I have a koheler cv25s I put New flywheel new carburetor and still running lazy if I take off the carburetor cover run better but spilled to much gas out but if I put back it goes down can you help me please
Love the videos! I like working on my little small engines and your videos definitely helped me out!! Thanks guys for all your hard work!! Keep up the good job 👍🏻
Taryl I've been watching a lot of your videos, and now it's time to maybe buy something new instead of fixing all the time . the question I have is on the Toro Z master do you think a 26 1/2 horse Kohler command is sufficient horsepower for cutting through taller grass that doesn't get cut all the time or should I get the Kawasaki 31 hp What are your thoughts also on the Ferris 37 horse Vanguard big block
What I really like about Taryl, is his out an out enthusiazums for his work, not just doing it and kindly sharing his Hi-Voltage' smarts, but his humour only he and his crew could give us. Thanks, Taryl!
Thank YOU! I have a Sears mower with the 2-cylinder Kohler engine. Followed your instructions. Bought two spark testers ($10), hooked them up and sure enough, one side wasn't sparking. Got the replacement coils, installed them and all is well again. Saved me a bunch of money and headaches.
Again and again terrell demonstrates why he is, if not The very best then one of the best small engine mechanics available. I also like Mustie, Raley's small engine, Donnie boy 73, Steve's small engine saloon and individualized repair. I would put All 6 of these guys in the same room and then give them all the same complicated small engine fix with five of the same small engines with the same small problems and see who could figure it out and fix it first. And speed of repair would not count because I would give them all a 15 or 20 minute tolerance of time allotment to fix the engine. Now we are talking a really good UA-cam video!!! Demographics of these guys are pretty interesting, Two from canada, Two from the midwest, One who is an east coast transplant to the midwest, And one from down south, T-bone, who is a good old boy With some of the niftiest tricks I have seen along with taryl. Individualized repair is about the fastest though, BUT, the rest of these guys have been doing it for so long And they are all so good that they would give him a good run for his money. I'd probably put my money on donnie boy 73, But only by a whisker of a margin. I don't think there is a problem that must be hasn't seen ever!
Taryl, Thank you. I didnt think about a dirty coil until I watched this video. took it off, cleaned it up and BAM!!! right back to working. Keep up the good work I learn a LOT from your videos.
@@billmers3219 yessir. Usually rust doesnt cause an issue except when it actually is touching the flywheel making it drag. But yea gotta love the easy fixes
You are the BEST, thanks for sharing your knowledge freely to us non mechanics. I greatly appreciate you taking the time and effort to make and share these videos. Thanks
Thank you for the Great information just proves after many years of small engine repair I never know everything and always enjoy learning from others. Ed
Have kohler courage 26, had to replace coils from the original electronic back to magneto, gapped them at .25. Now starter spins up and meshes with flywheel but won't turn it, I can turn flywheel by hand so not stuck.????
You've been a great help, especially this video. But I put in two new coils and now I have no spark on one coil a all. I replaced the coil two more times still no spark on the same cylinder
Man I'm glad I'm not the only one to run into this. Tractor brought in, you check it over tell them, ok here is what it needs. Do the repair, crank it up, ooops another problem, call the customer, fix that one, Dang something else, call the customer, Now they are at your door with the pitch forks and torches LOL Good video Taryl I only missed the Toro Question. Guessed Murry by the headlight plastic, got the others though.
Great video, my Craftsman GT5000 with Kohler 22hp V twin is doing the exact same thing, intermittent spark on right side, changed plugs and still missing intermittent, coils are ordered now! Thanks for the good info on testing!
I have a 22Hp Kohler motor on a Sears 50" cut lawnmower. Motor runs great, then just shuts off. Battery goes dead when new after it has run for a while. Motor sounds great while running though. First thing that came to mind to me was the coil/coils? got hot and would shut it off. The battery is dead now, it is old. But I can still jump start it and runs awesome then shuts off. Can you give me any ideas what you think could be wrong with it? Enjoy your videos, and learn from them. Thank you for sharing them. A guy I know has a Husqvarna mower that acts like the switch is bad, but watching your video showed me how to check the swithch, which is good. Now I have to test the safety switches on it to see why it won't start. I can start with screw driver on the solenoid.
