Experience
Past/Present clients I have worked on small air/water cooled engines for 34 Years. I performed warranty work for Lowes of Wilson and other retailers in the area. I Own a Yard Maintenance and Certified Small Engine Repair Service Center.
I have a Craftsman rear drive lawn mower 6.75 Hi-Torque Eagle-1. Model number 143.986710. My problem is that when I pull the throttle lever, there is no compression. If I do not pull the throttle lever, it has compression. I checked the oil level and it is fine. Any suggestions.
Thanks
Answer Hello Shawn:
Go to this Site Addy, http://www3.sears.com/ and Enter the Model Numbers in the Upper Left Search Box and Click Go. Then Visually Verify the Equipment and CLick Continue. From this Page you can View Diagrams or Parts Lists for you Equipment. Using you Mower Model Numbers and the Engine Model Numbers can you Locate the Lever you are Talking About and Give me the Diagram Number or a Reference Number, Please. The Only Lever that Should Effect the Engine in the Manner you Described is the Engine Stop/Brake Lever. Thanks.
