Neither the fan or element are working on our Smeg suk62cmx5. I've removed the element and tested it with a multi-meter and it seemed to be OK although wouldn't guarantee it. The thermostat light does still come on as well - which I believe rules out a thermostat problem. I have replaced the...

Having cleaned the carb and got it working:running properly things now seem to have gone backwards. It is now a real struggle to get the mower started. It turns over ok but won't start. Previously it started fine but stalled when more throttle was added. Now I can't get it to start - most of...

Still not get anywhere with this one. I will be able to take a closer look at the weekend. If it still doesn't become clear then I will post some more pictures of the pulley configuration. One thing I am still not clear on is why the belt running to the section under the seat wouldn't be used...

Actually, what does the belt running to the bottom section of pic 3 do? If there is a belt running from the engine end of the mower to the section under the seat then what would that be for other than powering something at that end?

Ok, will have another (closer) look. When you say vee groove, I assume you mean another pulley section/wheel to take a belt?

Yes, that's spot on and I think it might be the middle pulley that I'm missing. I have included some pics. The first shows the pulley on the mower directly behind the seat. The second the pulley on the collector. As you mention, these are connected by a belt which twists 90 degrees. The final...

Yes, that's right. I will add some pics tomorrow.

Mower now running - although have a further problem with the powered collector which I have posted under a separate thread. Burnerman, many thanks for your help with this issue.

Long shot but hoping someone can tell me how to get the powered collector (PTO) working on a Hayter H1842. I have connected up the belt from mower to collector but engaging the PTO doesn't appear to do anything. I assume it is meant to start the mower end of the belt drive turning but it...

Hi, carburettor now off, float bowl removed but can't get pin out to remove float. Is there a knack to that? Have cleaned up carb as best I can using carb cleaner etc. It was covered in dirt on the outside and not great inside but now much better although not perfect. I've seen some comments...

Ok, thanks. I got quite a long way with this but got stuck because there are one or two thin metal rods connected - which seem to connect the throttle and choke - and I am not sure how to disconnect them. I think if I can do so and they are also easy to reconnect then I could remove the carb...

Are you able to tell if it is the Keihin or Nikki carb?

Ok, I am ready to have a crack at this now. Once I have removed the two flange nuts, what do I do next? Do I need to remove the carburettor or can I clean it/spray it in place?

Thanks. I bought some carb cleaner in advance - just in case. Happy to have a crack at it although suspect I will need some further advise. I am also unlikely to get to this for a few days now. Thanks for the help and will post again when I try and proceed with this.

Are these pics any use?

Ok, thanks will do.

Hi, thanks for the replies. It is a Hayter H1842 mower with a Kohler engine. Not sure which model engine but found the manual for the engine which covers the following models: CV17, 25, 620, 730, 740, 750. The manual says not to try and service the carburettor yourself! Hope that helps.

I've inherited a ride on lawnmower but not been able to use it. It starts but as soon as you add some throttle/power it stalls. It will run ok-ish with the throttle in the lowest setting but nothing more. Any ideas on what it could be or what I can check? I have checked fuel is getting to the...

Can someone explain to me why there are two valves? What does the 2nd do? How do I establish whether the 2nd is a dummy? I can still use/test the radiator when the central heating is on - the right valve seems to control whether the radiator warms up. What does the left valve do?