I am working on a CH25S V twin kohler horizontal , But otherwise like that vertical shaft of yours, in my zero turn right now. Always great tips with some comedy from Darryl!
I have a Kohler ch 18 that's been running rough and backfiring a little. I put the spark testers on as u did and like yours,one is steady and the other is erratic. I've been searching for symptoms of a weak coil a and nothing describes my symptoms. My question is, can a coil go weak and cause these symptoms? I've asked about this on a small engine and garden tractor forums and nobody addressed the possibility of a bad coil. The carb has been replaced and fuel flow is good.
Hey got a husqvarna pushmower won’t run it’s got spark and gettin fuel but feels like it’s down on compression alittle it’s gotta be valves or bad head gasket right
Could I use/modify a carb and intake from a vertical shaft 18 hp kohler command on my horizontal engine, in hopes of making the engine shorter, got some clearance issues
Taryl... my friend has a 1981-86 not sure. 540 Bobcat with a Kohler motor . ran good when he bought it. but now it floods out ? what do you think it could be?
I have a question not related to this video. I have a kohler command pro CV24 on a toro z master zero turn and the solenoid has failed. And I have another kohler command CV22 that I was going to use the starter off of but the one on the toro has the solenoid built onto the starter and the donor does not. My question is will the starter off of a kohler command pro CH17 horizontal shaft engine work on the kohler command pro CV24 engine? Because I can't find a starter with a built on solenoid for the CV24. Thank you for your videos. I have learned a lot from you !!!
Hey Taryl, what is the cylindrical barrel shaped device on the front left of the twin engine? Last night I was doing maintenance and repair on a recently purchased JD G110 and noticed that thing was loose,…maybe broken? I shoved it back on but now it’s smoking when I start it (briefly!) but it then died….thoughts?
I have a kohler mv18s spewing oil from the breather tube. I replaced the breather reed valve and it still does it. Any helpful advice would be appreciated
I have a 94 Kohler M20 with a mystery oil leak and am trying to figure out how the flywheel comes off. Video of engine on my page. Do I have to disassemble all of it or just the bolt, located in the hollow shaft?
Ya the koler CV18S runs about 20 seconds then quits ! Choke it to start and does the same thing. Put new fuel line from tank , new filter , pump works and put new carb on it ! Need an idea what to check now . Can you help .
Thanks for the video just had a cub cadet do the same thing and I pulled the spark plug off while it was running and it ran the same way so I know the coils bad
First off... Thank ya Thank ya Thank ya !! I have a Kroler 25hp (not original engine on my Exmark Turf Tracer, label gone haha) about two weeks ago, it started losing power under load, even light grass. Here are my challenging trouble shooting tips. 1. was harder to start, had to pull choke, crank and quickly release choke and it would fire up. 2 under load, slight black smoke like loading up and engine dropped to about 20 percent. No apparent miss just no power. Here is what I did....checked the compression by removing both plugs and cranking 60 in both cylinders (is this due to compression release? on command?mixed input here) New plugs, Fuel line, Fuel filter, fuel pump, new carb. 2 checked charging system, seems good. battery good. Now I did your test on this video and at first I was disappointed to see both glowing orange. I engaged blades and still orange BUT after about five mins... I noticed a flickering on one coil compared to the other. I purchased a kit and intend to replace. ANY thoughts from the Wise and Powerful Taryl?? you fix this one... I'm gettin a shirt!
hey taryl...my brother has the LS45 ...16HP Kohler command engine. we are going thru trying to figure out why he has no fuel going to the carb. Put a new Mikuni fuel pump on...no go...took the line off from the gas tank to the pump, held it down and lots of fuel comes out... there is ZERO pulse from the pulse line that goes to the crankcase when turning over. what would cause this?? ie: what should we be looking at next? thx a bunch. fellow grassrats....
I have kohler command 14 hp motor on a simplicity. Mower wasn't charging the battery. I checked the magnets under the flywheel and there were still at attached. I then put the flywheel back on then and put a new rectifier on it. Now the mower will not crank. I took the carburetor apart to see it had got trash in it after I had moved the fuel tank around. Still will not crank?
Hey Taryl, I got a Husqvarna riding mower with Kohler engine with dual ignition coil. I've had the problem where it won't restart after it's been running for a while or hot. I've replaced the solenoid and both ignition coils and it seemed to work fine. But again it's doing the same thing. The spark plugs and oil have been changed as well recently. What else should I check? Thanks in advance.
