Do it yourself

Troybilt snowblower would not start.

By woody1291

I purchased this Troybilt snowblower new and brought it home and put a little gas in it and it started perfectly. Let it set for about 2 and 1/2 months and it would not start. Was told I left the gas in too long and it had plugged the carb. Now I have it fixed but am trying to prevent this in the future. I leave gasoline in my John Deere riding mower and my MTD roto tiller over the winter with no problems.

Does Troybilt have something in the carb that is so critical to not leaving gas in it for any amount of time. I have never used stabil or any of the gasoline products to prevent these things so it seems to be a Troybilt only problem. If this is the case I think I will never purchase any of their products again. It has a Briggs motor on it and so do all of my other items so I am at a loss on this.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS.

Battery cables – John Deere

Leave a comment

By Tripper

Hello,

I have a “Scott’s”, built by John Deere, 17hp riding lawn mower. The ‘Positive’ battery connection has oxidized the first 1/2″ right on the eye and is really screwing up starting.

Battery is good…..12.35 on my meter.

It is a top post Lawn and Garden battery with the wire having an ‘eye’ at the end and being attached through the top post hole with a bolt.

The ‘eye’ and the bolt are either copper or brass….don’t know which, but not steel like the Negative.

Does anyone know whether these are copper or brass? And to avoid them oxidizing again should I just get a steel ‘eye’ and a steel bolt to re-fasten the Positive to the battery?

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks

Tripper
