| 2009-05-14 | David | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | John C. Bridgers Sr., I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. You were right on the money. I adjusted my pto a 1/4 turn and cut my grass. It helped but did not eliminate my problem. I made another 1/4 turn and just cut my grass for the second time, and the pto unit started back up every time. Thankyou for your expert advice. I really appreciate it. This is a valuable website. Dave Baker |

| 2009-04-24 | Charlie | 10 | 7 | 10 | 10 | Yes | John was very quick to respond to my question and seems very knowledgeable of the subject matter. Since I have never taken apart or worked on a small engine, his answer seemed complicated. However, I attribute that more to my lack of subject matter knowledge than any shortcoming on John's part. Thanks for trying John. |
| 2009-04-24 | Tony Mentele | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | John thank you so much. As soon as i shifted my thinking to look for a gasket leak I found the problem. One of the head bolts was loose and air was leaking in there. When the engine heated up everything would expand and the leak would seal off. This has been going on for a couple of years. I had to actually pull the head and retap the bolt hole so it could be tightened to specs. Now it works like a dream. Thank you, thank you thank you!!!! Tony Mentele |

| 2009-04-21 | greg | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | John, Thank you for your help. oil was not overfilled and the breather appeared to be functioning so I removed the head and sure enough the gasket was blown. $7 at the local parts shop and i hope to be back at it tomorrow. Thanks again! |

| 2009-04-11 | Ronnie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks John for your reply! I put the module in and saw started and ran for about 5 seconds - died - and wouldn't fire anymore. I believe my coil is bad; have ordered a electronic coil so as to not need the module. If you like I can e-mail you if this fixed the problem. Thanks Again, Ronnie |