Hey in this video when u hade it running and u could here it picking up and dieing down. Was that because it was only running on one cylinder and then pickin up on the second cylinder then dieing back down to the one again
I have a question for u. There . I have a 25hp kosher 7000 series on a gravely ztr 52” , What cross reference oil filter would you recommended for the 12-050-01-S1 can I buy that is a longer filter to hold a little more oil .
Very helpful. What RPM should a CV740 Kohler be at for MAX throttle & no load? The K71 transaxle states 3400rpm, but shouldn't the engine be a little higher than that at no load (in neutral & mower deck idle)? Thanx.
Got a Kohler 715S that I can't get running right. Wasn't getting spark to one side. Thought it was the coil, ordered 2 new coils. Put both on and won't start. Put old "working" coil on with one new one, started up but now the other side not getting spark. Basically both new coils - ownt start. If I use one new coil and one old, only the side with the new coil gets spark regardless which side its on (I switched them around every combo I could think of) worked fine two weeks ago, then stopped (but this had been happening off and on all last season) any help would be appreciated, thanks
I have a Scotts with the 20hp Kohler that had the exact same hood on it. It was made by Murray. When I entered in some part numbers online , Murray was the only parts diagram that matched up. Maybe manufacturers swap each other parts. Even the head light assembly is the same. cheers
Most Scotts I have seen were either Murray built or John Deere built. I have trouble finding a part for my murray built scotts I had so I sold it. Mine was a 15 hp single Kohler but, run great and mowed good only spent 250 originally for mine served me good a couple years but, wish I could of fixed it.
Great video Taryl. I have the same motor in my tractor and it sounds just like this. I need a new coil too. Thanks for the video and helping me trouble shoot my tractor.
question. i have a Hustler Xone i. And there is a buzzing noise coming from the Ignition controller module. It doesnt start or turn over at all. Just buzzy very little/quietly
Hey Tayrl, I have a Kohler 25hp twin. I put a new carburetor on it and now it back fires after warmed up upon restart only. Do you think it's the carb or valve gap? 750 hours on motor. Thanks Tom
have a kohler cv20, not getting fuel to carb. Changed filters, lines,fuel pump and made sure fuel solenoid was working. I want to know what would cause the pulse line going to the pump not to work.
Hi Taryl. I have a troybilt gtx18 with a Kohler ch18 twin that backfires through the muffler. I rebuilt the carb and had the same problem. I bought a new carb but still the same. It runs fine at low idle but not at med or high. Adjusting the choke helps somewhat but still get some backfiring. Any ideas? Thanks.
I'm still hunngery Mine sounds the same on kolher 7000 but flooding one side I did the carb Pluges got Compression i think the lifter is week because one exaust vale had tobe adjusted bad How about that for Desert ?
I have a kohler model CV13s engine. I believe the ignition coil is bad. Other UA-cam videos show the use of a business card to gap it. Is this correct? If not what is the correct gap?
2-cylinder Kohler engine. trying to locate the carb itself. need to clean bad fuel but do not know if i should remove the silver plate on the front of the motor Please help me get to this carb
Hey Taryl I have a 15hp koler engin on a polan riding mower I bring it home mad two swips around the yard stop turn off come back to finish grass it sounds like it was locked up take plug out lot of gas on plug, motor turns over with out plug put plug back in then sounds locked up won't turn over how do I fix the problem?
I have a kohler courage pro that runs good for a few hrs and then acts up, change plugs and it runs good for a few more hrs. I installed the plug tester devices and one plug wasn't consistent so I changed the one plug on it runs fine or it will for a few hrs and then bad again. Is the coil on that plug bad causing the plug to malfunction. I viewed your Utube on changing coil packs and seems the design was junk, think that is my problem? Thanks
Ok, while mowing my ch670s died like you shut it off. Has gas, oil, and oil light goes off. Removed wire from oil sensor to no avail. It fire but dies shortly thereafter. Any ideas?
thank you sir i learn a lot,But i have a question,i have riding lawn mower exmark 708cc twin engine but i can start,i test the solinoid and theres a beep on when i attach the 2 terminal to the battery but i dont have a reading,i put it back it cranks but wont start.i check the coil it rashted i clean them and still wont start.but anyway im waiting the new solinoid.can you tell me whats wrong with it SIR,I really appreciate if you can help me,GOD BLESS as always.
