    Can anyone here recommend a small engine repair shop / machine shop in SE Pennsylvania? I want to rebuild my seized k241?

    Thanks for the info. I'll have to change the oil. I asked about the grinding gears because sometimes I'll come to a stop and when I switch gears they would grind. My brakes don't work so I'll have to fix those and see if it makes a difference. The clutch is definately disengaging because I...

    My cub is a 106: 1) After seeing the oil comments, am I wrong to be running Mobil 1 High milelage 10w30 in my k241? 2) I need to replace my gearbox oil. Is it just 90w or are there other recomendations? 3) Does the gear box have syncronizers? I'm often grinding when switching gears.

    Thanks Harry B. for the carb setup info. I'll have to do that next time a get a chance. I was researching the RPM tach this morning and ordered a Briggs and Stratton 19200 vibration tach for $30. Not the cheapest, but it'll last the rest of my life. I had considered an electronic tach/hour...

    The governor adjustment was the problem! I adjusted the through rod a good quarter turn. The more I learn the more fun it is. Now I just need to find a tachometer to adjust my RPM to the right speed. I have it set low until I can verify what it is. Thanks guys!

    Thanks for all the info guys. My terminology was in fact misleading. Half throttle meant full speed. I essentially have a very small range from idle to full speed. Adjusting the cable only moves that range on the throttle (near top or bottom) and does not improve the range. Upon watching...

    Hi all, I have a 106 I just replaced the motor on with one from a 100. The idle is off. There is not much range in the throttle lever. I'm at full idle halfway up the scale. Adjusting it at the motor connection doesn't seem to do anything. When I mow, the motor bogs down as I hit taller...
