About P.K. Jones
Expertise
I can answer most questions about commercial and residential outdoor equipment. I can also help with questions about import atv's, Karts and scooters. I can't help you with generator electrical output however if it's an engine problem, I'm more than happy to help. I'm in the South, so snowblowers and snowmobiles are outside of my area of knowledge. If it's a question about the engine on a snowblower I can help. But I'm just not familiar with the drive systems for snowblowers.

Experience
I own Grand Junction Small Engines and Grandjunctionsmallengines.com, a full service shop and national parts sales site. My shop is an Authorized Repair Center for many brands and we work on equipment from most manufacturers. We are also a dealer and service center for several lines of outdoor sports products such as atv's, utv's and Karts. Personally, I have over 25 years experience working with small engines and outdoor power equipment.

Education/Credentials
I've attended many small engine and power equipment factory schools and seminars. I average 100 plus hours annually in update schools and specialized training schools and am current on all brands my shop is authorized to do warranty and factory service on.

Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.) - short on Yazoo Zero Turn mower


Expert: P.K. Jones - 6/28/2009

Question
I have a short that keeps blowing the 20 AMP fuse on my Yazoo/Kees Zero turn. When I ride it (230 lbs)it blows the fuse under the seat. When my wife (120 lbs) it does not blow the fuse. Where should I start. Yazoo/Kees 23 hp Model #zkh61221

Thanks very much Steve Parker

Answer
I think I'd put a couple hundred pounds of weight on the seat and then start checking wires for continuity to ground.  There's probably not any easy way to find it other than that.  A short is hard enough to find, adding this special circumstance is going to make it even harder I imagine.  Wish there was an easy answer.  Thanks, PK.