Love your videos Taryl. I have a kohler SV735 engine that bogs under load. I went through the easy stuff. cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel filter, and new plugs. Still bogging down. I'm wondering if either my fuel solenoid isn't working (the fuel pump is) or if I have a bad coil. What should I check first? Thganks
Taryl!!! Please help! I have a 2005 Dixie Chopper with 550 hours that had been run pretty hard but has served me well. It stopped running last fall and since then I have replaced: both coil packs, spark plugs, head gaskets, intake gaskets, carburetor (oem factory), fuel filter, all fuel lines, fuel pump, and both breather filters. It starts up and runs now and seems to be strong but not full strength. As soon as I try to push in the choke just the tiniest little bit the engine dies. Compression on both sides is 150psi. I have not done a leak down test yet but if it fails that I think I would rather replace the engine than go any further with this one. What could it be? Again, please save me! Thank you in advance for any advice that you offer.
Taryl thanks for the knowledge you bring...i got a question. I have a kohler cv22s-67515 engine. problem is my 24 584 36 s ignition coils have went out and the replacements don't fit. Mine for some reason have walbro ma-2b ignition coils which are smaller than the ignition coils that the manual calls out. my intake is making it impossible for the 24 584 36 s coils or the conversion kit to fit. My question is can i grind down the outer metal where the bolts go through to make them fit without it messing up the coils? thanks
I got the testers at harbor freight tools the next day. Not only did my mower run like his but when i put the testers on the lights was just like his. I ordered two coils and will get them today. Im excited Thanks for the video.
I put the new coil on. It didnt fix the problem. Still blinks on that side. I changed the plugs and still no change. That only leaves the ground wire so i must have a intermittent ground on that coil. Ill ohm the wire out there is a plug behind the engine. Might be bad plug connection. Its late so ill look tomorrow.
Finally i got everything fixed. It wasnt a coil but intermitten connection on the ground wire. They seem tight but would get loose so you have to tighten them twice. If i have any more trouble with them ill solder them next time. The reason why my light shows bad is because the light was bad. It would blink worse showing the loose connection but it would blink a little anyway. It caused me lots of headache trying to fix the coils. When i swapped the lights i thought how can that be so put bith lights in series and one would blink lots and one wouldnt blink at all. So if youre going to use this type of cheap testers like i did out them in series and make sure they both work right.
Mr. Taryl, my Kohler cv16s has low compression. Can you tell me priorities of checks/tests you would do with low compression (70 psi)? I'm thinking of checking valve clearance first because its pretty easy to do. Maybe you can make a video on what to do when you have low compression.
I have a 19hp Kawasaki that sounded like it was intermittently losing spark. Put a spark tester on it and sure enough the one side was losing spark. Changed the coil on that side and replaced spark plugs on both sides. It ran great for about a week then started doing the same thing. It still does it intermittently. It might be fine for a couple mows then I'll go to start it up a few days later and it does it immediately. Shut it off and start it the next morning and it will be fine. What am I missing??
Great video - I have a 19 1/2 year old Kohler CV-25S with the notorious digital spark system I will replace with the good ol' old timey version Kohler went back to using - Kohler keeps learning ... Kohler makes great stuff but they do have some idiotic issues - also I run Royal Purple synthetic oil but am switching to AMSOIL and filter for even better protection/long life

Need an idea what to check now .
Can you help .
What would cause a spark plug to break off the tip while removing and then very hard to screw in Kohler CV18 HP?
What is that roll part on valve cover and the hose go to carburetor on right side of engine
I'm working on a Honda HT3813 that when I changed the battery I lost spark and hope as well.... I'm at a loss 👀😭

& no load? The K71 transaxle states 3400rpm, but shouldn't the
engine be a little higher than that at no load (in neutral & mower
deck idle)? Thanx.
