulley and stuck between it and the engine. When I went to fire her up a faint "pop" was heard from somewhere under the left side of the hood, then silence. With the fanbelt back in position, absolutely nothing happens when pushing the...
