so neighbor drives his 2nd hand, 59 hour, 'hard starting' ARGO over for me to look at..... hmm, 23HP B&S Vanguard engine. if you bypass the starter solenoid (screwdriver), nice... so probably needs a new solenoid... OK, WHERE's the 'engineer' who decided that using a gear clamp to secure the solenoid onto the starter was a 'good' idea ?? I want him here, NOW, to replace the solenoid !!! There is NO way a normal human can do it.heck I can't even 'feel-find' the clamp screw. OK, no big deal,if you're stuck in the bush, there's always the recoil start.... NOT. Same 'engineer' expect you to remove the 'firewall' ,fish your hand through a maze of SHARP mechanically things then pull the cord ??? I'd like a demonstration please ! At the end of the 3 hours , I had 2 suggestions(3 really,shhhh ) 1..keep long screwdriver IN the ARGO, so jump start when needed...... 2) spend 2 dayze this summer and rotate the recoil from 9oclock to 2oclock. They may be 'cute' and 'useful' but NOT easy to work on. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