Got a Kohler 715S that I can't get running right. Wasn't getting spark to one side. Thought it was the coil, ordered 2 new coils. Put both on and won't start. Put old "working" coil on with one new one, started up but now the other side not getting spark. Basically both new coils - ownt start. If I use one new coil and one old, only the side with the new coil gets spark regardless which side its on (I switched them around every combo I could think of) worked fine two weeks ago, then stopped (but this had been happening off and on all last season) any help would be appreciated, thanks
I have a Scotts with the 20hp Kohler that had the exact same hood on it. It was made by Murray. When I entered in some part numbers online , Murray was the only parts diagram that matched up. Maybe manufacturers swap each other parts. Even the head light assembly is the same. cheers
Most Scotts I have seen were either Murray built or John Deere built. I have trouble finding a part for my murray built scotts I had so I sold it. Mine was a 15 hp single Kohler but, run great and mowed good only spent 250 originally for mine served me good a couple years but, wish I could of fixed it.
Great video Taryl. I have the same motor in my tractor and it sounds just like this. I need a new coil too. Thanks for the video and helping me trouble shoot my tractor.
question. i have a Hustler Xone i. And there is a buzzing noise coming from the Ignition controller module. It doesnt start or turn over at all. Just buzzy very little/quietly
Awesome video as usuasl taryl. Learned so much from you I been repairing mowers and doing very well. Thanks
Hey Tayrl,
I have a Kohler 25hp twin. I put a new carburetor on it and now it back fires after warmed up upon restart only. Do you think it's the carb or valve gap? 750 hours on motor.
Thanks
Tom
have a kohler cv20, not getting fuel to carb. Changed filters, lines,fuel pump and made sure fuel solenoid was working. I want to know what would cause the pulse line going to the pump not to work.
Hi Taryl. I have a troybilt gtx18 with a Kohler ch18 twin that backfires through the muffler. I rebuilt the carb and had the same problem. I bought a new carb but still the same. It runs fine at low idle but not at med or high. Adjusting the choke helps somewhat but still get some backfiring. Any ideas? Thanks.
What would make a stater smoke after I put a push button start and kill switch on my rider after i hook up the battery
Well done Taryl great information on the trouble shooting.
Taryl, I have a toro/wheelhorse w/a bad kohler, what briggs can I put on it without a nightmare? Thx
Where can I get the flywheel from for that engine
I'm still hunngery Mine sounds the same on kolher 7000 but flooding one side I did the carb Pluges got Compression i think the lifter is week because one exaust vale had tobe adjusted bad How about that for Desert ?
I have a kohler model CV13s engine. I believe the ignition coil is bad. Other UA-cam videos show the use of a business card to gap it. Is this correct? If not what is the correct gap?
your videos are great. i hope one day you can show how to replace a peerless transmission on a bobcat or similar walk behind thank you mr. dactal
You are the manTaryl.
2-cylinder Kohler engine. trying to locate the carb itself. need to clean bad fuel but do not know if i should remove the silver plate on the front of the motor Please help me get to this carb
Can a test light do the same test as the spark tester?
Dad's old kohler pro24 engine which now resides in my jd L120 had bad coil on same side
what to do with a kohler ch11s blowing oil form the pvc vent in to carb? run good ?
You brighten up my day, Taryl
Hey Taryl I have a 15hp koler engin on a polan riding mower I bring it home mad two swips around the yard stop turn off come back to finish grass it sounds like it was locked up take plug out lot of gas on plug, motor turns over with out plug put plug back in then sounds locked up won't turn over how do I fix the problem?
Is three an additive to prevent caron buildup in small engines
I have a kohler courage pro that runs good for a few hrs and then acts up, change plugs and it runs good for a few more hrs. I installed the plug tester devices and one plug wasn't consistent so I changed the one plug on it runs fine or it will for a few hrs and then bad again. Is the coil on that plug bad causing the plug to malfunction. I viewed your Utube on changing coil packs and seems the design was junk, think that is my problem? Thanks
Ok, while mowing my ch670s died like you shut it off. Has gas, oil, and oil light goes off. Removed wire from oil sensor to no avail. It fire but dies shortly thereafter. Any ideas?
Brilliant video thank you ❤️😎💡👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thank you sir i learn a lot,But i have a question,i have riding lawn mower exmark 708cc twin engine but i can start,i test the solinoid and theres a beep on when i attach the 2 terminal to the battery but i dont have a reading,i put it back it cranks but wont start.i check the coil it rashted i clean them and still wont start.but anyway im waiting the new solinoid.can you tell me whats wrong with it SIR,I really appreciate if you can help me,GOD BLESS as always.
