How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
If the pawls do not retract then the springs need to be replaced. Remove the center bolt and cap, remove ratchet pulls, use pliers to pull out the old springs, then install the new springs and re-install the pawls. Reinstall the center bolt and cap and the starter back onto the engine.
A Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine can become locked up due to a variety of reasons. Common causes of this type of engine lock-up include a lack of oil in the engine, incorrect fuel and spark plug misfiring.
The problem may be in the recoil starter itself. A tangled coil of rope or a broken spring may be the problem. In many cases the recoil starter is easily replaced as a single assembly. DO NOT attempt do take the starter apart.
Snowblower pull cord commonly snaps back because the flywheel shear key has broken. The shear key helps maintain the flywheel crankshaft relationship. When the shear key breaks, the engine timing is off, which causes the pull cord to snap back sharply.

A typical cause for this is that the engine flywheel brake (the bar you hold down on the handle that stops the engine when released) is engaged. Be sure to bring the bar down all the way to the handle before pulling. This can also happen if your mower blade is dragging in grass or clogged with grass clippings.

The operator pulls the rope`s handle or grip. This causes the rope to unwind around the crankshaft and spin it. The spinning motion of the crankshaft cranks the engine. The crankshaft`s motion engages the flywheel, enabling the engine to start.

Trimmer starts up then when I pull on the throttle I dies, even after it has warmed up
ANSWER : Try this it may just need adjustment.
Look
on the carb for 2 screws side by side. where those screws go into the
carb, it will be stamped with an “H” and “L”. Open the screw that is
next to the “H”, counterclockwise about 1/4 turn at a time with the
engine running, that should solve it.

I have pulled the cord out of my gas powered trimmer. What is the easiest way to fix this
ANSWER : Remove the pull start mechanism, remove the old rope from the inside plastic, thread a new rope through the hole in the outside and through the hole in the plastic center where you removed the old rope, Now reach between the spool and the edge of the casing and pull some slack in the rope, there will be a notch in the spool, set the rope into the notch and begin spinning the spool to make tension in the spring ( correct direction is the same way the rope is spooled in. go until you have good tension on spring, grab rope left outside casing and pull through, then let rope get pulled into the spool with the spring tension you have created. Now just reattach the handle.

I rebuilt the carb as you advised. It took me a long time to get a kit because no one had one around here. I have new gas, new plug and still no go. I removed the plug and it was dry, so I put alittle gas in the plug hole and tried again, no go. What do you suggest I do now? Thanks Lee
ANSWER : Check to see if you have spark. This is done by removing the spark plug, connecting the wire to it placing it plug against the metal on the motor and pulling the starter cord. It is best to do this where the light is not bright because what you will be looking for is a spark on the spark plug. If there is a strong spark then that is good and will start it if the fuel/air ration is right. I hope this helps.

Need to replace fuel lines….does the prime bulb connected to return fuel line or the supply fuel line
ANSWER : Hi stglass900…
Normally the big line will be the line the fuel filter is connected to inside of the tank, and is connected to the primer bulb.
The smaller of the two lines is the return line to the fuel tank from the carburetor after it is pumped thru the carburetor by the primer bulb.
