    YM1700 with water pump overheating

    I have same tractor same problem, had radiator rodded out, cured it. It now runs around 160 degrees. I'm betting it was not rodded out, mine was resoldered and painted. Cost 75 bucks.

    Fuel filter leak

    If the tube will slide back in, I would JB weld it. Clean real well with lacquer thinner or acetone

    Reading PJB's post I saw pic of drawbar, I bought a yanmar RM1400 tiller and that same drawbar came with it. Is it even used with the tiller?

    YM 1700 starter solenoid

    It may be Alan, but when I lightly tap starter it quits spinning. I'm thinking solenoid link may be binding, it was very hard to get the spring to stay on solenoid when I installed it. I'm going to JB weld it to solenoid and try that.