A lot of knowledge Taryl and very smart as well.
Love your videos Taryl. I have a kohler SV735 engine that bogs under load. I went through the easy stuff. cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel filter, and new plugs. Still bogging down. I'm wondering if either my fuel solenoid isn't working (the fuel pump is) or if I have a bad coil. What should I check first? Thganks
Taryl!!! Please help! I have a 2005 Dixie Chopper with 550 hours that had been run pretty hard but has served me well. It stopped running last fall and since then I have replaced: both coil packs, spark plugs, head gaskets, intake gaskets, carburetor (oem factory), fuel filter, all fuel lines, fuel pump, and both breather filters. It starts up and runs now and seems to be strong but not full strength. As soon as I try to push in the choke just the tiniest little bit the engine dies. Compression on both sides is 150psi. I have not done a leak down test yet but if it fails that I think I would rather replace the engine than go any further with this one. What could it be? Again, please save me! Thank you in advance for any advice that you offer.
Taryl thanks for the knowledge you bring...i got a question. I have a kohler cv22s-67515 engine. problem is my 24 584 36 s ignition coils have went out and the replacements don't fit. Mine for some reason have walbro ma-2b ignition coils which are smaller than the ignition coils that the manual calls out. my intake is making it impossible for the 24 584 36 s coils or the conversion kit to fit. My question is can i grind down the outer metal where the bolts go through to make them fit without it messing up the coils? thanks
What would make a coil go bad like that ? I've had v-twin briggs ferever and never had a coil problem .
Finally i see a mower running just like mine. Ill get the testers tomorrow if i csn find them and do the spark test
I got the testers at harbor freight tools the next day. Not only did my mower run like his but when i put the testers on the lights was just like his. I ordered two coils and will get them today. Im excited
Thanks for the video.
I put the new coil on. It didnt fix the problem. Still blinks on that side. I changed the plugs and still no change. That only leaves the ground wire so i must have a intermittent ground on that coil. Ill ohm the wire out there is a plug behind the engine. Might be bad plug connection. Its late so ill look tomorrow.
Finally i got everything fixed. It wasnt a coil but intermitten connection on the ground wire. They seem tight but would get loose so you have to tighten them twice. If i have any more trouble with them ill solder them next time. The reason why my light shows bad is because the light was bad. It would blink worse showing the loose connection but it would blink a little anyway. It caused me lots of headache trying to fix the coils. When i swapped the lights i thought how can that be so put bith lights in series and one would blink lots and one wouldnt blink at all. So if youre going to use this type of cheap testers like i did out them in series and make sure they both work right.
Mr. Taryl, my Kohler cv16s has low compression. Can you tell me priorities of checks/tests you would do with low compression (70 psi)? I'm thinking of checking valve clearance first because its pretty easy to do. Maybe you can make a video on what to do when you have low compression.
What brand spark tester are those that you have installed while running that engine? I have a ch18 that loses power in tall grass
Just replaced my CV16 head gasket. Now the kohler will start, but won't continue to run. What's up with that?
taryl . what makes a kohler 19HP. engine surge.? it rives up & then down constantly.
Great video, this man looks and sounds just like my Economics professor at UC Berkeley.
This guy was great in Deliverance.
I have a 19hp Kawasaki that sounded like it was intermittently losing spark. Put a spark tester on it and sure enough the one side was losing spark. Changed the coil on that side and replaced spark plugs on both sides. It ran great for about a week then started doing the same thing. It still does it intermittently. It might be fine for a couple mows then I'll go to start it up a few days later and it does it immediately. Shut it off and start it the next morning and it will be fine. What am I missing??
Great video - I have a 19 1/2 year old Kohler CV-25S with the notorious digital spark system I will replace with the good ol' old timey version Kohler went back to using - Kohler keeps learning ... Kohler makes great stuff but they do have some idiotic issues - also I run Royal Purple synthetic oil but am switching to AMSOIL and filter for even better protection/long life
I got one the same way replaced coil and still misses no spark ?
We need a Taryl who works on outboard motors here on Long Island NY You go the extra mile to fix it till it’s right and working like new.
What's a good battery for a Craftsman lawn tractor model LT 2000 18hp 42".
Good video. I think that is what is wrong with mine but it is 24 years old and I am getting a new one anyway
